It’s different for…Read more »
Posted by in Self Development Fear. Its meaning is different for everyone. What we fear is individualized and customized just for us. Some may fear abandonment. Some may fear death. Some may fear loneliness. But if you’re me, you fear being alone and not being approved of. You fear not being accepted. You fear not being loved during the hard…Read more »
Posted by in Family, Self Development Why, at times, does it feel like the hardest thing we’ll ever do, is live this life for ourselves? Take narcissists out of the equation, and it seems kind of backwards, doesn’t it? We come into this life as a single, whole person. We start whole, because we know no different.

Posted by in Family, Parenting, Self Development I was sitting on a secret for almost a week before I decided to call my father. He had noticed I was distant the past few months but I didn’t let on that it was anything more than stress at work, stress with the kids or the usual busyness of life. I could tell he…Read more »
Ok, so here’s the honest to goodness truth, divorce sucks. I know, shocker. The process is horrific, painful and gut-wrenching. Sharing custody of your children can really suck, too.
