You can do all these things by creating your own list of goals. You can call it a life list, or you can call i...
Relationships & Family > Friendship Issues & Advice What is friendship?: 4 of 95

Friendship is... a close bond between two or more people. There is nothing in this world more valuable than having someone who cares about you. When it's three a.m. and the world seems like it is going to end, you can always call a friend. They'll probably grumble, tell you to go back to bed, and show up at your door a few h...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My wedding disaster: 1 of 15

There is nothing worse a bride can hear the night before her wedding than the preacher declaring, "I'm sorry I can't marry you." My heart didn't just sink, it fell to the floor. For days before we prepared. The hall we rented had to be scrub,decorated, and catered. Family came from four different states to attend. Sleeping a...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My mother's kitchen: 4 of 51

My mother's kitchen was worn with age. In the old farm house, where we lived and played. She kept it nice and tidy. The glasses always washed. Not a plate out of place. On the old red linoleum floors. I did roller skate. I learned to bake a cake. Without a book, without any taste. There I watched from the window, my sisters ...

Only 46% of women prefer to look younger, according to a survey by the research team of Olay Total Products. Over 80% of women survey...
Relationships & Family > Marriage Psychology Marriage: What do you deserve in a relationship?: 1 of 10

Too many times couples enter into marriage under the wrong pretenses. Each person thinks they deserve to get more out of their relationship than the other can realistically give to them. Misconceptions are formed and assumed that the more you put into a relationship the more you will get in return. Unfortunately, it doesn't ...

Its months before your wedding, and you have everything picked out. Everything that is, except for the wedding cake.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Child Development Issues Are imaginary friends good for children?: 4 of 27

Three years ago, my daughter introduced us to her friend Maya. We had moved to a new town, another state, and hadn't yet unpacked all the boxes. Yet, here I was one morning standing in my kitchen with spatula in hand staring blankly at my three year old. She had just informed me her friend Maya would be joining us for breakf...
Computers & Technology > Computer Maintenance How to clean your computer: 2 of 13

You've been working all night on a report due the next morning, but when one of the keys presses down with no return, you are literally stuck in the middle of your report. A half empty cup of coffee sits nearby with a plate full of cookies on the other. You know, from memorization, where the keys are for typing. Some time lo...
Relationships & Family > Love & Relationships Remembering your first kiss: 2 of 12

His name was Greg. I can still remember it now, the fireworks, the dark, and the sneaking behind the shed at the ball field. Of course the fireworks were going off in the sky, not as a result of two clumsy teenagers groping for each other in the dark. It was both scary and exciting at the same time. The thrill of anticipatio...
