The Relief of Prince Charming
When I was 12, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I knew instinctively what I wanted: Prince Charming on his white steed whisking me away. This response always got a laugh. Now when I think of my reply, as a grownup, I instinctively get what I didn’t understand then. I …
Letting Go of Scraps
I’m letting go of scraps. Which is also to say that I’m letting go of making do. When I don’t believe that I can receive what I want, then I make do with whatever little bit is offered — even if that little bit is not what makes my heart sing. For me relationship is …
Touched
I sit on the sofa’s edge, rigid, hands on knees, feeling lost to myself. He sits beside me, carefully reaching out his left hand and resting it gently on my shoulder. I flinch, the touch breaking my resolve to feel nothing. Though I do feel myself still braced, defending, holding back. Not allowing myself to …
Choose You
You can’t choose me until you choose you. That’s what stands before you: you. And choice. To be at choice with me requires that you choose you.

Learning Unconditional Love
Learning Unconditional Love isn’t a one way street — it begins with you and your ability to love you! I don’t think I have ever experienced unconditional love. That’s not to say that my parents and grandparents didn’t love me. They did despite my flaws and flaunts and disrespect. It is from them I know …
This Love Thing: A Conclusion
The following is the conclusion of this story: This Love Thing In the months after my divorce, my heart felt closed and bruised. I wondered if I would ever be able to feel love or express love again. I wondered about my capacity for vulnerability. I wondered and I worried. Over the months and years …
This Love Thing
In my twenties, I thought I had this love thing understood. However, three years ago, after divorce, I started dating for the first time in 25 years and got that I had misunderstood. Then, two years ago after an intense personal learning period brought on by the dating, I again thought I had this meet-the-love-of-my-life …
My Heart Shift of Loneliness
There are moments when the feeling of being alone reaches down into the tail end of my spine with a soreness of too much exertion. I take a long, slow, deep breath to calm my BEing. But before I can respond the sensation hits my heart and single tears trace paths down my cheeks. In …
Brick Wall
Brick Wall is a bit of rant — if I’m honest. I try to be honest with myself and sometimes I gotta say it out loud to make it real. I feel like I keep hitting my head on a brick wall. I show up. I smile, I lean in. I ask questions. I listen. …

While it is true that this experience is often between lovers, at a deeper level the connection is one …

When Men Are Pigs
When men are pigs, what choice do women have? There are many choices including oinking back. For me, I know that often my choice has been to let go of myself so that I can keep some semblance of a man/pig in my life and doing so without acknowledging or confronting the lousy choice I just made for me.
