I get a lot of 911-type calls for help with relationships. Often it’s like closing the barn after the horses have gotten out.

This is an excerpt from my upcoming book, Creating Happily Ever After. I’d love your thoughts and comments.

I have been so focused on getting my upcoming book written and edited that I’ve neglected my blog. The new book is about relationships, of course. It is a compilation of my 18 years of practice as a therapist and relationship coach.
