Perhaps you’ve followed this story.

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010When Things Aren’t Working, Try Something Else…
Thursday, July 29th, 2010By Guest Blogger Rana Waxman
What do you think when you look in the mirror? — I am a beautiful, awesome, wonderful, powerful, loving and capable woman!!
“WHAT??????” You’re probably saying as you read this, “NO WAY!! I am tired, stressed out, overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, anxious, and frustrated.”
Sound familiar? If stress has taken over your life like a garden full of weeds, you are not alone.You may feel alone though, and that “aloneness” makes it all the more challenging to make the changes that can lead you toward feeling better, thinking better, and leading a better life (from the inside out). So, if you are feeling any of the emotions I just mentioned, you need what my sister-in-law Caren calls, “a Plan.”
Closed On Open Marriage
Friday, April 23rd, 2010So, truth is, I have been on the lookout for a woman, who exists in my head, who would be in a loving, committed and happy marriage, to her soul-mate, but who doesn’t have exclusive sex with her husband. And he’s cool with it. And he does it too. I figured, there has to be a “normal” woman somewhere in the world, who could live in the ‘burbs, pretty house with the picket fence, the kids, but has sex outside the marriage and doesn’t get in trouble! But, so far, no woman has come knocking on my door, so I wanted to share something I found.
Well first, what is an open marriage by definition? Here it is out of the dictionary: (more…)
An Earth Day Perspective: The Making of An Unlikely Environmentalist
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010By Guest Blogger Dr. Sarah Warren
Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. (Wikipedia)
Happy Earth Day Everyone! When I came across Women On The Fence Blog, I instantly became a loyal reader. I too, like most of you women, come here for a daily dose of hope and inspiration. So, when I reached out to Erica about possibly becoming a guest Blogger and then told her of my background, she excitedly asked me to write a special Blog post for Earth Day. As an environmentalist and big protector of the earth we live in, my goal is not to convert you to a full blown earthy in just one post. Rather, it’s to provide you with some facts, and get you MOVING in the right direction, perhaps as a more mindful and respectful person of our earth. So if today, you decide to unplug your coffee machine after you’re done brewing that cup, or recycle your cereal box, because something clicked in your brain, then I have done my job.
Ok, here is a story. My story. It’s of the making of a highly unlikely environmentalist.
When Illness Takes Over a Marriage
Tuesday, April 13th, 2010By Guest Blogger Teresa Wilkinson
John and I were married on April 2, 1991. We eloped because I just couldn’t put the details together for our wedding. I couldn’t decide what I wanted… the big show or the small family wedding. Could I survive the embarrassment of all eyes on me at the big show? Or would it be fair if we did the small family wedding with only our parents? John had several aunts, uncles, and cousins that would surely be offended if they were not considered “immediate family.” So, I kept ignoring the whole marriage scene just to stay engaged. I was very comfortable sitting on the fence here. So John gave me an ultimatum, “Either we get married now, or the whole thing is off.” I packed up and within 5 hours, we were married.
I have to say he was right. We were meant to be married. We had two beautiful children and some fantastic memories. I was lucky enough to become part of a very large family of mixed races, cultures and social economic standing. I loved my new family as much as I loved my husband.
Lying by Omission
Thursday, April 8th, 2010By Our Anonymous Man on The Fence
There’s something to be said about liars; liars lie in so many ways and for so many reasons. Liars lurk in business, in marriages, in friendships, in life, to hurt; whether innocently, stupidly or maliciously. However, lying by omission is in a completely different league. This form of lying takes on a life of its own. Firstly, what is lying by omission?
One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to correct pre-existing misconceptions. (Wikipedia).
What If This Birthday Was Your Last?
Monday, March 29th, 2010I feel that out of all the blog posts I’ve shared with you, this one should leave the biggest impact. I had the good fortune of meeting an incredible woman many years ago… twenty three to be exact. I was young, single, and I was shopping for towels and linens for my new apartment. When I walked into the linen store, it was awe at first glance. At the first sight of this woman, I felt something. I can’t explain exactly what it was. She was a foreigner, she was young and beautiful, I would later find out she was a working mom, and her spirit somehow touched me that first day.
For over twenty three years I visited her store, buying all sorts of things for my apartment, and then later throughout my marriage, for my house. Every so often, we would get caught up in conversation. I learned of her awful divorce and her choice to pick up and leave Morocco for North America. I had a great sense of admiration and respect for this woman. She took the time to explain to me how she had six brothers and sisters, had come from a wealthy family, but because of infighting back at home, decided it was best to leave and start a new life, and new business in Canada. Over the years I watched her suffer through the chaos that ensued with her bi-polar son, as a single mom, with the strange fact that she barely even mentioned her other son. I also looked at her with the utmost respect, and complete disbelief surrounding her commitment to her family, to her children, to the running of a business etc…
