Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Are you married? Do you have kids? Those are the two most asked questions a woman in her 30s and younger are asked these days. All the time. There aren’t any questions about whether we love our careers or are we even happy with our lives. Those questions are hardly if ever ...
I've heard many times from folks, on TV, etc that "people don't change" --- that down in their core they're always going to remain the same. If they're stubborn, they will remain that way. If they're selfish, they won't adapt to the positive. To some extent I believe that to be true. If someone has ...
There was a day, when a friend jeopardized our friendship by creating distance through unanswered calls, little to no texts, and not even the regular holiday or birthday messages. It's unfortunate when friendships fade, but what happens when that person tries to re-enter your life? Do you let them? In my opinion, it depends on the ...

I am not just talking about the garbage under your sink (well maybe that too) I am talking about the garbage you have allowed (yes, allowed… because we do ugh) in your life. What is the garbage?

It sucks our energy, and part of ourselves each day. But how much is enough? And ...
Why are regrets such a pain...? Regrets take up time and toxic energy. They make us self doubt and self blame ourselves for things that are no longer ours to control. They're already in the past. It's time to move on. Regrets consume us, and take us away from priorities and better times that could bring us ...
Well let's think for a second....lifetime movies are typically a little outrageous whether it's psychotic nanny, jealous significant other, kidnappers, and so many other crazy scenarios you dream will never be something you encounter or live through yourself. And then there's Hallmark...a cycle of love stories told from one inn owner or cupcake maker to a ...
As the saying goes "when one door closes, another open", or even a "window." That's pretty great because who wants to keep waiting for the closed door to open again? But can we help ourselves? Sometimes we wish it would crack just a little to let part of us back in, even just a window. ...
