Why Can't People Understand How My Life Has Changed?
I had a lot of friends when I was single. I had a few good friends when I started dating.
I had a couple acquaintances when I got married.
I acquired a whole new set of acquaintances when I got pregnant.
I am in a whole new club now the mommy club. And I love it.
However, I find that the friends that I had when I was single, and even the acquaintances I had when I got married are not the same. More Here...

My Happiness Project
On January 1st of this year, I committed myself to a year of self care and learning how to be happy. I certainly didn’t know at the time that my husband would announce less than two months later that he was having an affair and wouldn’t consider the possibility of salvaging our marriage. Needless to say, learning how to be happy is an even higher priority now. More Here...

Loving the Things I Hate
It has been one of my somewhat unspoken goals lately to learn to love the things I hate. I realized that there are several things in life that I hate simply because I am lazy. Because I am lazy, I haven't necessarily given these things a fair chance, or have at least worked them up in my mind to become unbearable when they are actually tolerable and even enjoyable, if I would only change my attitude about them.

Do Parents Get to ‘Just Say No,’ Too?
More Here...
"Mom, did you do drugs?" my teen asked me as we sat cozily on the couch watching "Woodstock," which I somehow oddly forgotten was rife with drug scenes.This was not an unexpected question, of course, although it's one you don't have to deal with for many years. And as a mom who has often thought parenting is a little like a battlefield — if you don't have a game plan and an arsenal of mental weapons, you're a goner — I should have been prepared. But for whatever reason, I decided that I'd be able to wing it intuitively in the moment.
Now I know how Custer felt.
"Well, um, er ..." I stammered, feeling a migraine come on. And then, out popped an answer of sorts.
