Written by contributing blogger, Sonia Sahota. Hello 2019! How in the world did that happen? It feels like just the other day it was 2014. As we ring in the New Year, we are all looking for ways to better ourselves and create resolutions that we will actually stick to. This year, I decided I ...
A year of giving
Holidays come and go, but they aren't the only to remember and give back to those who need help from others. Giving is a year round present for those who need us. I used to give once a year (Christmas time) to the ASPCA as my one large sum donation. Animals (as most of you ...
How will you react?
Unfortunately, when I sit and observe (which I do often)...not because I'm quiet or have nothing to say, but it allows me to gain a perspective on the room, and who people are first. I realize sometimes (trying not to generalize here), people relate the conversation at hand told by the other person too much ...

What Does It Mean to Have Confidence?
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. The title of this post is based off of a conversation I was recently having with someone about what it means to be confident. Of course, (as I am sure most women do) we were talking about it in the context of the opposite sex. But having confidence isn’t just about ...
Is a birthday really that important?
Some people don't like to make a fuss about their birthday and sometimes let it slide under the radar. While others may go as far as a birthday month and have festivities throughout.
