“Free yourself from mental slavery.” It fits right in with a great post by one of my favorite writers, Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of one of my fav books of all time-> Eat, Pray Love.

Today I saw a post on grief and it made me think of so many people. I thought of my friend’s family who is grieving the loss of a sweet young woman who died too soon.

I recently saw the movie, “The Descendants”- starring George Clooney. I admit I was drawn to the movie because he’s a big star. (Ok, that was the main reason.) But it was also the focus on family relationships…

So the last blog I posted had a recipe for using your voice in your relationships. Having a voice, being able to speak up for yourself, is an important skill in life and it’s a crucial skill in healthy relationships.
