Being a Florida native, I've been through hurricanes for almost 50 years, ranging from category one storms to category fives. I can tell you from experience that the fives are storms to take very seriously, but the ones are usually nothing more than a powerful rain shower.

It’s the echo that still kills me.
Even two years into divorce, it continues to jump me like one of those hockey mask-wearing psycho killers every time I walk in the door of my apartment. And it cuts right into my heart, reminding me how barren my life is now. »more»

I’m amazed at the number of accomplished, assertive, confident midlife women who confide in me a problem with the their dating relationship. The common sense solution is to talk to their guy about it.

The conventional wisdom that the best way to cope after a traumatic or disturbing event is to talk about it may be wrong--at least for some people.

There are basically three types of friends in this world. Let’s say you fall of a bridge into the raging river. The first type of friend would jump right in to save you. The second type would look around for rope or anything else that could be used to pull you to safety. And the third type….oh, the third type….they will rush right out and sign you up for swimming lessons. »more»

What the heck is the Dorothy Syndrome and what does it have to do with mid-life crisis? Well, it has everything to do with MLC! The Dorothy Syndrome is a phrase that I coined and is the premise for my upcoming book titled "The Dorothy Syndrome: Mid-life on the Yellow Brick Road".

I just joined today and had to send out a post right away! I am so relieved that there is a community on the internet to help support "midlife crisis." I found this site while "googling" those two words and joined right away, no questions asked.
I wanted to share a very good article that I found called: What is a Midlife Crisis? by Cathy Meyer »more»
