Once upon a time, before we had…knowledge, we had instincts to tell us what to do. Today, some of them still serve a purpose (It would be hard to teach a newborn baby how to eat). But I think that some of our instincts are simply outdated and do more harm than good. [...]

It’s somber day for my daughter and I as we mourn the loss of our beloved cat. We both knew that this day was coming. We adopted Faith a little over a year ago and she was already fourteen years old. But it doesn’t matter how much you prepare for the loss [...]

I’m almost certain that Tiffany held back on her post about the “alleged” ten reasons that you shouldn’t date (Or, as I like to call it, “How the Grinch stole dating”). I’m sure she can think of way more than ten. Like, Your date happens to fall on a day that ends with the [...]

“It’s not you, it’s me”. That has the stigma of being a lie used to let someone down easily. But there may be a lot more truth to that classic line than you realize. Breaking up is typically not easy. At least not for the person who is being dumped. The person [...]

I would assume that over fifty percent of all relationships end. I base this assumption on the divorce rate and the fact that not all relationships lead to marriage. So, at some point, someone decides that they want out. This is a tough area for me with my “I can make it work” [...]

Of course, she just wasn’t that into me. But, the reason for that is what I think is the more interesting part. I wasn’t what she was used to. She wasn’t used to being around someone who didn’t “need” her for something. She didn’t know what to do with that. How do you feel [...]

Tiffany,
I can’t help but notice that some people have a difficult time making decisions in life if they are faced with too many choices. They delay the decision making process to carefully weight the pros and cons, putting off making a final decision in case something better comes along. Ultimately what ends up happening is [...]
