New Year, Big Goals
I’m a little late to the blogging world but in case you haven’t heard, the holidays have come and gone. I’m not going to repeat what everyone else has said about how they slowed down for the holidays and enjoyed special moments with their kids, because we did and it was wonderful and the older…

Triggers
When I went through my divorce 6 (6!) years ago, I fully dealt with it. I can say that I look back now and I just don’t know that person. I don’t know that wife, that person who signed divorce papers, the person that cried a lot of tears and went through a lot of…
