[I wrote this article the old-fashioned way, with pen and paper, as I sat in a courtroom during a final divorce trial for a client last week. I'd worked on her case for two years, and I got to know her very well during that time.]

Get Naked and Fall In Love This Valentine’s Day
Recently I've heard several people comment that Valentine's Day is the "Hallmark Holiday," meaning that it was made up by a greeting card company. So I did some digging around, and I learned that there actually is quite a history to Valentine's Day. Regardless of whether Valentine's Day is based on fact or fiction, it ...
Newly Single & Sensational During the Holidays

Rebounding After Divorce
Rebound. Dictionary.com defines rebound when used as a verb as: - to bound or spring back from force of impact and - to recover, as from ill health or discouragement.

Courage In Post-Divorce Life
I've been absent for a while. But my self-imposed sabbatical is ending. So where have I been?

Are You Living On Purpose or On Auto Pilot?
I was in Los Angeles last weekend and went to the beach on Saturday. I grew up in L.A. and have driven to the beach more times than I can count. Well, last Saturday morning I wasn't paying attention to where I was and ...
My Independence Day
One year ago today my divorce was final. I thought it was ironic that it was the first work day after the July 4th holiday. I couldn’t wait to get a certified copy of my divorce decree so I could go change my name on my driver’s license, credit cards, and everything else! Because after ...
