Dear Meli
Should You Stay with a Relapsed Partner?
Dear Meli, My boyfriend is an alcoholic. I knew that when I met him, but at the time he was in recovery. We've been together about five years, and he went off the wagon about a year ago. He keeps trying to get sober, but it keeps not happening. I'm beginning to...
How Do You Survive the Post-Holiday Blues?
Dear Meli, I am a big fan of the holiday season. I love it! I love the presents, I love the songs, I love the parties. I know that not everyone loves this season, but I really do. There's only one problem and that's what happens to me when the holidays are over. I get...
Can We Be Political and Spiritual at the Same Time?
Dear Meli, One of my best friends is really into the Black Lives Matter movement. She considers herself spiritual and is always telling me that spirituality should include social justice. I'm not so sure. Sometimes it seems like people who are really political are...
How Can Our Spiritual Practices Help in the Current Political Climate?
Dear Meli, In case you didn’t already know, we recently elected a sexist, racist pathological liar as President of the United States. WTF? I consider myself a spiritual person, but it’s really hard for me not to hate this guy. Not only that, I feel despair about the...
What’s the Relationship Between Childhood Abuse and Spiritual Practice?
Dear Meli, In spiritual circles, they're always saying that our happiness is up to us. But what if you've had really bad stuff happen to you? As a child, I was sexually abused. It's not something I talk about a lot, but it has definitely had a big impact on my life....
How Do You Handle a Road Raging Spouse?
Dear Meli, I'm a great driver. I've been driving thirty years and I've never even had a speeding ticket. My husband – that's another story. He likes to drive fast. He also tends to get angry at other drivers who don't go as fast as he does. Luckily, I have my own car...
How Do You Handle a Complaining Friend?
Dear Meli, I have a friend. She's one of my oldest and dearest friends. We went to grade school together. She's always had my back, and in many ways she's one of my biggest supporters. But – and this is a big but – she's a big complainer. Like, half of what she says...
Do I Have to Be Spiritual Because My Partner Is?
Dear Meli, I'm not spiritual. Really, I'm not kidding. My partner of ten years, on the other hand, is super spiritual. When we got together, we were both atheists, but since then she's totally gone on a spiritual kick. First it was yoga. Then meditation. And now she's...
Are You Depressed or Detached?
Dear Meli, For a long time, I was totally enamored with spiritual life. Amazing things would happen in my life and I would be totally blown away. But now, I'm a lot more blasé about it all. Don't get me wrong, my life is still great. But somehow, I don't care. Things...
How Do You Get Your Power Back?
Dear Meli, I have a friend that I give my power away to all the time. I don't know what it is about her, but even when I give myself a pep talk before I see her, I always end up just giving up and going along with whatever she says is right. I love a lot of things...
Should You Share Your Vision with Others?
Dear Meli, I have a dream. It's a big dream. I haven't told anyone about it because I don't want to have anyone discourage me. What do you think about this? Do you think it's okay to keep it to myself, or should I be sharing it with others who can help or encourage...
How Do You Make Peace with Aging?
Dear Meli, I'm embarrassed to admit this, because I know that acceptance is the key to true spirituality, but I really don't like getting older. It sucks. My body doesn't work as well as it used to. People treat me differently. My hair is all grey now, and I'm aware...
