How to Be Your Own Therapist at B&N
Those wonderful book folks over at Barnes & Noble have picked up the rights to publish my book, How to Be Your Own Therapist, and have included it in their new spring 2007 line. So, you'll be able to find it in their stores where they stock their titles.
Interesting that when I was a student at New York University in NYC, I bought my books at a bookstore called The SBX (still don't quite know what that meant) and it was opened by a graduate student named Len Riggio. Well, Len rose to be a major force in college bookstores and, eventually, bought the Barnes & Noble stores and became its CEO. Small world because later, when I worked in magazine publishing, I sat in a small 16-seater plane coming back, in a snowstorm, from Syracuse University where I'd attended a college bookstore meeting. Guess who was the guy sitting next to me as we looked anxiously at those ice-up wings? Len Riggio. Now, I'm one of his authors. He has his own jet plane.
I'm really happy that they've picked up my book because I've always had a fondness for the store. I also remember that once I had lunch with the last of the family owners who eventually sold to Len. I went on a tour of their cavernous lower Fifth Avenue store in NYC and just loved it. If you love books, this was the place to be and, if you're looking for self-help/self-improvement, I have to recommend my book because I know it's solid and it can help a lot of people.

SBX = student book exchange.
We have one on our campus here in Ohio. Wonder if it's the same chain?
My husband says he has no feeling for me at all. He does not want to see me, talk to me or anything.He wanted space so I left him alone in our house. He won't sleep in our bed. He acted like this 3 year ago before we got married. Then he snapped out of it asked me to forgive him. I talked with him and asked him why he acted like that. He said he didn't know but promised we would work it out together if it happened again. Now he's doing it again. 3 days ago he wanted to break down and cry over the phone. Now he says he is done and wants a divorce. What's going on?
I don't know but I think it's something that calls for marital counseling with an experienced therapist.
I just don't understand why we women keep doing this to ourselves, why can't we just be happy. Some of us with kids have no excuse because there all the sunshine we need, there love has no boundaries. I'm tired of the games that go on in relationship. i'm never happy when I'm in a relationship, it just seems like the women have so much work to do in the relationship, I'm tired of it. Then we get so stressed out that we want to hurt ourselves and don't want to live. I"m scared to look for a relationship because I feel like no man is ever going to give me the love I deserve, and the little love that's left in me he's going to destroy it. Sometimes I think I need help dealing with being lonely that can be very hard sometimes even with kids, but i'm hanging in there. Sometimes I tell myself I need help, but then I see so much more serious problems then me. I just wish I can wave a magic wand and make everything better.
Lately Ive have been under so much stress that I just feel like curling up in a ball and escaping from the world. My mother is very ill, and my boyfriend says he needs some space. I really dont know what to do and I commonly just want to cry.
To the woman looking for happiness in a relationship:
I want to lovingly point out that we CANNOT find our happiness in another being. They WILL fail us eventually. We are all humans that make mistakes, poor choices etc. So no one will make you happy. You must be happy without someone. I am married, we have had our trials. But I cannot and will not allow my happiness to come from another human it won't work. Trust me I tried it.
It has to come from a higher source.
Second "ALL" of us and I mean ALL have failed someone else in one way shape or form.We are all guilty.
My advice for what it is worth is get right with yourself, don't expect a prince charming. Yes be healthy in a relationship but learn to serve and not to be served.
It is VERY difficult.
I take great delight in serving my spouse. Have I been hurt? UMMM badly at one point and 6 years of healing still in the making. But I have decided not to look at myself and to him and what he needs.
The happiest I am is when I serve others and take the focus off of myself.
Doesn't mean we need to be a doormat however or abused.
Don't put your HOPE or TRUST in any one person to the point of suicide if something happens with them or to them.
Blessings,
