Woodville Road is a quiet, 2-lane country road that changes its name as it winds through the different towns, from Jamesburg through Millstone and on to Jackson. My 380 Horsepower engine Jaguar loved to hug the curves of the road, as it growled from bend to bend. As I flew down the road I thought…

Sad and still hurting from an ending, the lesson still seems somewhat obscure. Sitting getting ready for a call, the books, in preparation, were open to the pages of empowering questions.

My first husband and I had hosted a number of parties, Super Bowl each year being the biggest ones we threw! The party itself always started at about 3pm with a pre-game spread and a lot of booze. In fact, one year we had to call our friend who owned a liquor store and who…

“Why would you treat me this way? I thought you cared about me. Everything you said to me was a lie.” Fingers moving at lightning speed on the key board firing off text after text. Words, words that weren’t nice, that were accusatory and stung were being written and sent in an onslaught of anger.…
