The poor kid was probably just the victim of too much red ink from some past English teacher. Almost without fail, I find that that student has a lot of promise as a writer and needs only a little tweaking of his or her writing. Educated people ...

What is the Universal Law of Attraction? by Rebecca Hanson The Universal Law of Attraction states: We attract whatever we choose to give our attention to--whether wanted or unwanted. Most of the time, we attract by 'default' rather than by deliberate choice. We just sort of go through our day, focusing on problems that need to be solved or on things that did not feel good nor seem right. In so doing, we are actually creating more problems, more of what does not feel good and more of what does not seem right. Think of yourself as a huge magne ...

I like it when things in my world are stable and reliable. For example, my home is my sanctuary. I live here, and I work here. I like it to reflect peace, order and beauty, so when a messy remodeling project was underway - like the recent replacement of a water-damaged bathroom ceiling - it affected me.

COURAGE AND THE AGONY OF COACHING EMPLOYEES by CMOE Development Team Coaching employees on sensitive and personal topics like performance or contribution to the organization can be as difficult and agonizing as telling a young son or daughter about sex for the first time. You end up playing the same mental games in your head over and over again: “What should they be told? How much do they already know? (Or how much do they want me to think they know?)

What Do You Really, Really, Really Want? by Damien Senn If the 90s British pop sensation 'the Spice Girls' ever get remembered for anything, I hope it's for bringing the question 'now tell me what you want, what you really, really want?' to the mass consciousness Now you may laugh at this, but when you really, really think about it, is there a more important question you could ask yourself?

Body Acceptance: The Secret to Weight Loss Success by Dr. Annette Colby, RD Can we love our bodies? As the years go by, each decade brings new and unexpected changes.
