Divorce on Facebook: the Usual Reason Marriages Break Up
The sad thing is that some of these couples might actually be able to work things out or at least part amicably if their Facebook friends and family would stay out of it and stop bringing more hostility into an already bad situation. Divorce on Facebook turns into a divorce by Facebook, often. Mutual friends…

Lessons from the Camino de Santiago: Romantic Relationships
For those of you who have been patiently waiting this last month for me to blog about my pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, thanks for waiting! My boyfriend had been right: this journey was to be “an inflection point” in my life. Not a term I would have used but hey, engineers…what can I…

Relationships Aren’t Always How They Appear from the Outside
Some of my friends and family are worried about me. They’re concerned about my relationships, one in particular. It’s not a bad relationship. In fact, I consider it the sweetest, most caring relationship I have ever had with a man. Yes, any man. It’s also the deepest, closest relationship I have ever had in this…

Attracting Past Partners: When Your Needs Change
Discover how evolving needs influence relationships and the Law of Attraction through personal reflections on attracting past partners.

Sure, If You Love Something, Set It Free…but Do You Wait for It to Come Back?
*** I’ve always hated Jonathon Livingston Seagull. Irrational, I know, but the Richard Bach book came out around the time I was in the fourth grade, and I remember my teacher reading it to the class and gently (she thought) drilling into us that “If you love something, set it free: if it comes back…

Why Support Is Important (Even If You Don’t Need It)
I learned a long time ago—mainly as a child watching my mother—to be self-sufficient, to need no one. That lesson was something I relied upon heavily when I started my life over as a single mom. I’m still rabid about being able to take care of myself and terribly awkward about asking for help. I…

A Seasonal Review: What Were the Most Satisfying Moments of Autumn 2010?
Back on the 24th of August, I emulated my dear friend Maggie Shayne and posted a seasonal review of the summer–not any of the hardships or turbulence but the most satisfying moments of the summer. Now that Autumn has passed and the frigid Florida weather has arrived (yes, it’s dipped several times into the low…

When You’re Older…and Everyone Disapproves of Your New Love
Granddaddy’s been gone for over 15 years, but if he were alive tonight at 105, I’d want to ask his relationship advice. Not about a romantic relationship but about how to deal with disapproval of a romantic relationship that has been bringing me a lot of joy amongst the rollercoaster epiphanies. Of course, I…

The Dark Night of the Soul
The Dark Night of the Soul is a rather ominous term for something that happens in some lives, but not all. I believe that some people actually make it through their entire existence on the planet without encountering anything as dark and devastating as a Dark Night. Those who do–and survive–are forever changed. The term…

The Biggest Epiphany of All: Attracting Love–and More–into Your Life
My back patio at sunset, on a beautiful October day. The last six weeks have been full of epiphanies, but I’ve kept them mostly to myself or shared them with a very limited number of people rather than here. They’ve been mainly for me, just me–at least while I’ve been sorting through them to find…

The Best Reason People You Loved Aren’t Still in Your Life
Photo of a package of glasses on a store shelf. It’s said that there’s a reason that people from your past didn’t make it to the future. Sometimes, in hindsight, you can see that the reason was a very positive one. I lounged in a hotel room over an hour from home, waiting to hear…
