10 Reasons Why You Should Have Sex on the First Date

by KatieP, in category Heart | Dating

There is an article doing the rounds that urges people (the author is surprisingly a man) to wait before they have sex with someone new. Everyone is entitled to their preferences but I’m not known for my patience. I met my boyfriend on a late summer’s night five years ago. Before that night, we had emailed, chatted… Read More

Searching for Fullness

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

Women seem to have the hardest time with overeating, dieting and obsessing about food. Perhaps the reason for this is that most women have a feminine essence which desires the sensation of fullness. A masculine essence, on the other hand, it all about finding peace and nothingness and is illustrated in their need to zone out… Read More

Suicide • Why Nobody Loves Me Isn’t a Good Enough Reason to Kill Yourself

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

When I wrote 10 Things You Should Know Before You Kill Yourself, I spoke from the only perspective I know — my experience as the wife of a man who took his own life. A lot of people respond negatively to that post claiming their situation is different because they are alone and will be… Read More

What to Do When Your Partner Cheats

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

When I published my post I Had an Affair and I’m Not Ashamed, I received a lot of hate mail. One friend posted on my Facebook wall about her husband’s infidelity and then promptly unfriended me. Another spoke of how her cheating father had left a trail of destruction she still had trouble forgiving. I understand that affairs can cause… Read More

Marked in Ink • a Search for Immortality

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness

On my left wrist, scratched into my skin is a red heart with angel’s wings. I had it done on my 45th birthday at The Illustrated Man. It was the last birthday I spent with my late husband. His birthday present to me was a fountain fashioned from a vase and a bowl, cobbled together to… Read More

I had an affair and I’m not ashamed

by KatieP, in category Health | Sexuality

If I had been born at a different time you might have stoned me, or forced me to wear a scarlet letter upon my dress. I am the women you talk about in hushed tones. I am the kind of women you hope is never alone with your husband. I had an affair. The circumstances… Read More

Why your self-love efforts aren’t working

by KatieP, in category Health | Midlife

After I finished writing yesterday’s post on the three types of love strategies between a couple, it occurred to me that the same principles apply to self-love. If you know how you receive love from others, you know how to receive it from yourself Many people’s self-love efforts aren’t making any difference because people are following advice based… Read More

Why your attempts at love are failing (and what to do about it)

by KatieP, in category Heart | Love & Romance

How do you know someone loves you? No really, how do you know? Can you remember a time when you felt totally loved? When was the moment you knew for sure? What did that person do to convince you? I’m guessing you came up with an answer along the lines of (a) it was the way… Read More

Why no one escapes childhood intact

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness
why my childhood was shit and so was yours

As part of the discussion around legalising same-sex marriage in Australia, an American woman named Katy Faust has been playing the ‘rights of the children’ card. She wants us to believe all children need a biological mother and father to have a ‘good’ childhood. Aside from the fact it is an absurd notion, the argument has a… Read More

How to make a woman's blood run hot

I have experienced first-hand what it means to be with a man who I love emotionally, mentally and physically and there is no way I will ever settle for anything less.

Setting and Enforcing your Personal Boundaries

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness
setting and enforcing your personal boundaries

Personal boundaries are filters that protect us from behaviours we find unacceptable. A personal boundary is a rule YOU say cannot be broken without consequence. Healthy people have all sorts of personal boundaries (rules) that help insulate them from others’ negative words and actions. We cannot control someone’s thoughts and opinions but we can limit the amount of exposure we… Read More

Talking Back to the Voice in my Head

by KatieP, in category Head | Mindfulness
talking back to the voice in my head

The voice in my head tells me that I’m not good enough, that I could do better, if only I worked on being more loving, compassionate, patient, giving … (insert your word here). And there are people who seem to agree with the thoughts that come to me in the middle of the night.  And… Read More

Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Should I Stay or Should I Go - when it's time to leave a relationsip

I used to be a master of distraction (weight loss was my favourite diversion) so it took me a long to realise my marriage had disintegrated while I hadn’t been paying attention. I remember sitting in front of the computer late one night Googling “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” I wanted a check list, or… Read More
