A friend emailed me to vent her frustrations about a particularly nasty email she got along with a refund request for an ebook the assailant had purchased from her. Doing business online makes us a target for all sorts of nut jobs – and if you attempt to do anything – sell or give away [...]
Tonight while talking with a client, I questioned her goal to earn $3-5 Million dollars in the next few years. What was driving her to that number? She mentioned growing up poor, and how she had always felt that a lot of money in the bank would allay the fear that quiet threat might cause.

I was a weird kid.
I had issues before having issues was even cool. Now, I have an issue about how early my issues began, but my therapist says it’s not so much an issue any longer. I’m not so sure.

Rodney works for FEMA – a highly clandestine X-Files type black helicopter ops type gig for the super-smart uuber geeks. I’m pretty sure he knows both Mulder and Scully, though [...]

Unfliltered, this barrage can throw you off track and make you feel depressed.
But the real SECRET is not your circumstances, it is that your [...]
Last night I was blown away by one of the most surprisingly wonderful motion pictures. Ghost Town looked like a light and funny romp and I love Greg Kinnear and Tea Leoni so I bought my ticket and salted my popcorn.
There were only about 20 people in the theater on a Tuesday night so I [...]
