I think I have shared the following sentiment before, but even if I have it bears repeating. You cannot control other people’s behavior, but you can control how you respond to their behavior. Perhaps of equal import but perhaps more challenging to accept, it doesn’t really matter why people do the things they do. I… Continue reading Just Give Me a Reason…or Not…

I was thinking about what to write this week and it occurred to me that after Red Flags Parts I and II, there actually exists a Part III. Well I suppose there are as many parts as I wish, depending on how I want to approach the topic. What I really mean is that there… Continue reading The Aftermath (Red Flags Part III)

I want to start this post with an honest and difficult statement: some of the better-looking men I dated were pretty terrible humans. I want to clarify that statement by explaining that I am not at all suggesting that good-looking people are not good people. Furthermore, I didn’t take a survey or gather a consensus.… Continue reading Attraction: Surrealism at its Finest

Happy New Year! I have always found resolutions to be a fascinating topic. This is truly for a variety of reasons; beginning with the connection between the self and the expectations of one’s self. Out of sheer curiosity, I did some research on the origin of the resolution. There was a plethora of information available,… Continue reading New Year, New Me?

I’ve known for a few weeks that I wanted to tackle the topic of the holidays before they were immediately upon us. Well, I might have missed the boat a little, but there is still theoverwhelming holiday hangover (emotional, of course), New Year’s Eve, and then V-Day arrives shortly thereafter. I can wax poetically about… Continue reading Have a Happier Holiday

I have often heard people say they were meant to be born in a different era. They feel drawn to the music of the 1950s or the preferred attire in the 1970s. While I am intrigued by the overall decorum during other points in history, I don’t feel singularly connected to any particular decade. I do… Continue reading Swiper, Don’t Swipe.

I honestly have so many topics that I want to tackle that I had a difficult time choosing where to start. I want to describe how to respond to or deal with lying, I want to expand upon red flags a bit more, and then there’s the holiday season (just to name a few). However,… Continue reading The Unfriendliest of Ghosts

I was inspired to write this post because of a book I just finished. Here is a fun little personal fact: I love a good young adult book. I do. For so many reasons. Shame on you if you just flinched, rolled your eyes, or laughed. You are missing out on some really good literature.… Continue reading A World Class Primer

I was away for the holiday weekend and decided to curl up on a cozy window seat with a magazine and a good cup of coffee. Specifically, I was reading an article in Vogue and was struck by the following quote by Chrissy Teigen (if you don’t know who she is…Google, please): “I feel like… Continue reading Just Bein’ Me.

I love coming out of the gate with a hard truth. It just feels refreshing and really, somewhat ironic in a post with the above title. So here goes: I have lied. I do lie. I will lie. I have lied about super big things and super small things. I am not here to justify… Continue reading Liar, Liar
