As I complete my Christmas list, I wanted to share with you some thoughts on how to cope if you are the conductor of your family’s orchestra (code name for Mother).  With only 14 days before Christmas, many of you have not completed your shopping, baking, volunteering or whatever else is part of your holiday [...]

Lessons Learned

by The Kay Way on November 17, 2009

in Life Lessons, My Life, Uncategorized

To get to a certain age as I have, I’ve had many many teachers.  It is time to acknowledge their contribution to who I am.  We are guided by many hands and hearts along the way.   We can learn by both positive and negative experiences.  What to do and what not to do.
From my Mum [...]

I thought long and hard on whether to write this blog.  I came to the conclusion that if Katie Couric can have her colonoscopy filmed for prime time television, that’s good enough for me.  She had her test filmed to bring attention to this life saving test that no one, especially me wanted to take.  [...]

“First I was dying to finish high school and start college.  And then I was dying to finish college and start working.  Then I was dying to get married and have children.  And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough for me to [...]

No Longer Controlled By Fear

by The Kay Way on October 11, 2009

in Life Lessons, My Life, Uncategorized

I’ll start the week with my own comment since no one commented on last week’s blog - “Counseling - Could You Use Some Help?“.  I mean NO ONE.  I think asking for help is a growth experience and even though no one commented on it, I hope you read it and stored it away for [...]

My inspiration for my weekly blog topic can come from anywhere and I do mean anywhere.  This week I was driving back from the store past the office of the Psychotherapist I went to see last year.  Since you already know almost all the intimate details of my life, why stop now!  I do still [...]

Take Time to be Alone

by The Kay Way on September 27, 2009

in Life Lessons, My Life, Uncategorized

When I got divorced I had to be with people especially on Friday and Saturday nights.  I was already feeling like a loser so not having something to do on the weekend confirmed this belief.  I had joint custody with my ex-husband so I had the boys one week out of two.  Since they were [...]

Criticism Challenge

by The Kay Way on September 13, 2009

in Life Lessons, Uncategorized

I have become disturbingly aware that we spend an inordinate amount of time criticizing something or someone or for that matter yourselves.

Go Get Happy … Please

in Life Lessons, Uncategorized

I have a dear friend whom I love with all my heart.  Last year was not a good year.  He broke up with his long time girlfriend (thank God), his business he was running was not flourishing due to the economy and the apartment building he lived in didn’t even have heat at one point [...]
