…and I’ll turn right back around. So goes the Tracy Chapman song. She’s been jilted, maybe cheated on, walked on, treated badly by her lover. We don’t know exactly what happened, but we do know that she’s tired of going through the same motions of feeling loved, then pushed aside. She wants a reason to [...]

Remind yourself what you deserve
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged family, friends, relationships, reminders, respect, self on January 31, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
When we are feeling rejected by someone or something, it’s easy to get down on ourselves and come up with all the reasons why it happened to us. It’s easy to try to rationalize someone else’s actions or decisions or find ways to defend them, even if they hurt us. It’s also common for us [...]
Letting go
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged learning, letting go, life, life story, relationships, themes on February 3, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only person who seems to have weeks with recurring themes — a phrase, issue, or conversation that comes up again and again, sending you a message (and for me, a blog post idea). But I talked about it with my friend tonight, and she has the same experiences…feeling like [...]
A great big world out there…for me
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged breakups, changes, life, relationships, single on August 6, 2010 | 1 Comment »
It’s been one month since I made a life-altering decision — to end my 4-year relationship with my boyfriend. Those of you who read this know that I’m pretty transparent about my life, but in this instance, I want to keep things relatively brief as it pertains to “what happened.” Bottom line: we were at [...]
Want something? Ask for it!

There are hundreds of books and audio tapes and sermons and suggestions out there on how to get what you really want…how to succeed in business…how to get the love you want, etc. Pretty much anything you want or need, there is something out there for you on how to get there. Except maybe more [...]
Engaging with your supporters
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged community, dialogue, family, friends, nonprofit, relationships, supporters on June 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
In my job, we’re always thinking about how to serve our constituents, our supporters, our donors, our followers, and fans, partners, and champions. That means we frequently “engage with our supporters” which means wonky non-profit type stuff like “creating a dialogue,” “providing a platform for community-building,” “raising awareness,” and “reporting back.” We tell our people [...]
This is a test
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged fears, future, life, plans, relationships, tests on May 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Just when you think you have it all figured out, it hits you upside the head: It’s not just my boyfriend that’s worried about the future – it’s me, too. Me, who I thought was ready for the next big thing, ready to say all my fears were behind me, ready to move forward. And [...]
Memories…of the way we were…
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged college, friends, memories, relationships on February 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yeah, it’s cheesy. And if you’re a guy reading this, you’re probably like, “Seriously?” The girls know though. Anyway, this isn’t about Robert Redford or a romance that went wrong. This weekend there were two events that dregged up memories, and so it’s just interesting to look back sometimes and think about how things have [...]
Questions
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged life, questions, relationships on February 15, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Left unasked, finding out the answers too late can cause problems. But sometimes, asking them hurts more. Asking the right questions of people you care about can lead to discussing elephants in the room that need to be cleared out. But then there’s the questions that may be wrong, or if not wrong, they make [...]
Helping others helps yourself
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged friends, help, life, problems, relationships, self-help on February 8, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I’ve been realizing lately how much this is true. Lately it’s been all about admitting things and then doing something about it, instead of just continuing to sit there and whine or cry or be frustrated. Whether it’s that you can’t lose the weight, you can’t get past some emotional baggage, or you aren’t doing [...]
