I did not imagine my last post would cause so much discussion. I am thrilled that so many of you jumped into the fray and voiced your opinions about 5 Myths of Divorce Revealed. I approached the post by first thinking about some my preconceived notions about divorce and then began to research what others had to say. One of the most surprising revelations was the research and opinions about keeping the marriage together for the children. Myth #2, really got everyone talking.
Therefore I thought I would dig a little deeper and try to present my Fox News version of both sides of the story.

It’s true. This is my first St. Valentine’s Day as a divorced woman. The fact that I am newly single with no sweetheart to grant my Valentine Wish seems kind of a downer doesn’t it? Truthfully, I don’t care that I don’t have a sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. I have a lot of love in my life.
Instead, I thought it would be fun to do a little Google scavenger hunt on Valentine’s Day. I brainstormed 10 top Google ranked Valentine’s Day phrases, typed each in the Google Search and looked at result number 100 for each (10th result on page 10). This is what I found out about Valentine’s Day beyond page one.

Morbid curiosity caused me to click the link for the article I’ve included under our Oprah Power link heading below. Fear, compassion, and kinship filled my heart as I read Susan Klebold’s words.
Who is Susan Klebold? Does her name sound familiar to you? It should. Her son Dylan was one of the pair that wreaked havoc at Columbine High School in Littleton Colorado 10 years ago.
As I read through her confession tears began to well in my eyes and my chest became tight. I remember where I was when I heard on the news of this terrible tragedy. This hit especially close to me because I lived in Littleton for a while growing up. My sister graduated from Columbine High School. I know the street, the neighborhood and the types of families that live in this suburb of Denver, CO.
