Your spouse says “You’re gonna wear that?!” Your child, in a fit of frustration, yells out “I hate you!” Your boss says “This’ll never fly. Where’s your creativity?” Whether important or not, life-altering or just annoying, why is it that a single critical comment from your spouse, child or business partner hurts more than the compliment or appreciative words they offer? Why does that criticism linger while the compliment fades away almost immediately? It’s not like your sp

Do you remember these lyrics from Kenny Rogers’ song What Are We Doin’ In Love? We’re like summer and winterr We’re not one bit aliker We’re like satin and cindersr I’m definitely not your typer Well, then what are we doin’ in love What are we doin’ in a mess like thisr What are we doin’ in love What are we gonna tell our friends

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU AND YOUR BALANCE ISSUES

Over the past few weeks, there has been blanket coverage over the tragic death of Michael Jackson. There have been vigils, memorial shows and gatherings across the globe, where fans have united in their grief to mou the loss of the "King of Pop". Jackson was known and applauded around the world for his music, but his private life often came to the fore which in recent years, led him to become a virtual recluse before his much anticipated comeback tours. There have been coun

As I look back on 2015, I think "Wow! What an amazing year!" Yes, it had some challenges and disappointments. No, my income wasn't as high as I had planned. But, I can look back and say it was truly an amazing year and I am blessed beyond belief. Let me recap to explain why. In January I began on a cruise with a group of about 60 people who were looking to take life up a notch. And, boy, did we! Many of us on that cruise have co-written a book on thriving that is about to be released.

A newspaper advice column recently featured an interesting letter from a parent. It said: “We have a sixteen-year-old daughter who does not drink, smoke, use drugs, or stay out late. She isn’t pregnant and she is a straight-A student. Please tell us – where did we go right?” Teenagers today are all trying to discover who they are. A teenage boy spent two years trying to find himself. One day he got a haircut, and there he was!

Parenting – It’s the only job that you receive no training for and receive no monetary compensation for. You can’t quit, your hard work is rarely acknowledged, and instead of a Christmas Bonus you’re expected to spend extravagant amounts on your unruly boss/child. Add in divorce, financial ...

If you fight a (sometimes) losing battle with procrastination every day, and your life feels like a disaster area, you may be questioning the title of this article. “Is now a good time? When else would be a good time?” “Is now a good time? No, three months ago would have been a good time, but I’ll settle for now.”

Have you ever heard opportunity knock? Are you aware it knocks in large and small ways every day? I was banging on the door of an organization for about 6 months. Nothing happened. I couldn't even get an email returned. Although I was frustrated, I kept knocking (literally emailing and calling). Oh, and let's not forget social media; I reached out through LinkedIn to several connections. But, to no avail.

elizabeth: I want a day off. I am sitting here typing these words but inside my little head I am complaining in a rather whiny, pissed off, juvenile voice that I want the day off. I want to be given the day off without guilt. For the last 2 years, I have been telling myself that if I take a day my coaching business will cease (well, thanks to the economy …), my stories will dry up and my dying words will make a thunderous noise as they plummet back to earth, and I will be missing an animal or two because of the dust that rivals bunnies in the reproduction department will take over my abode.

There are plenty of different types of remote controlled vehicles to choose from, but Feilun FT011 electric boats stand out. They are among the most popular Feilun FT011 models when compared with airplanes, trucks, and cars. Watching a replica of a battle ship, speed boat, or clipper creating a wake over the surface of a lake or pond is a pleasure enjoyed by many consumers and spectators who happen to be passing when you launch your vessel. Instead of buying the gas or Nitro

People, please take a step back and laugh! Whatever is going on in your life, there is humor to be found. The ability to laugh at life’s struggles will ultimately help you deal with them. Studies show that people with a well-developed sense of humor have stronger immune systems, less stress, and healthier attitudes about the challenges in their lives. So LAUGH!r

We all have mentors and role models in our lives. We see character traits in people that we admire and strive to emulate them. When we are young, we tend to look up to older siblings or teenagers in the spotlight. As we get older, our goals shift a little. When I think back about who has influenced me over the years many people come to mind. One person in particular is my Great Grandmother. She was an amazing, classy and beautiful woman. I still think about the many values that she instilled in me. She will forever be part of who I am.

