The evening I turned 38 a few months ago, I began making a list of things I wanted to accomplish.

I just turned 38 a few weeks ago, and though it may be cliche, time seems to be racing by. It seemed like it was just yesterday that the ball dropped in Times Square for New Year’s Eve 2001, and now we just commemorated the 14th anniversary of 9/11. I’ll be 40-years-old in a few… Read More
No, it’s not your locks. If only it were that easy. The most important thing that you must change after your divorce is your attitude. Before you roll your eyes and click back to Facebook, hear me out, because this might be the most important thing you hear post-divorce. At least, it was for me.… Read More
