Did He/She 'Ghost' You?
Sometimes people just disappear from our live without saying "Goodbye." It can happen to anyone really. This situation can trigger lots of negative feelings and thoughts. We tend to feel guilty and try to find what we might have done "wrong" to upset that person.

When It's Time to Say NO
I remember the first time I told another person "no" when they fully expected me to say yes. There was a moment of silence before I said it, a moment of truth for me to see what I was made of, and then bang! Before I knew it the word "no" just rolled off my tongue, and suddenly I felt very powerful. My heart slowed down, and I stood a little taller, squaring my shoulders as I did. Mildred, the woman to whom I had just told no, had been using me for a long time. She left her two toddler sons with me for what was supposed to be an hour, and turned into four hours. She always had some emergency and needed me to watch the boys. I have raised my children, and I am not very maternal anyhow, so the last job on earth I want to tackle is babysitting.

Should I Trust My New Boyfriend Who Cheated on Two of His Ex-GFs?
Should I trust my new boyfriend who cheated on two of his ex-girlfriends? To some people, this question is a no-brainer because they just wouldn’t go. There. Period. After all, “once a cheater always a cheater,” has been one of the most popular cliches ever!

Don't Be a Hobby!
For the ones that are unhappy, that feel unattended, not loved. For the ones that like a guy, and try to put his needs above yours... without getting equal time, availability, or treatment.

RelationSHIP or RelationSHIT
So you have been with your husband, wife, partner, or significant other for five years, 10 years, 20 years, and counting. Is that a good thing? Why do you stay? Are you happy and fulfilled in the relationSHIP, or is it a relationSHIT? I have certainly experienced both in my lifetime.

Stage 5 Clinger
Women. Do you ever run away from something that could be great when the guy is showing that he is SUPER into you? Do you ever feel pressured, or scared, and instantaneously think that you're not good enough. Do you feel that your freedom is about to be whisked away from under your feet... The minute women solemnly "like" a guy, this is EXACTLY how men feel. And don't you think, if the relationship succeeds, you very quickly lose yourself after you automatically go into the "care-for-him-mode". Let me say this. He doesn't need caring. He is grown. How do you think he got to the age he is now? And paying rent and working a job? He doesn't need you coming into his life and being his mother. He already has one of those, and I can tell you now he's definitely not looking for another! Most importantly do you really want to completely loose yourself—worth and soul—only five months into this "relation-shit"?? And then spend another year after you break-up trying to find that person who you used to be—all over again?

The Difference a Mattress Can Make in Your Marriage. Top Story - August 2019. Created with: Lull.
If you’re an active adult, you’re bound to recognize the value of a good night’s sleep. At the very least, you’re likely familiar with the consequences of a not-so-great night’s sleep—you toss and turn at night, and everything is thrown off-balance. You’re crankier. You’re less productive at work. You’re more easily frustrated by the “little things.”
