I have decided that by the end of this year I am going to buy myself a small, two seater,  convertible red sports car. I have many logical reasons for this decision.

I have three gorgeous grandchildren: A girl who is 5, and two boys, 4, and not quite 3. They are the children of my oldest daughter. Because of the nearly constant drama that still goes on between her and her ex-husband, I don’t get to spend nearly as much time with them as I would [...]

Impending divorce and 2 long-term (18 and 7 years) marriages that didn’t work have caused me to take a long hard look at how I keep getting into these things. Because I’m 50, not 15, I am looking a lot at myself and my part in the relationships, in hopes of not repeating the same [...]

I have been involved in several conversations lately about whether or not a couple, whether married or in an otherwise committed relationship, should have separate or [...]

I am flipping through some old journals again today and found a list I made with the title, “Money is no object and time is not a factor”. It is two pages of things I wanted to be, do, or have – a bucket list. Things I wanted to accomplish before I kick the bucket. [...]
