A Little Hope Goes a Long Way -Tornado Dating with a Tornado Dating Man

My “Mr. Flakey” has stepped back into the picture; baby step really. We’ve had a couple of conversations in the last month or so that are so different from any conversations we have had in the past. I think this is mainly because I have realized his emotional limitations and am more aware of his …

When To Walk Away

I find myself in an uncomfortable position of hoping against hope and listening to the voice of caution echoing in my head.  I’ve written about a man, whom for whatever reason, I have this crazy innate attraction. We’ve had a few dates over the course of a few years and each time our efforts fizzle …

Gaining The Male Perspective On Divorce

I find myself in an interesting situation where some close friends are going through a divorce or are considering a divorce.  Since both of these friends are men, it provides a different perspective on my divorce.

Sometimes Our Hearts Get Stuck

I’m not very good with developing healthy relationships with men.

Breaking Up – It’s Never Fun

I broke up with my boyfriend the other week. I feel horrible for breaking up, but I know it was the right decision. He’s an amazing guy, but there are certain differences and behaviors we can’t bridge. I guess it’s more of me not being able to bridge or accept those differences. I’ve talked about …

Getting Back To The Basics

I’m trying not to get too far ahead of myself and to remember “the basics”. The basics include believing I am worthy of love and learning to trust in order to love authentically again. I often find myself going through the motions I know are expected of me. It’s an odd thing to question your …

Stuck In A Moment

You’ve got to get yourself together. You’ve got stuck in a moment, and you can’t get out of it. Don’t say that later will be better. Now you’re stuck in a moment, and you can’t get out of it. And if the night runs over, and if the day won’t last, and if your way …
