I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's strange how special the holiday season is and yet it can also be so bittersweet and even painful for those families involved in any stage of divorce. The adult children are drawn into the problem in selecting with which parent they should celebrate each special day. Some parents make it easy by not forcing any issues and by being flexible. Other parents continue the divorce battle even after it is all supposedly over. They attempt to control by threats or carrots or even worse by placing guilt in the minds of their children.

Is this coming Thursday about Thanksgiving or about giving thanks or is it about just giving? I'm not sure that the terms are synonymous. Is the focus on being grateful for all of our blessings? Do we appreciate our families and the support systems that friends and family offer? Or, is it about eating too much and forgetting the people out there who are alone?

LIFE IN A PERFECT WORLD! 

Equality And The American Dream… 

"Thank You" is all that I can say! Today was the result of the best money I ever spent! To learn so much from so many empowered women took my breath away. Blogher and this conference made an impact on my life that I can never repay. I am still trying to remember all of the women and all of the lessons that were shared with me today! YOU GO GIRLS! I am proud to be in your midst! claudia@claudiabroome.com www.tohaveandtoholdhostage.com
