Why Are You Still Single?
Why Are You Still Single Jo"? I can still remember cringing at being asked that question by well meaning friends and family members and my response really depended on my hormones and how I felt about being single at the time. For the most part, those that know and love us, ask from good intentions. They think we are just awesome and can’t understand why we are still single but it can still feel as if we are being told there must be something wrong with us.

Living in the Present
Living in the Present God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr During a recent workshop, I noticed how my group seemed disengaged from the discussion on personal boundaries. At first I was tempted to question my facilitation skills but I decided to confront what was going on in the moment with them.

My Knight in Shining Armour
The idea of a Knight coming to save the damsel in distress might make a great movie but as one woman put it, in reality every Knight comes with a horse and a stable to clean out! I remember a time when I lived as if I was waiting to be rescued. I felt that I needed someone in my life in order to be happy and I would not attempt to do anything on my own because it seemed boring without a man.r

Man or God's Image?
Some years ago, I had a painful experience of being told in not very nice terms that it was easy for me to be walked all over. This was an answer to a questio I had put to my ex as to why he treated me the way that he did. Over the years, I was haunted by his words. I would remember them with shock and pain that he would say such a thing to me and with a look of glee on his face about it too.
