Dear Meli, My drug of choice is food, especially sugar. For many years, I had it under control. And then came 2022. For whatever reason, I found myself back in the food. I don't attend 12-step meetings, because they never worked for me. I do have a spiritual practice,...
When the Disruption of the Plan IS the Plan
When I was a kid, I knew I was going into theater. I say knew, as opposed to dreamed about, because I was given a vision showing me exactly what was coming. It happened when I was seven years old. I was standing in my parent’s bedroom. Suddenly, in my mind’s eye, I...
What’s Your Hidden Theme? And How Is It Shaping Your Life?
I had no idea I had a hidden theme until I was confronted with it by my ex-girlfriend. My ex-girlfriend was all about confrontation. Which is one of a thousand reasons why she’s my ex. In this case, however, her confrontation was the mildest and most helpful of our...
How Do I Handle My Adult Child’s Bad Parenting?

How Can I Regain My Faith in Humanity After a Tragedy?
Dear Meli, I'm sorry to get so heavy, but I have a really hard one. My mother was murdered. It happened about three years ago. She was in her sixties and was killed by her boyfriend. No one saw it coming. He seemed like a really great guy, and she didn't have a...

What Others Think of Me IS My Business
It’s true that what others think of me is ultimately none of my business. But it’s also true that it is my business. Here’s an example. I recently went to the great city of San Francisco. While I was there, I noticed I was getting a lot of stares. This isn’t uncommon...
Help! My Adult Child and I Have Nothing in Common!
Dear Meli, I am embarrassed to ask you this question, but it's been weighing heavily on me lately. I have two adult children, a son and a daughter. My son and I get along wonderfully. My daughter and I get along well too, at least on the surface, but it's hard for me...
How Do I Stop Telling the Same Sad Story About My Past?
Dear Meli, I had a really hard childhood. In many ways, things are so much better now. I've come a long way and I'm grateful for who I am today. But there's something that still bothers me. When I talk about my childhood, it's hard not to lapse into telling it as a...
Why Our Third Tour Kicked Our Ass and What We Plan To Do About It
A few months ago, we got home from our third tour. The more we tour, the better we get at it. For instance, we knew that we were going to need a week of down time after we got home in order to refresh and regroup. Oh, how wrong we were! It turned out we needed about...
When What You Think You’re Missing Isn’t What You’re Missing
When I moved to California several decades ago, I attended my first metaphysical church. Up until that point, I had been a convert of the Lone Ranger School of Spirituality. The Lone Ranger approach worked out well enough. I meditated. By myself. I read a lot of...
How Do I Handle My Constantly Complaining Friend?
Dear Meli, I have a friend I've known since college. I love her dearly, but lately it's getting harder and harder to hang out with her. She's always complaining. She complains about her job. She complains about her wife. She complains about her parents. Sometimes she...
