Be the Butterfly
Over the past two years, I’ve used various activities to cope with my divorce: yoga, meditation, coffee dates with friends, workshops and the OJC retreat, etc. One simple, yet effective coping mechanism has been inspirational quotes taped to my bathroom mirror. They change periodically depending on my current state of mind and emotions. The first themes were attempts to stay positive in the face of all the changes and struggles. The quotes were reminders that when things felt out of control around me, I still had control over my attitude and actions.

Rejection as a Step Forward
We can't talk about dating without mentioning the ‘R’ word: Rejection. It’s a basic fear that prevents many people from putting themselves out there. No one wants to feel rejected, unloved, or worse, unlovable. It’s easy to feel stung, or rejected, when we reach out to someone to invite a deeper connection and they do not share our desire. Sometimes it’s easier to simply protect ourselves, and not expose, what we perceive is our hearts, to the humiliation of having our advances spu ed or not embraced.

Alimony and Estimated Tax Payments
As she stood at the mailbox, Suzanne's face went pale when she saw the return address: Department of the United States Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Official Business. A chill traveled down her spine, a feeling that reminded her of the day she stood in front of the judge as he finalized her divorce. That was 18 months ago, yet it felt like yesterday. Trying not to panic, Suzanne nervously tucked the letter behind her bundle of junk mail as she walked back into the house. Her thoughts raced. What now? Am being audited? I never handled the tax returns!

Your Holiday List
Lately I’ve been reading a lot about the holidays: what to cook, how to decorate, what to buy (and what to ask for…). And gradually it dawned on me -- these articles are all about what to do for others, or what to ask others to do for you! Don’t get me wrong – I think “doing for others” is generous and noble and kind. Problem is, when you’re going through a divorce, there’s likely to be a whole lot of “doing for others”, and usually not an “Other” to do for you.

Divorce and Term Life Insurance: Avoid These Three Common Mistakes!
Most divorce agreements require that one divorced spouse, usually the one paying child support or alimony, maintain a certain amount of life insurance on themselves to protect the financial future of their ex should they die before their financial obligations terminate. But like many provisions, such as dividing retirement funds or selling the house, fulfilling the terms of the agreement happens after the divorce is already final. What if you discover that your ex can't get life insurance because of his health or that the policy has lapsed?

Are You Ready for Love Again
After a divorce or break-up of a significant relationship, you may wonder when the time is right to “get back in the game” of dating. Begin too soon and you will destine yourself to repeat the mistakes of your past. Wait too long and you may find yourself settling for the familiar (but unsatisfying) habits of solitary life. Timing is important. Usually, when a person jumps into dating soon after ending a relationship, it signals an attempt to avoid the pain of the current break-up. This is very normal, and in fact, it is often encouraged by friends and family.
