Nice post! I so appreciate the rawness(is that a word?ha!) in your writing! It's fantastic-love your style & tone!....and who can not relate to the "I think your eyeing up my man!" scenarios!

I definitely agree with you, the writer did a great job in this article I can feel all the emotions she had felt while writing this article.

Lucia - girl, I love you. That had me laughing and crying. You are beautiful. Thank you for this...

When I hesitate on a subject matter I do honestly think, "I have to write this into an article this week, Mojo will be reading it, while sipping her coffee...this one's for her"

awesome piece again- as always. And amazing courage for getting to a therapist. Too many people don't. Finally, a professional hazard- as a relationship coach I say, what the ?&#! was that therapist doing not picking up on the signals that you were retreating into your head? If she does her job right, the focus should be on the "relationship" on the space between and around you- not one and then the other....

Thank you, Pearl! Love you. To be fair to the therapist, this rapid fire thought progression happened in about ten seconds...she's been a good help so far. I wonder what article I will write next week however, and I wonder what excellent shoes she will wear? lol

This was hilarious in a sad, "I've been there" kind of way. Thank you for sharing and good for you for doing the hard work.

Thank you Carolynn - I was a bit worried to post this one but it seems its always worth the risk as others can relate..thank you for your encouragement. It's hard work this love stuff. I hope I have the stomach for it. My best to you.

I'm not sure what to say. I've been trying to write a comment, but nothing seems to do what you wrote justice. You've got us in tears, Lucia, and I don't know how you manage to write like you do about something so close to your heart. I really admire you for it.

It is a strange thing. I'll write an article before I'll call a friend. Seems oddly safer to share my pain publicly when it is this close to home. Thank you for listening. Thank you for writing. Alison. You are part of my community. Part of my healing process ,if that indeed is what is happening, which I think it is. Thank you.

I'm honored, thankyou. I'm very happy to be part of both.

This is lovely, Lucia. Daring both in its pain and its hope. And funny, of course. Very funny. Bravo. And thanks.
