Oops, I did it again!
I’ve been having some difficulty in a close friendship of mine. This person and I have been friends for about eight years and just in the last six months, things seem to have gotten pretty challenging.
In fact, the other night, I sat on the floor with my back to the wall [...]

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
You may have heard this quote by Marianne Williamson a lot in the last few years. It hit me at a deep level when I heard it in the movie Akeelah and the Bee four or so [...]

So you’ve decided to get some help and consult a professional. That’s a great first step, but…now what?!
Most of us go through years of spelunking and soul-searching to find a romantic partner or a best friend. And now you’re looking for someone that you may be confiding in even more. How are you supposed to [...]

I have a confession to make.
I love movies. Not in a classy way, like loving cinema or indie films, but straight-up, main-stream popcorn-chugging flicks. Other people are audiophiles or literary snobs; I’m a major studio movie freak.
