“Sorry” as a Verb
I have done some deplorable things. I have behaved in ways that make me disgusted and embarrassed at the same time. I used to think saying sorry was enough. I used to feel that since I was incredibly kind and generous 99% of my life, that the 1% in which I was...
Fairytale Relationships
I don't mind when people tell me that my relationship ideals are a fairytale. If it is a fairytale to be loved, to be respected, to have passion, a moving and active love -- if that is fairytale, then yes. If mutual respect, love, lust and friendship is a fairytale,...
How You Do Anything is How You Do Everything
Wow! Crazy when I see it side by side! This was supposed to be posted with an inspirational quote, but I feel the need to share what I feel. I hope you don't mind a morning rambling (or therapy session). How you do anything is how you do everything. I look at this...

A Funeral for Past Relationships
We’ve all been there. Engulfed in the pain of a dead relationship. The people around us tell us to move on, but how? We feel we need closure and we tend to make the mistake of waiting to get it from someone else. It rarely happens. So instead of closure, we are left...
Relationships: “Why are you so full of Sh!t?”
Reflections from an airport… I’m here an hour and a half early for my flight back to NY, so I’m sitting here at my gate watching all the people walk by. It’s amazing the things you can pick up by people watching. You can almost feel the stress on some while you can’t...
