The day my life changed!

The Day My Life Changed! It was turning out to be a great Fourth of July weekend. I was having a great time camping. Spending quality time with family members that I don’t get to see as often as I would like too. I was looking forward to the rest of the weekend as I went to bed July 1st. I awoke on Saturday feeling ready for the day ahead. I went out on a four-wheeler and my niece Kourtney followed behind with her Four Wheeler. It had been the first time I have ever drove a four wheeler so my

Ties that Bind

I have no idea how it started or who launched it. Nevertheless years after all of the women in my family died (they were the initiators of all of our major family events and thingamajigs. After the demise of these women our family unit was left largely comprised of men). In recent years, I started paying attention to remarks that I’d heard growing up and today continually heard from other family members about how our family is considerably dissimilar or substantially distant from each other

Social Interaction in the Age of the Internet

While the global messaging possibilities made available by e-mail and Internet access can put us in touch with fellow humans the world over, many of us are finding ourselves left feeling lonely and isolated by the rush and brevity of electronic exchanges. Furthermore, the anonymity of chat rooms, and e-groups can lead to a tendency to embellish the truth, or even invent a different identity altogether, with many chatters around the world re-inventing themselves from their income to their vital s

The big S word

It has been proven that Losing a husband or wife, losing a child, and moving house are at the top of the list when it comes to stress causing situations in one’s life. In a span of six years I lost my farther to cancer, Got Married, Had a beautiful Baby boy, Got divorced, Moved house, quit my job, fell in love and got hurt once again. Everyone that met me in the last year cannot actually believe that I am still standing, by the way nor could I. I have my good days and I have my great days, and

The Art of Loving and Living

Survivor of Abuse

Degraded and feeling inadequate you go on. Afraid to leave—afraid of being followed and stalked—afraid you will be destroyed completely. Feeling you will always be in this abusive situation—there is no way out—you want to call it quits for good. Based on my own personal experiences of abuse, I know what it’s like to be a victim of abuse. I felt at one point I couldn’t go on. I felt alone and that there was no other way out but to end it all. I had no fight left and gave up. Luckily I

Living by Design

The beauty of that truth is that there is always something we can do, something we can change and some way in which we can move forward; and all it takes are two basic skills that we learned before we could walk – to pay attention and to take action. Babies soon learn that noticing things and acting in direct response is what gets results. As adults, those of us who keep these two basic principles alive and active are the ones best equipped to go with the flow in life and make some advanci

While Einstein represents the best in science(Physics), Mahatma Gandhi was the greatest spiritual man of the s

Life Lessons From Hurricane Katrina

During the past couple of weeks, like many millions of other people around the world I spent a lot of time watching the horrific events taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana, unable and unwilling to believe that what I was seeing was actually taking place in the United States of America. And though we often forget most big disasters after just a few weeks, I think that people will be talking about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina for a long time to come. Like many other people, as the disas

How to be Successful in Life, Dating, and Business

A big question. I am sure that everybody on this planet would like to know the answer to that. A few years ago, I worked for a British time share company. I am sure that right now there are many people twisting their faces: “time share? Oh. No! “. I agree – But this is not the point of this article. While I was working there, I took some intern course in body language and “The art of sales”. Since then EVERYTHING i want to “sale”, I manage to. By saying everything, i mean business,
