Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Overweight in todays world ... (we're people, too): 2 of 12
Well you wouldn't know it by some of the actions, comments, and behaviors of those who don't worry about their weight that we are people also that is. Generally speaking it appears on the surface that those of us who are not within the normal spectrum as it is defined today must not be people, may not be even fully human oth... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Interracial couples and acceptance issues: 2 of 12
The thing that has always puzzled me most about the interracial debate is the idea that there is a debate at all. Are we not all a single race? The human race? Is not the defining criterion of humanity that we all walk upright and have opposing thumbs? That we in fact are able to reproduce with one another thus proving that ... More..
Travel > Vacations Best of 2008: Vacation destinations: 4 of 23
I am all about white sands and waters that blend of Cerulean, Azure, and Maya Blues. I admit to a weakness for the sun, the sound of waves lapping the beach is one of my favorites, and my knees grow weak at the scent and feel of the sea breeze of the Caribbean. This is my idea of the perfect vacation setting. This along with... More..
Relationships & Family > Domestic Violence & Abuse Why do women tolerate abuse from their men?: 13 of 71
First, let me say that I am a survivor of an extremely abusive first marriage. The abuse in that marriage covered the gamut including emotional, psychological, physical, and financial. That relationship nearly killed me and certainly left me broken in body and spirit. My survival and eventual recovery was a very long road th... More..
Relationships & Family > Married Life What wives want from husbands: 14 of 76
This is so simple and yet so complex at the same time. As a marriage grows and matures so do the people within it. What wives want in the early years changes as time goes on, sometimes morphing into something new and other times simply expanding into broader versions of the old. What do wives want from husbands? Life Partner... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: I'm the black sheep of the family: 10 of 53
I am the Black Sheep of my rather extended family, rather I am just the hard one to explain. I am the one that doesn't fit anywhere comfortably. I am the one that is hard to ignore but easy to explain away. I am the one that is well, "adopted" and that just says it all right there. It is an explanation for my differences bot... More..
Jobs & Careers > Career Path & Goals How to prepare to relocate to a new job: 1 of 5
There are some things in life that can either be viewed as an unpleasant necessity in which case no amount of preparation will make them less daunting or they can be viewed as an adventure in which case with a bit of planning they can be both fun and exciting. I have spent most of my adult life relocating in some cases simpl... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Are personal morals decaying?: 1 of 5
Are we truly a moral society, have we ever been so and are we more or less than in years past? This is the question that has plagued every generation and one that is nearly always answered that we are less so today than in previous decades. What changes so dramatically between generations that would cause this marked decline... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Self-Healing The key ingredients for grasping a second chance in life: 60 of 282
Life is full of stumbling blocks some big and some small. Some we create for ourselves by the choices we make; some are simply part of life itself, a matter of providence or destiny. The only thing to do once we have fallen down is rise back up; first to our knees and then to standing erect. Railing at the world does us no g... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Political Values Does American society ignore the rights of its citizens?: 2 of 9
This is an odd question to answer as there are many ways in which to answer it. Is the question really one of legal standards, social behavior, or individual behavior? If it is a case of group or individual behavior then it cannot be answered with a survey of current trends in law and legal standards. The issue of group or i... More..
