    Dena November 30, 2013

    I started this blog in the summer of 2009 as something to do when I was bored at work. It quickly evolved into a journey, my story, and a little community grew around it. Over the years, the concept has changed. It went from “self-help,” to motivational, to lifestyle, to a mommy blog. I hate to put a label on it though. It is simply an extension of me. It…

    Divorce: A Mother’s Perspective

    Dena June 20, 2019

    A long, long time ago when this blog was still in its infancy, I had a column called, “Ask Dena.” I invited my readers to share their pressing life questions with me & I answered them with gentle guidance & love. One time, a reader asked me if she should stay with her husband for her children’s sake, despite the fact that she was miserable in her marriage. I responded…