Every four years or so, voting fever builds up to a crescendo in most democratic countries. All the different political parties frantically brush the cobwebs and dust off their stock of usual campaign promises (still unused from previous elections) and recycle them to try, yet again, to charm (or con) the voters into voting for them this time around. Two friends one an ardent socialist, the other a committed capitalist were arguing. “So,” challenged the capitalist, “if you had two houses, as a true socialist you should give me one, right? Would you?” “Of course!”r

In our radically changing world we always have the choice to either feel as though we are a helpless victim or an empowered victor. Life can challenge us in so many ways that making a positive decision when we are faced with hardship or sorrow can be impossible at times if we choose to believe so. We are bombarded with so much negativity in the media these days that a viscous cycle often occurs providing us little hope of changing our circumstances or finding motivation to make our lives better.

Emotions do play a very important and tangible role in your healing process. There are certain emotions like feeling hopeless or helpless that have been shown to depress the immune response. Emotional stress can also disrupt hormonal balance in the body which can result in the increased production of abnormal cells. The combination of an increased number of abnormal cells coupled with a weakened immune response is a situation that we want to avoid at all costs.

Every day, people by the millions pour food from a package into their pet’s bowl. Day in and day out, meal after meal, pets get the same fare. This strange phenomenon is widely practiced by loving pet owners who believe they are doing the right thing. Why? Certainly because it is ...

Everybody has a hero or two in their lives. I remember one of my first heroes was Curly from The Three Stooges. My standards were not quite high back then, but I thought he was a big little boy who was having the best time when Moe was not clumping him over the head. He’d brush himself off and ...

The song lyrics in “Joy to the World” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” say it all. Christmas is meant to be a season of cheer and happiness. Funnily enough, though, we women sometimes look for this feeling of joy in all the wrong places. Who else has a mental checklist that sounds something like this: • Find the perfect holiday party dress that disguises certain key areas rn• Shrink said key areas by hitting the gym and pounding back smoothiesrn•

Do you know you could be consciously worrying yourself into bankruptcy? Or ill health? Or an unhappy family life? Or even worse? 18th Century British statesman, Charles James Fox, was notorious for his support of the French Revolution (that is, until it became clear that Napoleon was planning to invade Britain), his passion for gambling, his dissolute lifestyle – and his sharp wit.

Complaints. Complaints, complaining, complained. Now, if you’re wondering why I’ve written the word ‘complain’ so many times in different ways then that’s just because I’m trying to prove a point. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Oh no! She’s going to start complaining about people who complain! Quickly exit this page!” Well, don’t worry. I’m not here to nag you about how complaining is wrong and how it’s ‘not nice’ and everything, because sadl

As women we truly believe that we can do anything which is true but we get lost in trying to do everything. We are trying to fill so many roles, those of our past and those of the future we want. For those women in the baby boomer era, they are dealing with a lot of confusion and guilt – who are they, what is it that they truly want. Many in that era were brought up with learning how to cook, clean, do laundry, look after the house, sew, look after everyone’s needs..... Our mothers did it all, even if they worked. So then we must too.

This way you can bring more joy and happiness into the lives of those around you. If you missed Part One, go back and take a look and try it.

Feels good to have the wind in your hair, doesn’t it? Step Two: We are still working on you.

“I will believe in you every day of my life.” As told to ET by Elliot. About a week ago I woke up in the middle of the night and heard someone say, “Why don’t you write about me?” I was pretty sure I recognized that voice. The ...

The term falling in love consists of two energetically opposite words, one that takes you down and one that takes you up. Falling is a word that describes an unpleasant action that can endanger our physical survival. It is an undesirable state. It has a negative connotation and represents a situation over which we have no control and that could potentially end in physical pain. Love is a word that describes the highest expression of feelings beyond mind and reasoning. In its

“Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a blessing” (Psalms 127:3). The Holy Bible calls upon us to love, cherish and protect children for they are blessings to their families and to society. Despite this biblical call, child abuse and child violence continue to plague world societies and children continue to be victims of abuse in its various forms.

According to the National Safety Council, there is one death every 16 minutes due to an accident in the home and a serious occurs 4 seconds in the home due to poisonings, suffocation, falls or fire related injuries. It's easy to see the importance of home safety. You may think your home is perfectly safe. After all, you come and go all the time and nothing major has ever happened. If you take a moment to really evaluate the safety of your home, however, you may be surprised a

Opportunity only knocks once, right? Wrong! What sheer nonsense! Opportunity knocks hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times in a lifetime. We just have to be aware enough, and “tuned in” enough to recognize what Opportunity is offering us each time it knocks. Patrick, a deeply religious man, was watching TV in his lounge when it began to rain. As he listened to the sound of the rain on the roof of his house, it grew louder and louder, until it became a thundering, deafening roar with wind howling outside.

