For generations all across America, little girls have been raised, shaped, and encouraged to be as attractive as their physical assets allow. Essentially, the message to them has been “promote and lead with your looks.” In the last decade, with the help of surgical enhancements, an increased population, and a tolerant culture, the competition has [...]

After some time swimming in the “dating pool,” I have found that many available men are not up for (or to) the job of dating. They prefer the “meet and greet” approach. I suppose in an environment where time is precious and baggage is plentiful, the “once over” can make sense. However, guys, after the [...]

One of the greatest demonstrations of a meaningful life is making time work for you! There are only two things you can do about time with your brainpower: You can spend it, or you can invest it.

Today I practice unwavering faith even if the face of the stock market (holding my retirement funds) slipping and sliding. I stand for believing that beyond the numbers reflected by the DOW or the S&P I would be OK. As long as I remain faith filled in spirit, correct in conduct and committed to actively [...]
