FROM THE ARCHIVES 2011 There is a feeling under my skin - one that has risen to the surface over the past few years since my divorce. It tells of love, despair, renewal, and adventure. It comes from marrying, birthing, falling, bleeding, daring, reaching and celebrating. It’s a story – a hard-earned one – that is me, but not all of me: […]
Over the past three years since I got divorced, it is by far THE most popular statement I’ve heard from women: “I don’t need a man”. And it’s been said with passion. Power. Ownership.

Anyone looking in on my life when I was married would have thought, ‘Man, now she‘s living the Good Life.” Cause in addition to having three beautiful children, a lovely home and lots of ‘toys’, we appeared to have a lot of love and wealth; the quintessential family dream come true.

But even though we got along brilliantly, even though he said he was crazy about me, one main thing deterred his interest: the fact that I […]
Two months into his divorce, Mike returned home early from work one afternoon to a big surprise: his ex-wife had let herself in and was standing in his living room. “I needed to come by and pick up a few things,” she said casually. “I tried calling you earlier. Didn’t you get my message? I didn’t think you’d mind…” […]
Within months of separating from my ex two years ago, I suddenly felt an incredible need to redecorate the master bedroom. I’m not sure if I did it more as a mental distraction at the time, or if some unconscious part of me knew I needed to ‘get him out of there” and make a new space […]
