In pursuit of life, love and my authentic self.

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. [...]

Have you ever had a week when so many things happened to affect your emotions? I live by my emotions, I often do a sanity check with my logical side but at the end of the day the emotions and my heart win.
Well this was that week for me. The weird thing it [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In the last 20 hours I attended a graduation, a funeral and a wedding. Obviously my life is a mite too dramatic but it gave me an opportunity to reflect on beginnings and endings. The graduation was for my Grandson, Rowan; he graduated from daycare. The funeral was for the Mother of my son’s first [...]

I’ll just say it, my husband is 8 ½ years younger than me. I would like to be able to say that it doesn’t bother me at all, but then I would be lying. I never dated younger men in my youth.
As you know by now, I was married at 18 to someone who was 7 years older and stayed that way for almost 20 years. When I was separated I did the rounds of post marriage dating but never dated anyone younger. Frankly, because I was always the younger one in the relationship, it never occurred to me.
Marc and I met at work when we were both assigned to a special project. I thought he was wet behind the ears and told him so. I was wrong; he did a great job and continues to remind me of it 15 years later.
He had “eyes” on me much earlier than I realized…

Have you ever been so tired that you would be quite content to just sit down and have a good cry but the tears don’t come. For those of you who’ve had children, do you remember when your toddler was so tired, there was nothing else to be done but put him to bed, let him [...]

Last week I told you I was coming back as a flake and after this post I’m sure some of you will be convinced I am already there but I’m going to take the risk because if you remember the bi-line “in pursuit of my authentic self” Mrs. Thompson has been part of my journey.
If [...]

Every week I think about what I want to write on Sunday mornings which is when I write my post for the week. This morning as I straightened the picture of my Sister on the wall, I decided it was the right time to write about being an orphan.
When I tell people I’m [...]
