Hey People!
I’ve been trying to write this post for a few days. On one hand, I don’t want to give away too much of the story for those who haven’t yet seen the movie. On the other hand, there’s so much that I want to say because this movie, this story, [...]
A few days ago, through the wonder of Facebook, I came across an article – 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself. I usually approach lists such as this with a full shaker of salt and a carefully honed side-eye. After all, there’s always someone out there ready to give their two [...]
As I sit here with a Body Shop Tea Tree Face Mask on, I am reminded of the episode of Sex and the City in which the lead characters discussed their secret single woman behavior i.e. things that they do as single women living alone that they wouldn’t want their men to [...]
Yesterday, after an especially emotionally draining day, I posted to my Facebook wall “sometimes doing the right thing is hard as hell.” I suppose that I’ve always known this, but it hit me especially hard after my daughter left. My first born. My baby who is no longer a baby. She has [...]

Recently my 12 year old daughter experienced her first romantic heartbreak. As she related the story to me and cried, it was all I could do not to break down. As much as I try to give my daughters realistic expectations of people’s behavior, my little girl had this pie-in-the-sky, over-the-top, romantic [...]
I had an interesting exchange with a friend recently which lead me to ponder the impact that social media has on dating. Chat rooms and online dating sites have been around for years and there are new ones popping up all the time. Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve written about dating/relationships. Makes sense because it’s been a while since there’s been anything going on in that area to write about. Truth be told, there’s still not much to write about. It’s a sad state of affairs (pun intended.)
That little crush I had a [...]
I recently read an article that suggested that teenagers are not developing the skills for building relationships because they communicate primarily via text message; as opposed to face to face and/or verbal communication. I found this quite interesting. I particularly wondered why the author of the article considered this a teenage phenomena [...]
