Whether that love is something you've experienced for yourself, had and lost or have seen in others, I think most of us have a good idea of what love is - or what it is supposed to be. The thing about love is that there are all continue reading...

How To Start Living In The Moment We all think about the past and hope for the future. We look at photographs and read old texts, daydream about what could have been and what we hope will be.

Life moves very fast these days. Everywhere you look you are bombarded with billboards, ads, commercials and the next "shiny thing" that is meant to grab your attention. Instinctively and over time, you learn to turn it off. You learn to not hear all of the commotion around you; Not see the blinking lights. You learn to focus inward so that you aren't distracted by everything continue reading...

I have a confession to make - I have watched every single season of Big Brother. I am a huge fan of several different reality shows (Survivor, the Bachelor franchise, and Amazing Race among them), so I'm always engaged in a new reality "saga." If you've been watching Celebrity Big Brother, you know that one of the contestants is a man named James Maslow. I'd admit, I had no continue reading...

You and I both know that I write a lot about positivity. Being positive is important! It will get you to the places you hope for, the places you dream of, and the places you've worked toward.
