Divorce: Is Happiness A Choice?
Aug 19th
Divorced Happily Ever After. That’s the name of my business and I get a lot of remarks on it, along with some laughter. I’ll admit, it is a bit provocative. But that’s kind of the point. See, I’m tired of all the negativity surrounding divorce. I’m not saying there aren’t a lot of negative things [...]
Divorce: School Technology Needs to Get With the Times
Jun 25th
what about situations where the divorced parents aren’t so chummy? Do you think the parent getting the phone calls is ever gonna bother letting their ex know about the school play or the meet-your-new-teacher night? No. And then when that other parent doesn’t show up, how does the child feel?

…it can be tough when you’re living by yourself, running a household, working, and being a parent. There are times you might feel overwhelmed.

I’m Done With Resolutions – What About You?
Jan 3rd
For most people, resolutions don’t last very long.
Why is that? I think it’s because they’re usually based on something negative. Either we’re trying to quit doing something that’s hard to quit (smoking, eating unhealthy foods, drinking, etc), or we’re trying to start doing something because we’re unhappy with our current weight, lifestyle, relationship, job, etc. [...]
