Written in 2012 I Always Wanted To Meet Someone Famous. Too Bad It Had To Be Niccolo Machiavelli There you have it: a look into the mindset of the kind of person who suddenly abandons a long term marriage without notice. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you The Cliff Notes on your ex’s motivation. Look no further. Waste no more time and energy. It’s not any more complicated than that. Sorry. There’s no hidden psychological meaning to your ex’s leaving you. It wasn’t unresolved childhood psychological abuse that “drove” him/her to do what they did. They did what they did because THEY WANTED T ..read more

Dealing With Pain That No Drugs Would Touch

Hey, It’s Time To Get Up For the first couple of years I was at my emotional wreck. My nervous system throbbed like a sore thumb that had been hit by a hammer. I got to the point that I couldn’t bear to live any longer—not because I wanted to kill myself, mind you—but because it was so disappointing wake up each day and know there was no reason to get out of bed. I had no purpose. Everything and everyone in my life was essentially gone. I so wanted answers to the plethora of questions that plagued me—yet I couldn’t bear any more ‘comfort’ from my so-called friends. I was, as the scripture say ..read more

The Subjectivity Of Physical Attractivity

Written in 2017 Like Solomon Said, It’s All Vanity Do a casual internet search. It won’t take you long to learn that physical attractiveness is rarely the primary factor motivating an affair. Why is it that we automatically ‘assume’ that a woman/man who breaks up someone else’s marriage must either some blonde bombshell or a hunky Adonis with a six-pack? It’s rarely the case.  Nope, it’s not looks most of the time. Rather, it’s more about how the affair partner makes the cheater feel about himself/herself that provides the bolus of narcissistic dope that helps them implode their marriages, rel ..read more

Is It Just Me, Or Do You Smell Something Too?

Wait … Let Me Make Sure That I Understand After my husband left, I was reeling from the shock of his callousness. One day, he called to let me know that he was leaving the country with ‘her’. I asked one final question, “So I just need to know. Did the ’till death do us part’ vow mean anything at all to you?” I was NOT prepared for his response. It threw me for a loop! He began his response with a loud condescending sound effect and said: “Pfffft!!”… That was 30 years ago!” Mystery Solved Well, there you have it friends. Now I knew! That was what I’d been smelling in the refrigerator but could ..read more

My Sense Of Humor Earns Me Countless Awkward Glances

Written in 2014 My Not So Still Small Voice Embedded in my DNA has always been a robust humor gene that manifests itself as a precocious female humor imp. As a fan of Erma Bombeck, the late great humorist, I’ve dubbed this part of me ‘My Inner-Erma’. When I was still working in healthcare administration, Erma was always right there with me with her lapel mic paired to my brain’s frequency. Feeling so much at home, she interjected her humorous commentary on the daily goings on a constant basis. There were times when she was more active than others. Certain situations were like wake words to her ..read more

About Me

Hello You’d probably pass me on the street and never notice me. I’m just some early retiree—a getting-grey grandma and sometime humor essayist. I hadn’t planned on retiring early, but that unexpected nuclear explosion that occurred in my living room and the chain of circumstances that occurred afterward, made that my only option. You see, on Valentine’s Day 2011 my husband of 29 years ghosted me out of the blue. I have to say that surviving the total annihilation of one’s life is a stone cold trip any way you look at it. Now don’t jump to conclusions and think I’m one of those Debbie Downers ..read more

Pop Pychology 101: Get Your Thoughts On Paper The first thing the psych-types and lay counselors advise you to do when you’re going through something emotionally devastating and hard to process is to ‘write’. As one might expect after experiencing a cataclysmic shock, my initial writing consisted of daily journaling, cataloguing my thoughts and feelings during this intense period of navel gazing. As such, the tone of my writing voice was deep, dark, and somber. This phase lasted quite a while, seeing as I cried for what seemed an eternity. It was during that phase that I lost all will to live ..read more

Written in 2015 Hey, Happy Valentine’s Day! Every February, I am reminded of how some of us can happily live our lives for decades—totally unaware that things may not be as they seem! That is, until Life sneaks up behind us, taps us on the shoulder, and when we turn around—smacks us square in the face with a reality two-by-four! I speak from personal experience. You see, my two-by-four-moment happened to coincide with Valentine’s Day, a now infamous day when [cough, cough] the love of my life—code named Casper The Unholy Ghost—‘ghosted’ our long term marriage. With the unexpected announcem ..read more
