This is not a “pity blog”. I’m not looking for calls or messages. I don’t want any cards or shout-outs about how “it could be worse” or “I’ve got this” because right about now, I don’t really agree. I don’t “have this” and it’s truly all relative. Oh, and by the way…I hate Google. Sorry, for those of you who …
I Refuse to Throw in the Towel
Not sure if most of you know how hard this journey has truly been for me. Social media paints such a pretty, perfect picture when the reality is that I’ve struggled.
It’s Not Easy Being Honest
Can I be real with you for a second? Releasing a book is SUPER emotional–especially when you’re as brutally honest as I am. You know I have zero shame when it comes to sharing the gritty details of what it looks like to be divorced…and why you should cherish your marriage. But it’s been a whirlwind since my new book …
Why You Should Just Stay Married.
I will help any married person stay married because it’s my new goal in life…and I’m not kidding one, little bit.
Life Must Go On
I can’t breathe. I can barely talk. I can hardly swallow…. But life must go on. Absolutely everything about being sick just sucks. When I was little, I used to “fake” sick so I could miss school or act sick so I could get out of certain things I didn’t want to do….like piano practice or lunch with my Grandma. …
In My Humble Opinion…
It’s not an easy thing to do–to peel back the curtain between what you think divorce will be like and the shitshow it really is. (Because even when you have a happy divorce, it still turns absolutely everything upside down.) This book has not been easy to write and I KNOW it won’t be easy to hear. But it’s necessary and I felt compelled to do it.
I Have Some Opinions About How to Stay Married.
I mean, if you had a book that told you all the things you should do or could do that would change your marriage (or relationship) for the BETTER, would you be brave enough to read it? Would you be ready to face the truth?
Scared Shitless
So, I have this tumor. (How’s that for an opening line to a blog post?) I have a tumor. Wow. Well, you know me! I’ve never been one for beating around the bush or sugar-coating stuff… I’m more of a “hold the bullshit” type of gal. (Wink, wink.) “It is not a tumor!” She says in her best Arnold Schwarzenegger …
Happy Birthday To Me?
So, last weekend I turned forty-six. Forty-fucking-six years old. (At forty-six I’m surprised I can even remember my age.) Honestly, last year after I turned forty-five everything went to shit. My eyes went blind, my bladder started leaking when I laughed, and my skin dried up like the Sahara Desert. For real! I couldn’t find a cream thick enough to …
It’s Okay to be Alone
You swiped right. You buzzed your butt off. You matched with the best of them. And sure, you had some great dates, met a few nice guys. You even had a couple four-month stints. But you’ve also had a bunch of the worst dates known to all mankind.
