Relationships are a lot like icy road conditions. You go out and take your chance and you hope for the best. I met a woman who was on her third marriage. I couldn’t imagine being married that many times. I know that it happens. But when I listened to her story I started to wonder…
Picture It
One of the hardest parts about liking someone isn’t the feelings that you have for the person, but rather not knowing how to tell them. A good friend of mine decided that it was time to tell the truth, meaning, tell that one person how she felt about him. The only problem is that now…
New Years and the Heart
We start a new year with a lot of hope for fresh starts and needed changes. It could be anything, a new job, a new home, even the chance to find happiness with that one crush that you have had for a long time. A new year is supposed to be the chance for positives…
Friends Are Chosen Family
With the holidays almost over, for many of us, we’ve dealt with some of the ups and downs of seeing family. Perhaps speaking to family that you haven’t seen in a few months or maybe even over the past year. No matter how ever long that it has been, we find that it’s the holidays…
Under the Mistletoe
From November through January, there is a whirlwind of holidays that seem to come fast. Holiday stress of seeing family that you haven’t seen all year, on top of the yearly time shopping for gifts, it feels like in a blink of an eye we’re back into February. Where did it all go? If you…

It’s truly interesting to hear the stories that people tell me as to how they met the other person. Some people have known their significant other since childhood. While others have…
You Don’t Bring Me Flowers…Anymore
In many relationships there is a time when you have to say good-bye. Unless a couple plans on getting married, there comes a point where two people will go their separate ways. There is no such thing as a mutual break up, either one person becomes the heart breaker and the other spends days, maybe…
The Single Gene
From the time that many of my friends dreamed of having their wedding day, from the type of dress that they would wear to who they would marry; it all seemed to be planned. Over the years, some of my friends have gotten married and had children. Very few, actually, are still single. I often…
A Lifetime of Laughter
When we choose our relationships, I have to ask myself what it is that I’m exactly looking for in a person. There are many sayings to relationships, ‘opposites attract’ or ‘birds of a feather flock together.’ We could spend countless hours thinking up the perfect saying, but what about thinking up who is right for…
