      When our homes become cluttered other aspects of our lives tend to feel gridlocked too. Clutter is both a symptom and a cause of stuck energy.

      A large number of people do meet and date through work. After all, we spend at least eight hours a day with people we are paid to be with in a place that we often daydream about leaving. I have heard that more people die on Monday mornings than any other time. You often hear people exclaiming ...

      Ladies, it might interest you to know that few men who say they are not ready for a relationship really mean it that way. Though it may be hard to accept, if they feed you that line, it really means that they are not fully interested in you! When a guy is interested in you, he will call, no matte...

      I remember when I was in the tenth grade. There was a boy who sat next to me in English class. Whenever he would walk in, my heart would start racing like crazy.

      I remember listening to the radio on my way home from work about a year ago. I was listening to a controversial “shock jock” called Tom Leykis. You either love him or hate him. He tells it like it is about men and women. One thing he said that night reminded me of when I was single and dating...

     People tend to equate the “wrong places” to look for love as a bar or a nightclub. I have heard lots of people say “I don’t go to bars” or “I would never consider dating someone that I met in a nightclub.” A bar or a nightclub could be the wrong place or the right place depending on ...

      I was watching the Tyra show recently and she interviewed a guest who is a male companion. Garren James, a certified hunk, owns a company called Cowboys 4 Angels. With the popularity of the HBO series, Hung, women are starting to ponder whether hiring a companion for the evening or weekend shoul...

    Given all the millions of people and possibilities in the world, where does one go to find a soul mate? How about the supermarket? Lurking in the frozen food section? Fondling the fruits?
