Women and their friends
Watching the movie The Women with Meg Ryan was a pleasure as the innocence in the part that Meg Ryan played was refreshing as she encountered her husband wanting a divorce while she thought they had a wonderful marriage. There was friendship, betrayal and in the end forgiveness, and the everlasting alliance that will often have to endure the storms in order to survive the old saying “friends for life”. A new expression “keep it in the vault” became a future phrase for me as I …

Women and Intimacy with their partners
Describing intimacy versus sex is a sensitive subject for men and women not because anyone’s embarrassed, women understand it and secretly regret they don’t have it in their marriage or relationship, men think it’s sex want it all the time, and fail to realize both are a necessary in order to satisfy their partners. Therefore, to help both sexes recognize the difference between getting laid and having an intimate encounter made me decide to share some thoughts I had regarding this subject.
Intimacy is having …

I watch television with a heavy heart as the news is covering what might be the discovery of the body of the young girl who went missing while innocently jogging near her home in San Diego. I was heartsick this morning when I watched her devastated parents and my heart aches for them. Losing a child to illness or an accident is unthinkable, the pain is unimaginable. Losing a child to violence in this way is beyond comprehension. I feel puzzled, sad and downright angry …

At SeaWorld this week, Dawn Brancheau, a 40-year-old orca trainer, was pulled underwater by a 12,000-pound killer whale in front of an audience during a show. It turns out that this whale was involved in two other deaths in the past. This makes me so sad and makes me wonder, why does it seem that the right choices are not made in our world today because making money is all important?
Did the operators think about the luster of money coming in more than the safety of this …

So, what’s up?
It’s been a few days since I’ve posted on our site, I wouldn’t call it writers block, I’d say there’s been too much going on in my life and I can’t decide what to write about, I’ve started about ten different posts and none of them made me happy so I deleted them and turned off the computer thus, today I’m making this short to say I’m here and will write something important soon in the meantime here’s some of things I’ve been doing while not writing on …

For the Love of Family
How often do we say I wish I had spent more time with my family and then another week or month pass by and you think again, no this time I’m going to do it and you never do.
Thus, the story of our lives, we move on do our thing and time passes and you never do what’s really important to you, instead you tread water and get through the days, weeks, months, and yes sometimes years without taking that time to interact with family. …

I plopped down on the sofa to watch the evening news. I’d been in meetings all day and was not up to speed on the day’s happenings when the story came on about an Olympic athlete and the luge. They were talking about the fact that he died, the news was shocking to me. But what shocked me to the point of disbelief was the footage that immediately followed of the young athlete, Nodar Kumaritashvili. The footage showed him rounding the corner of the luge …

Are you really here forever?

Every time, I see the commercial for selling expensive jewelry or Hallmark Cards, where the man looks into the eyes of his lover and says I’ll be here forever, I wonder is it true or do the new statistics reflect relationships don’t last as long as we think. The words seem to fit when we say them, and then we grow apart heading in different directions and after five or ten years the breakups are not always nice and most of the time it’s the kids …

 A friend of mine casually mentioned the other day that she was using speedating, a website, to “date.” You get a few minutes to “meet” the other person, on camera. You then decide to meet them or not.
Simple, quick, easy. No commitments. No embarassment. Little risk.
Another friend of mine met her husband-to-be on a web dating site and yet another met his girlfriend (it’s now very serious) on a web dating site.
And then at lunch yet ANOTHER friend told me SHE was using an online dating service!
It used to be …

OK, so while we’re on the subject of knowing about things our kids and grandkids love…let’s talk about Lady Gaga.
It all started with a little buzz over this bleach blonde girl singing a “Let’s Dance” disco tune…then more buzz about the song “Pppppppoker Face PPPPoker Face.”
And then KABOOOOOOM! The whole world is Goo Goo for LADY GAGA!!!!
Her fashions, outrageous, her stage shows, irreverently amazing, her music, catchy as hell….but here’s the thing:
She’s only 23 years old.
She has PIPES, I mean, this girl can SING.
And write music.
And play …
