If you asked me last week if I’d be upset when my cat passed away, I would’ve said I’d been fine; it’s just a cat.

The Lost Art of Saying “Thank You”
When I was a kid, I loved the movie Ernest Saves Christmas (it’s crazy what we think is cool as kids).

Women are more complex because, as I noted last week, they can be the nicest or meanest people you meet. To add to … [Read more...]
The 5 Types of Women (Pt 3: Differences between men & women)
Understanding how men and women are different can save a relationship because it helps give us fair expectations of each other.
