Welcome to My Blog
“Listening to your heart’s desires isn’t some new concept… it’s not my idea… it’s in centuries old teachings. My friends on this site have modernized and mastered it. They’re my inspiration. My journey, has been about aligning my life and being open to receive what’s in my heart. It needs to be a daily practice for dreams, wants, and hopes to come to pass. That’s alignment. ” - Tanya Bittner
Stop Forcing It
If it feels like you're forcing it - you probably are and, should probably stop. Whether it's trying (so hard) to convince someone to finally acknowledge your skills and talent or pushing too hard for love and affection from someone you're in a one-sided relationship...
What’s In Your Heart?
Specifically, what desires are in that beautiful heart of yours today? And now, what thoughts are swirling around in your mind? Do your heart and mind align or are you having an internal conflict with yourself? Heart says, "I want this", stubborn mind says, "You'll...
Genuine Connections
The concept of authenticity is thrown around a lot. There's this universal idea or notion that you're living "authentically" if you're being honest with yourself. "To thine own self be true." Thank you Shakespeare. I struggle with this MeNtAl impression of the...

Divorce: Two homes are better than one
It's my belief that kids of divorce should live an equal amount of time with both parents. I feel it's important to keep everyone as connected as possible. It's been my experience the courts generally agree with this too, unless there are physical dangers for the...
A Mother’s Legacy
Mothers' Day has been bittersweet for almost nine years now. My mom suffered a massive stroke December 18, 2005. She died one day later; six days before Christmas. I often describe events and milestones from my past as taking place "before...
Life After Divorce
Whether you were the one who initiated the D word or your ex-spouse, inevitably: Life. Goes. On. More often than not, it's happier too. If you are newly separated, or recently served (yes, we ALL either serve - or - are served) with divorce papers, then this next...
Divorce: High-Conflict Personality
As a divorcee, I do NOT like the term "high-conflict divorce." It implies both parties have high-conflict personalities. In my experience there's been just one party who's high-conflict. Family Law attorney, and former psychotherapist, William A. Eddy, LCSW, JD...
