So much of life is spent trying to find yourself- right?!   Which, if you think about it, actually raises the idea that perhaps there is more than one you?!  Otherwise, who in the world is doing the looking?! Get the complexity here?!   Sometimes, even though we are still looking for ourselves –…

  They say life imitates art!  And a good life imitates- “The Art of Marriage”. This book is a fantastic read!   These days I doubt any one would get into a car without Waze or Google maps. I’d say you are making the same mistake getting into, or staying in, a marriage without the…
