Don’t let the turkeys get you down!

Dear Carolyn, Well, I survived my first Thanksgiving on the road. It was not as terrible as I thought it would be. I had a lot of calls/texts/emails from friends and family. They even put my son on face-to-face and I read him a goodnight story. ...

Repent and don’t repeat!

Tricky treats!

He learned from his mistake

 Dear Carolyn, I’m dating a man that was married to a terrible woman. She ran around on him and let him down in so many ways. He says he's learned a lot about life and love from all the mistakes they made. We are really good ...

Good guy gone bad?

June 10, 2010
