  • Relationships with Expiration Dates

    My romantic relationships have always come with expiration dates. I can’t always clearly read the date or know the circumstances, but each will perish. This isn’t the healthiest way to start a relationship, searching closely for a date stamp. There will be new beginnings and I should expect some endings, but when the right man comes my…

  • Lucky Me

    The last four years of my life have been a series of ups and downs: divorce, heartbreak, financial uncertainty, love, financial certainty, and more.

It’s a piece on what questions to ask a guy before you get in too deep emotionally. I also wrote all about storybook…
