Disposable Men

By Chantel Johnson

So a friend and I were talking (no names) and she mentioned something to the effect of how I throw men away like garbage… which naturally made me think of an episode of Sex and The City (is this normal? lol I relate everything to that show) well anyways the episode I thought was the one Carrie ran into her ex Aiden’s ex girlfriend (crazy I know) well anyways in that show she’d read an article about her column claiming that she disposes men, like my friend claimed I do. Which further proves that I am the Carrie! but honestly I don’t feel like I dispose men although my family now don’t even bother to get names now a days. lol….but I will give myself and other women like me credit because its called STANDARDS… and I am kind of delusional when it comes to myself but I AM also aware of the fact that its not always them…. meaning sometimes it’s ME.

Take Time Out For YOU

By Amanda Bennett

Everybody needs a few minutes a day to relax and decompress. ESPECIALLY a stay at home parent. It can some times be a little difficult to make time or even remember to make time for yourself each day, but you must find a way!!! Weather it’s reading the morning paper while sipping a cup of coffee, retail therapy, a long afternoon stroll(while the kids are in school) or taking a candle lit bubble bath at the end of the night!! Being a Parent is sometimes a pretty thank less job, so it’s up to you to thank yourself.

You Are What You Think

By LaQuanta Holmes

This is to all who have yet to realize how much your thinking determines your destiny.

I truly believe that where you are mentally has everything to do with where you are in life. That in turn has everything to do with the decisions you’ve made up to this point.

These decisions may have been influenced by family and friends. Other decisions where made based on money and maybe education. Things happen throughout our lives and we make adjustments to get pass them. Sometimes those adjustments last longer than planned.

Being Pregnant Down Under

By Kristyn Levis

For those not in the know, I’ve been knocked up. But it’s okay since it’s by my husband.

This situation opens a whole new level of experience for me in Australia. Being on your own in a foreign country brings out so many issues you never thought off before.

My husband’s family doesn’t live in Sydney, and mine is obviously all the way in Cagayan de Oro. That makes us basically alone in this city down under.

Dating After Divorce: An Introduction

By Amy Mahlum

My best friend from high school and I recently reconnected. I learned that she was going through a divorce and since I had been there, I have found myself a source of support for her. Her incredible need to move on, to not be alone, to replace the old with the new inspired me to take a look at my dating life after divorce and to share how dating was for me, after not doing it for over nine years.

Redefining Myself as a Mother, Wife and Citizen

By Kristen D

I am a 32 year old new mother who is about to make a decision most women in the US are faced with. Do I go back to work or stay at home with my son or find something in between? It’s a cross road in the middle of a woman’s life that potentially shapes her future (her self, her family, her career, her lifestyle). For me, facing the decision is both liberating and paralyzing at the same time. I feel liberated by the fact that my husband and I are financially secure enough to be in a position where I am able to make this decision. I am sensitive to the fact that in today’s economy this is not a choice at all for some women. I also feel liberated because a decision to stay home with my son and be a full time mom will allow me to do almost anything I set my mind to.

A War of Women by Susan Wingate

After writing a multitude of short stories and three novels, it seems to me that women-in-conflict is a subject matter that interests me. Each of my books has two female characters central to the story’s theme and usually those two females are at odds with each other. “Bobby’s Diner,” my latest release, shows two unrelated women in conflict with a man at the center of their ire.

What Law Says You Have To Deal With In-Laws?

By Christine Butch

Let’s get serious. Just because you’re marrying The One, does that mean his family really becomes yours?

Yes, it does.

But, what if HE doesn’t even want to be a part of his family? To make matters worse, what if the In-Laws just aren’t getting the hint?

How Is It Fair…?

By Lynn Cull

Hello everyone. My name is Lynn and I am the mother of two beautiful daughters ages eight and three. My eight year old recently came to me with the desire to play softball. So, one day after school I took her up to the local park get some information on try outs. Much to my surprise there were no try outs. All she had to do was sign up. No one knew what her strengths and weaknesses were so how were they supposed to know what position to play her at? Well, she wanted to play so I signed her up.
