Holiday Stress and Divorced Parenting
'Tis the season to be thankful, in another month to be jolly, and, if you're still not convinced, a whole new year right around the corner to try again if things don't work out for you through this year's holiday season! Holiday times for children of newly divorced parents are often the toughest time of year. They often have strong emotional attachments to days gone by when Mom, Dad, their brothers and sisters and they all cheerfully ate too much turkey and sang off-key holiday carols together. Remember that your joy in being away from what became an unbearable situation for you leading to a divorce may not have registered with your children, who are still in denial and are hurt, angry, and depressed.

Relationships Are Like New Shoes
Relationships are like new shoes - they look great in the store but once you get them home they become really uncomfortable!
As a success coach, I work in many areas of life; career desire, fitness and weight management, goal clarity, emotional mastery and relationship balance. I find relationships the most interesting and yet the most complex. Everything we in life we engage in IS a relationship. There's a direct correlation as to how we react in an intimate relationship and how we respond to our friends, family, and social or work environments. With relationships the challenge is never the other person, it's your choice of that person in the relationship! And because we've all had an opportunity to engage in good and bad ones, everyone can relate to the intention of this article.

A Cure for Good-mate-itis
What is good-mate-itis? Good-mate-itis is a disease that we get when we are well-
nurtured, well-supported, and very content within our relationships. We feel little or no
challenge to make things better, and we feel it can’t get any worse. We begin to take
each other for granted. We “know” our mate will always be there, so we fall into a deep
sleep. We are on automatic. BEWARE! This is the time when love falls apart. It falls apart
when we get good-mate-itis
