Friday afternoon

The cool front that brought us more rain has also given us cool mornings and absolutely gorgeous days.

I am not one who loves the summer heat, but it is hard to imagine anything more lovely than autumn in the Texas Hill Country.

It's apple season, and American football season, and Halloween is drawing near..
I hope, wherever you are, you are able to enjoy the day. .

It all seems splendid

Here is a great blog entry from Donna Gunter, Online Business Resource Queen.  It is a short article about believing in yourself and NOT paying attention to the gremlins that tell us that we can't succeed.

The "Fraud Factor"

Take care,

Divorce & Girl's Test Scores

Marriage - Good.

Divorce - Bad.

Not necessarily...

"A clean break from a bad marriage is actually better for the couple’s school-age daughters than a troubled union, a new University of Florida study finds."

University of Florida News

Do you agree with this study?  Should parents divorce when they aren't getting along, or should they stay together "for the kids?"
Leave your comment below, or email me.

I would love to know what you think.

Defining Moments

Every relationship has a moment, or many moments, that may define the couple's future.

Critical moments, handled well, can bring you both together. 

Critical moments, handled poorly, can be the beginnings of the end.

These moments might be an affair, a lie, a family member's illness or death.  Changing jobs (voluntarily or not) endings and beginnings of all sorts.

When you two coome to one of these critical times, make an effort to talk about how you feel, what you experience, what you fear.  This open communication can be the factor for that decides what will happen next.

Can everything be resolved with conversation?

Perhaps the question should be, "Can anything be resolved without it?
