Are you one of those people who love to exercise, the kind who thinks about it but doesn't quite do it, or one who believes exercise involves lifting the spoonful of ice cream into your mouth?

Is exercise fun for you, or do you view it as a chore?

If the statistics are true and one out of every two marriages ends in divorce, it can be inferred that within those marriages there are children who are the victims of the divorce.

In my career and personal experience, I have seen "healthy divorces" and also "unhealthy"...

According to The Americans for Divorce Reform it is estimated that 40 or possibly 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce. This means one in two couples will break their vows.

Given this trend, I am not surprised that the soon to be divorcee seeks out my help, looking...

Have you ever thought about the concept of generosity and what qualifies someone to be generous? If you think about the generous people in your life, what makes them generous? Is he or she generous with his or her money? Time? Patience?

Furthermore, when you think about this particular...

Do you remember a time when you really trusted? It seems contemporary life is fraught with reasons not to trust. Politicians, who were elected by those believing they could be trusted, follow other political agendas or are caught flying to foreign lands with their mistresses. Banks that were entrusted with...

Who are you? Are you the person everyone wants you to be, or the person you want to be? Do you feel trapped in the image that you thought you had to create to be loved or valued?

Are you the serious one? The funny one? The smart one? What...

Valentine's Day, it seems, was created for us to take at least one day out of the year to profess how much we love our family, friends or partners.... especially, partners. You would think this day would be a glorious one--like Halloween, for instance, where children are anticipating how they...

Remember being a child? Remember running home or playing in the playground and discovering that you could do something new? "Look at me!" you shouted. "Look at me!" If you look closely at yourself, you may discover you are still doing it. You still want to be seen -- to...

How often do you get upset when someone doesn't comply with your expectations?
How often do you get upset with yourself for not doing something better?

Look closely at your expectations of yourself and others. Think about the last time or the last person that caused you disappointment...

Transitions are inevitable. Sometimes, the prospect of making a transition is exciting, but more often, it can be scary.

How do you handle transitions, especially when you feel you are being forced into making a change? Like when you are being forced out of your home because you cannot pay...

We all have the right to feel angry.

We are taught, however, that anger is "bad" and that you "shouldn't be angry". Have you ever felt angry or resentful but have been unable to express it? Perhaps you were fearful of what the consequences may be.

Have you ever sat in a busy airport or train station and just people-watched? It doesn't have to be a busy place, actually.

The other day, I met a colleague for a business lunch at a nearby restaurant. As we were having our meeting, I became a...

One would think that I could manage to stay away from my computer for at least 24 hours in gay Paris, but no....Like millions of others in the world, I could not travel without my laptop this recent trip to Paris, France and Essen, Germany. As life would have it,...

You either feel good, or you don't. Life is either moving smoothly, or it isn't. You either have what you need, or you don't. You either think you are enough or have enough, or you don't

When you don't, you are in stress.

...

When was the last time you could not or did not speak your truth? When you either said the wrong thing in anger or said nothing at all from fear?

You no doubt spent the rest of the day muttering to yourself the things you should have said or...

What do you do when it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel? When everything is in doubt and life's possibilities seem empty? When you watch world events transpire over which you have no control and film and music idols, once seemingly immortal, senselessly succumb...

The problem is that every time you deny yourself of something,...
