Be Your Own Best Friend
“Be your own best friend.”Kathleen Keenan-Takagi My high school music teacher wrote those words in my yearbook because she knew something about me that I had not yet learned to recognize in myself.

Read MoreI’m Not A Barbie Doll!
For much of my marriage, I occasionally suspected my husband had wanted a Barbie doll and was mildly disappointed to discover that his wife came with opinions, comfortable shoes and absolutely no interest in being dressed for someone else’s approval.
