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...
My Guru Has a Tail, Ep 19: What in God’s Name Is That Noise?
Most Gurus have a past, and ours is no exception. Our Guru kitty Max spent the first two years of his life on the streets. Literally. When he first showed up at the home of a friend of ours, he was dirty and scrawny. Our friend tried to integrate him into her...
How Do I Release My Inner Grinch?
Dear Meli, I know most people don't agree with me, but I am not a fan of Christmas. It's become so commercial, it drives me crazy. And all the social obligations that crop up this time of year can be overwhelming. My family of origin is all gone, so I don't have to...
Is Your Current Plan a Safer Version of What’s Really Calling You?
You’re not always right. No offense, but you’re not. And I’m not saying this because I’m a Super Smarty Pants who knows everything and always does what I’m supposed to do. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’m a Super Silly Pants who has all sorts of ideas that are not...
Help! My Spouse Is Driving Me Crazy!
Dear Meli, My husband and I have been together almost 20 years. Great, right? Yeah, it's pretty good overall. There's just one little problem. He drives me crazy. He's not abusive or anything, it's not that. He just gets on my nerves. The way he gets really quiet and...
Can You Be Romantically Compatible With a Non-Believer?
Dear Meli, I recently started dating a wonderful woman. I'd been in the dating pool for a few years since my wife died, and I didn't find anyone I really connected with. Until now. There's just one thing. My new sweetheart is an atheist. She doesn't believe in any...
The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory
First off, I need to say that I’m not a conspiracy theorist. And it’s not just because I don’t look good in tinfoil. I don’t believe that Elvis Presley faked his death. I don’t believe that the British royal family are descended from blood-drinking, shape-shifting...
My Spiritual Community Blamed My Friend for Her Cancer
Dear Meli, I have been attending a New Thought center for about three years. Soon after I started attending, I met a friend there I'll call Tricia. Tricia and I became close friends immediately. She was smart, funny, and sensitive. About a year into our friendship,...
I Hate My Job! But I Can’t Quit!
Dear Meli, I hate my job! It's boring and it sucks the life out of me. And before you say I should just quit, it's not that simple. I work for a government agency, and I've built up a lot of time with them. In order to collect a decent pension, I need to stay there at...
