He Was Never Really There

We forget just how miserable we were far too much of the time. We forget how many of our own needs weren't being met. We forget all the waiting. We forget all the uncertainty. We forget all the times we felt like anything would have been better than what we were living. A beautiful woman is sad thinking about her recently ended relationship.

It's always hard to let go of a dream. The dream of all the potential the relationship showed, the dream of all that could have been. We tend to have such a selective memory when we finally let him go or he lets us go. Either way, it's the same. We remember all the wonderful [...]

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.

Is Your Past Getting in the Way of Your Future?

We think we need to be perfect, or at least somewhere close. We have so little grace for ourselves, for what we’ve been through, where we’ve come from. A beautiful woman is looking out from behind a chain link fence, symbolic of her own beliefs that are keeping her from having the relationship she wants.

I received an email the other day that really got to me. It was from a reader who felt that her past behavior with men had precluded her from having a future with a good man. My heart went out to her. It brought back to me all those times I, too, questioned my own [...]

Once Upon a Time There Was a Little Girl

Once upon a time there was a little girl who believed she could do anything (Photo of little girl jumping with joy)

Once upon a time you were a little girl who knew her worth couldn’t be measured; a little girl who believed in herself and her dreams, which were big dreams, and that little girl knew she could do anything and that her dreams would come true. Until they came along and told you that you [...]
