Women make more mistakes in their choice of workplace shoes than any other accessory.

Some of the shoe mistakes women frequently make are due to the comfort factor - it’s tricky to find shoes that look fabulous and are comfortable. But more often than not it’s simply a matter of choosing unsuitable styles - which not only make you look shorter and heavier but can change the entire mood of the outfit as well. The rule of thumb in buying shoes for the workplace is “You get what you pay for”! Of course that doesn’t mean you can’t shop for a deal, but super cheap shoes – while great for cute weekend wear – should not be the footwear of choice for work.

Anger May Be a Symptom of Your Beliefs

There are a variety of reasons a person may become angry. In previous articles, I have discussed the primary feelings that result in anger and the high expectations one may have, which result in disappointment and subsequent anger. I now want to introduce how a person’s belief system can cause a great deal of anger, which is based on the work of Albert Ellis. What are your beliefs? Which ones do you hold dear? Which beliefs do you have that do not serve you anymore—or even cause you harm? A belief is something that you hold to be true.

Being and Loving Your Authentic Self

Do you really love yourself? That is a tough question. How do we know if we do or not? I like to think about loving oneself like having a permanent, ever present best friend. So how do best friends behave towards one another? First of all they encourage each other. They see the best in the other person, they are patient, kind and forgiving. They may also be fun and joyous to be around. They may make you laugh and also be there to support you when you feel like crying. So do you think you are or could be your own best friend?

Judge Sonia Sotomayor - What is Her Purpose?

The people who serve our country are no different than you or I. We all have a purpose to contribute to life, based on the qualities we were born with. I watched on TV the Day 1 confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. As I watched and listened, I began to wonder, "Who is this woman? What does she stand for and what are her life lessons?" If elected as the newest Supreme Court member, she will hold a very formidable position in the third branch of our government.