You’re annoyed with yourself. Very. Downright angry, now that you think about it. You vowed last month you’d stick to your diet and slim down for the summer, and here you are, berating yourself over that double fudge extravaganza you pigged out on last night. Which wouldn’t be so bad except for the caramel-vanilla ice cream delight you fell prey to the week before. And oh! There’s that whipped cream strawberry confection that the love of your life insisted you share with him

When we are living unaware of ourselves, we have a tendency to stay stuck in the past and ruminate over past mistakes we made. Retelling stories that are unchangeable is self-defeating; holding you back from a balanced and healthier life. ("Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys"...Rita Schiano) Worrying and creating a worse case scenario future is also debilitating. ("Every time we use the present to stress about the futu

elizabeth: As a life coach, I do ask my clients if they are open minded enough to ask the universe questions before they go to sleep at night. I tell them at night their brains are quieter and the grey matter can regroup and consider their requests.

When I talk about making life changes, I like to specify that I’m talking about real change—permanent, lasting change, not a quick fix or something you do for a while and then revert to the old ways. The fact is, making serious change in your life can be a lot like going on a diet—you do it for a while, then you stop doing what worked, and you go back to the status quo. I know that it doesn’t have to be that way, because I’ve changed my own life drastically.

As I look back on 2015, I think "Wow! What an amazing year!" Yes, it had some challenges and disappointments. No, my income wasn't as high as I had planned.

From time to time people have wondered why reading is important. There seem so many other things to do with one's time. Reading is important for a variety of reasons. We will look at few of reasons in this blog, but it is important to realize that struggling with vital reading skills is not a sign of low intelligence. Many highly intelligent people have struggled with reading; although, when properly taught, most people can learn to read easily and quickly. Sally Dasouki , Me

One of my favorite Point of Grace songs (and my absolute favorite until recently), "How You Live," makes the case that what matters is not what you do or who you know, but how you live. Now, I absolutely believe that. In fact, I've recently given up my freelance writing career to write and teach others how to become the person they want to be, the person they were put here to be. Still, I sometimes find myself thinking, or even saying, "It's just not that easy." And it's not.

Age-ism: Don’t buy into it. We must mentally re-wire our thinking to continue our journey of aging in the best way possible. Understand the importance of how we perceive our own aging process, especially in context with how others perceive us. It’s never too late to start thinking ‘ageless’, after all, age is just a number. Read the advice of those who know: Don’t accept it. Don’t excuse it.r

When I ask people what they do, most say, “I am electrician”, I am a cleaner” or “I am and accountant”. Many people identify themselves with their profession or their job title. But there is a lot more to a job than that and if we can start to think differently about what we do, perhaps we can come to appreciate it more, or we can work out what else we should be doing instead.

What are regrets exactly? I think I’ve come to a place in life where I don’t believe in them….don’t buy into or sign up for them. After all, I love my life today. And the road I’ve traveled to get here has made me who I am. So yes, mistakes have been aplenty but each one has gotten me here, to this place that I am today that is perfect for me. I completely believe in the plan that God has for me and I know that He loves me unconditionally. I am where I am because of decisions that I have made, good and bad, and because of where God has led. It has been a long process for me.

Job interviews can be stressful experiences. Candidates often become flustered or nervous while answering fairly basic questions involving job history or personal values. While this is a normal reaction (employrs expect a small amount of nervousness) it can make or break your chances of being hired. Employers want to see three things from a prospective employee: confidence, intelligence, and initiative. Recruitment agencies report that the best way to embody all of these trai

We all end up with too much clutter in our homes from time to time. The problem is, how do you get rid of all that clutter and have a more organized home, and life? Sometimes, decluttering your home can seem like a daunting task that you keep putting off because it is so overwhelming. The problem is, this is not helping, and you only end up with more clutter because you bring in new stuff without getting rid of the old stuff first. So, today we are going to look at how easy i

“When building a house of cards it is important not to let your own fart-storm topple it.” Livingston Ashcroft “Flip” Bellingus (1893 - ) When I was a boy of about 10 I did something that was not very cool. I did it with malice of forethought and with the intention to deceive, although I believed that a legal technicality would protect me from any consequences. I’ve always been of the entrepreneurial spirit. And as a lad I was a reader. I liked mystery books and DC comics.
