What to Do When He Suddenly Disappeared

You're in a relationship with the perfect guy, the one you've been waiting your whole life for, when suddenly he disappears from your life never to be heard from again. A woman is looking at her iphone wondering why he disappeared.

Almost all of us have been there before at least once in our lives.  The perfect guy, the one you've been waiting your whole life for, suddenly disappears, never to be heard from again. No call, no text, not even a goodbye note. There you are, left all alone, wondering what happened, where’d he go, what [...]

You Don't Need to Be Chosen

You don't need to be chosen. You don't need to be picked by a guy to have worth. A man is picking a flower out of field.

I see you everywhere I go. All around me, you're everywhere. So much insecurity. So many of you deferring to these guys. Hanging on to them so tightly, literally. Like you need them. You believe you do. It’s the flawed belief system that’s in so many of you. You're not flawed; it's just the system [...]

Accepting What Is

Beautiful woman sitting near the ocean learning to let go and let it all be.

As I mentioned in the last post, we've recently relocated across the country, which is why I haven't posted in a while. While we were packing our things for our cross-country trek I looked through my bookcase for a few books to read on the way, and I came across a true gem that I [...]

Space For Something New

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

I love buttercups, so when I saw this one growing up through a crack in our back patio, I just had to take a photo of it. It absolutely amazes me that something so beautiful can grow, completely on it's own, in such  difficult circumstances. All it needed was the opportunity. It reminded me of [...]

Don’t Ever Let Your Heart Get Hardened

Don't let your heart get hardened - image of heart wrapped in steel

Have you ever had a song, one that you haven’t heard in years, just start playing in your head?  It happened to me the other day, and I realized I was actually singing it softly to myself. It was a song that used to be one of my favorites back in my single days, and [...]

Everything Changes

Everything Changes - Springtime Cherry Blossoms

I just revisited my hometown for the first time in over seven years.  I haven’t been back since before my children were born, but the memories that came up for me brought it all back as if I had just been there yesterday. The sights, the sounds, the scents, the feelings, the emotions.  The memories [...]

Do you really know the REAL YOU?  If someone asked you to describe the real you, would you even know what to tell them?  About who you really are?  What you’re really capable of?  Do you have any idea how amazing, how unique, how special, how incredible you really are?  I didn’t think so.  Because [...]
