A Community for every Relationship

Anyone under thirty who's ever had a friend get married is familiar with such wedding resources as The Knot, Ultimate Wedding, Wedding Channel...and the list goes on. Now divorcees - or those just thinking about it - are hopping on the online community bandwagon with Divorce360. Very cool. Includes not only some very comprehensive articles, but also a robust user community including areas for journaling and peer advice.

Divorce is tough enough. Good to see folks don't need to go it alone.

Who's wearing the pants?

I bought a new pair of pants yesterday. They're funky, cool, but professional: even my cutting-edge fashionista step-daughter would be proud of me. They're what we called 'hip huggers' in the 70's, but are just normal pants now. Not those hideous low-rise things that only look good on Lindsay Lohan, but just a little lower than I'm used to. Which comes to the point: I can't seem to get used to them. The pockets bulge out because I keep pulling them up higher on my waist. Which sort of defeats the purpose of buying cool new pants.

So I'm wondering what other things / emotions / actions / behaviors I continue to keep in my life, that no longer serve me? What else have I gotten so used to, I don't even notice? Or, what do I tolerate because it's too much work to change?

As we slide into the holidays, and turn into our 10-year-old selves (or worse, our 15-year-old selves) when we walk in the family front door, what unconscious behaviors take over?

This week's all about intentionality. Wearing my pants like I mean it! On purpose. For real.
