Dear Meli, I'm in love! I met him at a spiritual retreat a year ago and we've been together ever since. But there's a problem. My family doesn't like him. My friends do, which is really more important to me. But I live near both my parents and two of my siblings, and...

How Can I Contribute to a Harmonious World?
If I had to sum up the recent U.S. Presidential election in one word, I would pick: Divisive. I don’t want to pick that word. I’d rather pick a fun word like Spunky. Or Effervescent. Or Jabberwocky. But alas. I am stuck with Divisive. We all are. In the aftermath of...

What Should I Do About My Scheming Sister?
Dear Meli, I have one sibling, an older sister. We were closer when we were kids, but we’ve grown apart over the years. We are very different. From my point of view, she’s consumed with status and materialist success. From her point of view, I’m a flaky woo-woo person...
What If We’re All Chasing the Wrong Goal?
No matter what we’re doing, we’re all pretty much chasing the same thing. Excellent foot wear. Kidding. Although there’s lots to be said about excellent foot wear. And having excellent foot wear, like any other aspiration in life, does lead to that other thing we’re...
How Do I Reign in a Fundamentalist Grandmother?
Dear Meli, I am a single mom with two elementary school kids. I am also a long-time spiritual seeker who does yoga and meditates regularly – though not as much as I used to since I became a mom! My own mother moved back to my town last year, partly to help with the...
Why Falling Apart Can Be Part of Moving Forward
Once a week, Melissa and I unplug. We unplug from our email and our phones. We unplug from our work with OhMyGod Life. We even unplug from each other! I go into my office, shut the door, and spend the day reading and watching my favorite shows and movies. Melissa does...
How I Learned to Claim My Power by Giving It Away
I’m a little embarrassed to write this post. Okay, maybe more than a little. I would say I’m surprised I haven’t written about this already, given that it happened so long ago. But I’m not really surprised. Given the embarrassment factor. So let’s dive in, shall we?...
What Can I Do About My Constantly Complaining Coworker?
Dear Meli, I have a great job. I've been there over a decade and I love it. I feel like I'm doing good work and I'm appreciated by my clients and my coworkers. There's only one area where I'm experiencing conflict, and that's with a new coworker. She is extremely...
My Covid Miracle Part 2
Who knew that Covid could be so giving? Granted, when Melissa and I got Covid for the first time in the winter of ’23, it was giving a lot of fatigue and sniffles. But it also churned out a miracle. As I explained in my first Covid Miracle post, I ended up with an...
