In my friend Cheli’s Inspired Mondays post, “Ego Vs. Creativity,” she advises, “Don’t be your own obstacle.” She also explains how “the Ego thrives on labels” and how it "ultimately ‘dumbs’ down authentic self expression and creativity.”
It wasn’t until long after my divorce that I would learn about The Four Horsemen by the Gottman Institute. The Four Horsemen (as in the Apocalypse) is a metaphor to describe communication styles that can predict the end of a relationship. They are: criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling.

My fiance and I finally set our wedding date. We hadn’t gotten very far in the planning process when news of the pandemic hit. With our late summer wedding now only five months away, it doesn’t leave much time to plan (though I think its doable). In light of what’s going on in the world, however, it feels weird to plan a wedding right now.
