What if….
you had access to one of the greatest minds in the world?
{other than me, of course}
And you could ask that great mind anything you wanted and then sit back and bask in all their incredible wisdom?
What would you ask?
Well, wonder no more.
Because I just so happen to know people.
Do you see that sponsor over there to left (to the left) that says Family Help Today?
Ya, well she, Shelby Riley, just so happens to be one of the best and most knowledgeable therapists in the world.
According to me.
And I know, because she is one of my favorite friends, so I’m totally unbiased.
But, seriously.
She is amazing.
And not only is she totally good at what she does,
but she is also kinda hilarious at the same time.
I know, funny and wise…oh and cute???
I mean, I thought I was the only one out there until she came along.
So, wait…where was I going with this?
Oh ya.
Shelby has this great column on her website called Ask Shelby where people write in with their problems, and she gives them the greatest advice ever.
And it’s free.
I know, because I got to help edit one, and well…look at me now.}
But, here’s where you guys get to benefit.
She is going to do a column HERE!
For you guys!!!
So, here’s what you gotta do.
Think of a problem you have,
an issue you’re dealing with,
or something you’ve always needed advice on,
and ask it in the comments.
Go ahead and be anonymous if you must….
we understand protecting your privacy and all that.
And then next week, Shelby will be back with one (or more) questions to answer.
Don’t miss out on your chance to bask in the glory of a wise mind.
Because one day when she’s on Oprah, you can say, I asked her when.
P.S.
Because I’m sure you’re losing sleep over the monogram as well,
I’m thinking of:
SHC
for Summer Helen Caroline.
My sister seems to agree, and she’s usually right.
Or so she’s always told me.
you agree too?

i agree with your sis. i still like SHJ and SHC. take care and i look forward to seeing the necklace on a fashion friday post.
Ok, here goes…
My hubby & I are having some serious issues with our 10 year old daughter. She is the brightest, smartest, most beautiful girl ever, but she has the worst attitude. We’ve tried removing privileges, etc., we have long (to her) talks with her about her attitude, but nothing seems to sink in. It’s literally like talking to a brick wall. I love her more than anything, but she’s rude to almost everyone and downright mean to her little brother. I realize siblings fight, but this is different.
Do you have any advise on how to get her to see how her poor attitude effects not only her, but everyone around her?
My mom and I can’t ever seem to get along it seems. I’ve always thought it was because we were too much a like but sometimes I think its because she has a hidden agenda. I guess my question is how can I let her know in a nice way that this is the way I want to live my life (I’m not married and living with my boyfriend, who she loves, but she tells people we live together in a house of sin)? It makes my heart hurt deep that her and I are not close and I want more than anything to share that close mother daughter bond with her. What can we do to get along?
love the monogram – great thinking!
Ok – my “best friend” & I have been friends for almost 5 years. And our friendship has…well, always been about her. About her & her now-husband breaking up (horribly), about him not proposing, about her infertility, about her job, getting fired from said job after accusations about her and a client. She’s one of those “I don’t want to talk about it but all we do is talk about it” people. She rarely asks how I am or how my life is, etc. When she does, it’s quickly topped off by one of her anecdotes about her own life. And sometimes I need someone to listen. Do I drop this friend or just realize she’s not the “best” and leave it at that?
-And this is not to say she doesn’t have redeeming moments (throwing a baby and bridal shower for me) but none have popped out in the past 2 years.
Oh this is good!
Ok, two of my precious nieces (who are 23 and 29, so the adult kind of niece, not the kid kind) are in relationships with AWFUL men. Like, abusive (emotionally at least, we’re not sure about physical abuse but wouldn’t be surprised) drugheads who depend on my nieces for most of their financial support. I pretty much want to punch them both in the face every time I see them (the guys, not my nieces). Anyhoo, is it better for me to let my nieces know how truly horrible I think these men are and that I pray fervently that they will see the light and drop them on their sorry butts, or should I look the other way and let them continue in these relationships without voicing my opinion? I don’t want to alienate my girls and seem like the “bad guy” who’s dissing their men but it’s hard to pretend like everything’s roses and rainbows when I’m around the guys at family functions. It just breaks my heart to see them with these losers and I wish I could do something to get them out of the situation. Please advise 🙂
Here is my question : My boyfriend and I have been dating almost 2 years. After about 6-7 months he told me I was “the one”, which was great, becuase I felt the same way. Well flash forward a year and still no ring. His family, friends, my friends keep asking him about it, but nothing. I love him, but I am starting to think that if it is taking this long after “he knew” maybe is isn’t as into me as he has let on…? But he talks about “our wedding” and “our kids” all the time. I don’t know if I am being a nutcase, or if I should bring up my feelings to him. How can I talk to him about this without being too pushy/needy, ideas?
Dear Shelby,
I’m not sure you do relationship advice, but lately I’ve been feeling like my partner is dismissing me. I feel he doesn’t listen or pay attention, and that he is not interested in my life. What should I do about this?
For some background, we’ve dated on and off for 11 years steadily for the past two. We moved in together last summer, and we’re seriously considering marriage. I used to consider him my best friend before this.
Thanks!
I am going to have to think about this! But how fun 🙂 I have a million and one problems, I just have to think of which one is the most pressing 😉
Hugs to you Miss Summer! SHC sounds really good… I am with your sister!
this is a tough one…
i’m divorced because of abuse, so there are so many questions in my head, but i seem to deal with things very well. any advice would be great
ps did you know Oprah quit?
This makes me want to reply to some of your readers comments with my advice to them. But I will let the doc do that.
I just became aware about a month ago that my husband of two years had been hiding a secret addiction from me for the last several months. We are working through it, and I feel like we have come a long way.
However, he is very defensive about it and I feel like I am walking on eggshells around him. He thinks I should have reacted better than I did. He thinks he would have been more loving and supportive if we were reversed rolls.
Anyway, how can I continue to forgive and trust him again when instead of groveling at my feet for forgiveness, he acts like everything should be normal? And he has been more hostile and harsh with his words when he is upset with me.
Hope all this made sense. I would just like to hear somebodies take on it because nobody really knows in “real life”. Thanks.
this is great, but i’m definitely going to have to think about a question for this one for sure!!
and i like SHC, too!
I just sat here for 10 minutes trying to come up with a question, but can’t think of any good ones… grrrrr. I’ll be back 🙂
I am sure I could come up with 100 questions for her… oy where to start haha. I’ll rack my brain and see what I come back with. Can’t wait to see her first column!
I work with a guy that I totally have a crush on. We flirt with each other all the time. He tells me that I am pretty and sexy. It seems harmless really but I am starting to have dreams about this other man, crazy hot sexy dreams. Sometimes they are so bad that I can’t even look at him the next day.
I would never dream of cheating on my husband in real life but in my head and in my dream, it appears that I have. I feel like my mind is doing bad things. I want the dreams and thoughts to stop. How can I handle this?
This is really cool. I can’t wait to read all about it.
Very cool…need to think of something. But I’ll definitely check it out before I spill my guts!LOL!
She’s lucky to have such a great friend…I’m sure she’s told you that!!
oooh goodie, free therapy! i’ll have to think this one over…
and yes, i like the monogram choice. nice work!
muah!
what’s the monogram thing all about?
i’ve been away for so long…please fill me in!
Can’t wait to read her column.
