Have you ever been shocked by the behavior that some folks display during funerals?  All those inconsolable men and women who seem totally unable to handle the passing of a loved one; a loved one they would take for granted and treat with much disrespect when he or she...

Does sex scare the hell out of you?

Is blaming others for the consequences of your choices kind of la

Do you know anyone around you who loves to systematically put the blame on others?  They are the ones who make decisions without thinking for a minute about the consequences that their choices can create.  They tend to be impulsive and they have the utter necessity...

An article for men only

Living/acting out of fear is NOT an option

This article is as much for me as any man/woman out there who's afraid to approach 'the one they love'. The more you care about someone, the more afraid you are of rejection. If you don't care, then you're never afraid. If you are unsure about someone, use that as your guide...
