Needing to be Heard

I am incredibly frustrated with the lack of real communication between my hubby and me. We talk all the time but he really does not hear me nor does he want to. By not hearing me he can keep up with his boyish antics as he runs to yoga 7 days a week and goes [...]

Making a Difference

Some people work a job to pay the bills. They slog into the office at the prescribed time, maybe even a few minutes late, punch a clock, literally or metaphorically, and sit behind a desk until the clock says it’s time to leave. Those people complain about their lives. They lament their situation, they hate [...]

Taxing Sinful Foods: Good Idea or Bad Idea?

Recently, the Obama administration called for a total ban on candy and soda in the nation’s schools. States are beginning to impose “sin taxes” on fat and sugar to dissuade people from eating junk food. Pricing strategies may well be a key to changing behavior, but others favor subsidies over punitive taxes, as a way [...]

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness [...]

Are You Ready to Dazzle!

Beautiful smile of a young woman

Dentistry has come a long way from the days when a female patient would ask “How can I make my teeth look whiter?” with the reply being “Wear dark, red lipstick!” Today, just as many men inquire about teeth bleaching as women, and age does not make a difference. Teenagers ask as soon as their [...]

Tension in the Sky

Returning from Florida on Sunday, I boarded the plane, carryon placed above and took my seat. An elderly man walked on with his 20 something son. He kindly asked the man already sitting in the row of three seats if he wouldn’t mind giving him the aisle seat for his son since he obviously had [...]
