Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Is Love An Illusion

Perhaps because I have only been in love once I should not have an opinion about love.  Still I see love so many times as some illusion, some stuff people make up, even in bad situations.  We often times make love into something that fits in our own imagination as love and if it is not really love we make it seem like it it by lying about it and fantasizing about what it is not.  Love is often an illusion and for some so elusive that it is a serious problem. The woman whose husband bullies her and says sarcastic things about her wants to believe that her husband loves her and that he is just not well, poor thing.  She makes excuses for him and for his bad behavior.  There are many people in what is an illusion of a partnership when in fact they are not in one.  On the contrary they are in peril.  They believe they will somehow resolve the issues that will always be present in their relationship and the truth is that it is not going to get any better....

Victim or Survivor

Victim or Survivor: There will eventually be a time where we must each decide if we are a victim or we are a survivor.  I think it best to be a survivor, even if we have once been a victim and that going around retelling our story of victimization is likely not in our best interest.  There are legitimate victims, both adults and children who have been abused and hurt both emotionally and physically.  This is not about questioning if one has been a victim or not but rather a conversation around victim versus survivor and whether we want to maintain a life in a place of victim.  Let's begin by addressing the idea of being a victim.  What is that like? When we are in the position of victim we are powerless and unhappy.  Although there will be times when others will feel badly for us and even empathize with us, in the long run being in victim mode will only hold us back, keeping us inside that restrictive dome.  Victim status co...
