...when you're stuck in a moment of pain, doesn't it feel dramatic to you? Doesn't it feel that no one could ever understand the shattering of your soul...?
Sometimes You Have to Lose, to Win
The Positivity Plan
It is soooo absolutely easy to give out great advice. You listen to the other person so thoughtfully, you run the situation through in your head, you try to be objective and look at both sides of the story, and then you dole out equally thoughtful, objective guidance. You know what's even easier though? To... Continue Reading →
Be Phenomenal
A week ago, I was honored to provide an inspirational post for an awesome event in CT, "The Phenomenal Women Panel". It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted on the site, but I wanted it share this one with you all. Enjoy! Earlier today, my third grader was telling her brother and me a story...

Lowered Expectations
Something has been on my mind for the last couple of weeks. It's been weighing very heavily...so heavily that I haven't been able to shape my thoughts enough around the subject to begin writing. And it's not something super serious, but it's something super important. I get my inspiration for my posts in the most... Continue Reading →
The Heart of the Matter
Forgiveness. It's a word that's been on my mind for a couple of weeks now. I'd been contemplating whether or not I should write about it, and then Sunday morning, India Arie's cover of the song "Heart of the Matter" rolled through on Pandora, and then her song "Wings of Forgiveness" came on. So yeah, the question... Continue Reading →
The Present IS a Present
Today I saw a quote that was attributed to the Dalai Lama on Facebook. It was his thoughts on what surprised him most about humanity, and he said, "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about... Continue Reading →
What’s Your Vision?
What's your vision for 2015 and beyond? A friend of mine purchased a book for another friend, entitled, "One Word That Will Change Your Life", and, while I haven't read it (I plan to!), the idea is a novel one. What better way to keep yourself and your goals in sight than to give yourself... Continue Reading →
Back Scrubs and Doggie Bags
Yeah, yeah, another post about being single. But this is a serious one. Soooo serious. You never realize how many things you take for granted when you're a part of a couple, especially when it's all you've known for ten or more years. Obviously, when you get that far, you just assume that it's going to... Continue Reading →
Turn Pipe Dreams Into Reality
Every once in a while, we find ourselves lost, confused...feeling out of place. We look in the mirror, and all we feel is disdain and displeasure with the image reflected back at us. We feel insecure, unloved, depressed - every negative emotion and feeling available. And some days, it's seemingly impossible. We'll never find true... Continue Reading →
I Build Walls, and Then I Tear Them Down
Every once in a while, we meet someone who seems to speak to our soul - perhaps even sing to it. And we try so hard to make that person fit into the vision of our future, ignoring the red flags, the doubts, the things we considered deal-breakers with others. For some reason, something in...
