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?

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...

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...
How Can I Trust My Age-Gap Relationship?
Dear Meli, I'm in love! This should be good news, right? And it is. But he's a lot younger than me. I'm in my 50's and he's in his 30's. I got divorced from my husband a few years ago and I thought I'd spent the rest of my life as a happily-divorced older woman. I was...
How Do I Handle My Pervasive Dissatisfaction?
Dear Meli, I feel funny writing you. My life is going great. I have my dream job. I'm in a great relationship. I have a small group of close friends. There's nothing wrong. Except I feel off. I can enjoy my life at times, but other times it feels like nothing truly...
My Covid Miracle
If you think Covid is a hoax, you might want to skip this post. If you don’t like when people find silver linings – or entire pieces of silver – in the midst of challenges, you might want to skip it as well. Almost four years after Covid first made its pesky...
You Can’t Manifest Something New Without Doing This
Here’s what a lot of folks think the manifestation process is like: You pick a new thing you want to manifest in your life. You meditate. You say affirmations. You make a vision board. When the new thing comes, it fits neatly into your life. Like the final piece of a...
What Do I Owe My Neglectful Parent?
Dear Meli, I had a really hard childhood. I never met my father and my mother was a drug addict who was abusive and neglectful. I lived in and out of foster homes for most of my teens. Fortunately, my life is way better now. I'm happily married and have kids of my...
