Buyer Beware | October 5, 2011

The truth is that two people with the same diagnosis don’t necessarily warrant the same treatment, and it’s the job of your mental health professional(s) to keep abreast of, and understand, the treatment options available and to work with you to find your ‘secret formula’ for optimal health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

OK, “So where do I get one of these brilliant doctors?” you might ask. An excellent question, and the honest answer is ‘caveat emptor’, let the buyer beware. You have to do your homework on who is available in your area. However, I can tell you what kinds … Read More »

How To Dance After Divorce | February 11, 2011

Are there days when you feel you can’t make it because you have experienced the impact of divorce? Has the reality of divorce set in and you feel overwhelmed by its loss? Are there nights that the pain is so deep that if you could, you would reach within yourself and snatch it out?

The “D” word is sometimes a sign of failure, grief, crushed hopes and damaged dreams. Divorce somehow finds its way into the lives of many without want or provocation. The reality of the effects of divorce can stop an individual dead in their tracks, preventing forward movement … Read More »

Five Things To Look For In Your Date’s Face! | January 21, 2011

By Jean Haner

Thirty years ago, I married into a Chinese family.  But it wasn’t until a few years after the wedding that I discovered how truly tolerant my mother-in-law really was – because I didn’t have “moneybags” in my face I wasn’t a lucky match for her son!

We are in an era where if we choose one thing, we are afraid all other options might disappear. Get married, and you’ll never be intimate with anyone ever again. Have a baby, and lose out on your dreams. Take the corporate job with the big check, and lose a little bit of your soul. Get a killer body, but give up every single thing you love … Read More »

Be Open to Being Open! | January 7, 2011

There are many definitions for the term “open.” Ones I particularly like include: not fastened or sealed; not buttoned or fastened; free from obstruction; unlocked; not constipated; not clenched into a fist. It’s a word that rules us as children. We are literally open beings, living, absorbent sponges, taking in every sight, sound, smell, taste and experience. We are excitable and free, not yet bogged down by self-awareness or harsh judgment against others or ourselves.

As we grow up, we form opinions. We choose sides. We make fun of people or get made fun of. We are straight or gay. We … Read More »

Make “Health” Your Primary Habit This Year | January 3, 2011

How many of us have promised that we are going to eat better, exercise more, be nicer to our partners and do something truly worthwhile with our lives? It just so happens most of these resolutions occur around the holidays, when parties are abundant and you tend to partake in heartier foods and bad habits. By the time New Year’s rolls around, you have your list of things you are going to change, as soon as the ball drops and you can shake off your hangover.

You wake with a solid vigor, ready to … Read More »
