Submitted by Divorce Coach Shelley Stile
Here’s a fascinating take on divorce that I find more true than not: We choose our spouses, usually subconsciously, as a means to healing old emotional wounds we have been carrying around our entire life.
Our divorce then becomes the wakeup call to clean up that mental baggage we have [...]

Defining Personal and Professional Goads
When it comes to resetting professional goals following divorce, we may not want to rock the boat because we’re shaken by the personal changes we’ve been through. But the dynamics of money, logistics, location, kids, and schools may require a careful look at work, and how it [...]

My girlfriend’s dating life is VERY busy. And I salute her for that. Almost two years out of an emotionally abusive marriage, we concurred that her rushing into a committed relationship would be dangerous: she’d probably end up with a bully again and/or losing herself in another man instead of exploring and discovering her own true colors.
The other day, however, as [...]
Coming Out of The Shadows
Submitted by: Maya
I KNOW that it happens to more of us than we’d think. It happens when children are nice and well behaved so they can fade into the shadows. It happens when children are naughty and don’t want to be caught ~ but doesn’t usually last too long… It happens to girls who want [...]

All last night my vulnerable post left me lying awake. Unusual for me… Firstly to lie awake ~ secondly to show my vulnerability… I fake it so well most of the time that when I feel weak, I feel like I’m walking in someone else’s moccasins. Only I know that these same feelings [...]

More than a decade of self~enforced celibacy. From the start it was because I was reluctant to allow a man into my most private spaces. My love is not up for grabs and I have a tendency to want to love when I make love. I did not want to risk the possibility [...]

I was interviewed for a radio show today, by Kacey on WHUD.com in the Hudson Valley. I’ll post the interview when it’s available. Anyway, Kacey asked me about dating because I’d been very upbeat about it in my book. I had to admit the truth, I’ve stopped dating. I’m 66 and I feel [...]
You Can’t go Home Again

Mama ‘encouraged’ me to go away to college. Concerned that her easy-going girl would marry the boy next door, have lots of babies and move down the street, she took me on a tour of colleges that would satisfy my straight B grades and not demand too much of her altruistic middle child. She wanted [...]
Faith Within – Getting to Know Maya
I am a daughter of the majestic Chesapeake Bay. I drank my fill of her and when I graduated from high school, I walked away. I did a lot of traveling and living in vans, tents and sailboats all around the Americas. Forrest Gump and I share an uncanny ability to be in the right [...]
