Unmarried Mothers; It's Immaculate

I came across an article, “An Unmarried Woman,” in a borrowed Elle Magazine by Rebecca Traister. Evidently, women have turned their noses up at marriage. At least according to the conservative right. The column is all about how women are “choosing not to get married.” You know, because we suddenly hate men. They’ve become superfluous. (The […]

Change My Life: I Have Been Suicidal, Today I'm Not

Like many, many people I have been suicidal. As a teenager, but most severely with post partum depression after Ainsley was born. Though last year was pretty rough. Maybe the best way to say it is that every time I’m experiencing it is the worst time because it’s happening to me right then. But, today […]

Obama v. Romney & Voter Apathy (Mine)

I got last minute tickets to see Obama at Colorado State University. Which was an awesome stroke of luck. I saw a sitting president. Not only a sitting president, but Barack Obama, the first black president. Awesome. Great. He was speaking to a college crowd, so he addressed all these awesome things like how he stopped a […]

Life Coach: Forget Fair! Try Happy!

I remember when my dad would say, Who ever told you life was going to be fair? and it would piss. me. off. It’s not fair!  Fair. Life should be fair. Right? My children now say/whine/scream, It’s not fair!  And I tell them, when are you going to learn that I don’t care about fair? At All. […]

Life Coaching: The Year of No Extra-Curriculars

We have taken the year off from extra-curricular activities. Ainsley did tutor a second-grader before school every morning but that was it. No soccer. No dance class. No after-school play. No summer camp. No after-school program. No vacation Bible school. No school choir. Nothing. It’s been Awesome! Our family is in a period of significant transition […]

Change My Life: Go Slow

First a whisper, a comment from someone, an article that catches your eye. Next a pebble, pay attention. Along comes a stone, it smarts. A brick or two, that shakes you a little. Make a vow, ignore it, justify. When the whole damn wall comes crashing down on you, attention is forced. I rush. I […]

Emotional Trauma Prediction

Seek and ye shall find. Matthew 7:7 Since we’re on the topic of emotional habits that backfire (“Just” a Word, 50 Shades of Being Treated Like Shit is Hot, Body Forgiveness)  I’ve got another one that I have been guilty of and likely many of you are too. Emotional Trauma Prediction This is how the […]

Creating a Vision Board: “Just” a Word

I am working on consciously choosing my thoughts in order to fully participate in co-creating (God being the original and constant creator) my experience on this planet. One hindrance to creating what I want lies in the word “just.” It’s a pattern in my speech and thought that I have noticed is prevalent. Ask and you […]

Law of Attraction & Relationships: 50 Shades of Being Treated Like Shit is Hot (Grey)

So I bought Fifty Shades of Grey, the chick porn series that is flying off the shelves. Professional, strong women are getting all hot and bothered by hideously lazy and trite writing and messages even worse than Twilight. I read a chapter or two, mainly because I was curious about whether I could still get horny. Synopsis: […]

Body Forgiveness

So you know, I’m getting a divorce and my husband and I were living in the same house for four months during this proceeding, because basically he cut me off financially and we had not decided who would keep the house. He also cut me off my gym membership, the gym being a place I […]

My Hero (pssst…It’s Me!)

             MY HERO               BY: AINSLEY   One of the people I admire is my mom.  First, one reason she is my hero is she is brave. She is brave because she likes to do dare-devil things. One thing she did that was scary […]
