Some say the hardest part of life is dealing with the other humans. Unlike most cats and dogs, people behavior is often not predictable. (or sometimes too predictable and that can also be maddening!) Figuring out how to manage my feelings and judgements about people, and myself, has been a long-time mission and when I […]

How MUCH do you CRAVE That Desire?

I’m not very compliant when it comes to things I SHOULD do. Things like taking ALL of my vitamins everyday.

TEXTING – The Junk Food of Dating

Lately, I have been hearing from a ton of people that thought they had potentially “found the one,” (they were getting lots of great texts, many times a day), only to discover that the texts suddenly slowed down or stopped all together.   They truly believed they were on the verge (or were in) a […]
