Last week, I posted my annual piece on the New Year's resolution divorce, which is always one of our most popular posts. Perhaps due to this phenomena, or perhaps due to pure coincidence, in the last two weeks, the papers have been filling with stories of celebrities that are divorcing, Chris Rock, Slash, Giada DeLaurentis, Idina Menzel, to name a few.
From the news accounts, at least some of them have been in the works for some time, but were either just filed and/or announced now. Perhaps celebrities were planning for a slow news cycle, college bowl games and pro football playoffs for the annoucement to fly under the radar. Or perhaps even celebrities see the new year as a the time for renewal and a fresh start. Maybe this is just a big coincidence, but it is an interesting one nonetheless. In any event, Happy New Year and just remember, you don't need to be a celebrity to seek your own fresh start.
