Jobs & Careers > Starting Out Why do we struggle with finding a job, and why is job searching so difficult?: 2 of 18
There is no question and no doubt in my mind that the good old days are gone forever when it comes to job hunting.

This is a new beginning for me, a fresh start. Yes! I have dreams and yes, I have goals. My desire to really follow my dreams this time began when I divorced my husband last year in 2008. My dad gave sound advice of always having a plan first coupled with goals so that you can pursue your dreams. Now, I have a game plan to... More..
Relationships & Family > Romance & Sexuality What makes a man sexy?: 8 of 56
A man is sexy to me when I look into his eyes and I can see his soul. I can see what is coming from the heart.

Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Is the Bible trustworthy?: 26 of 160
There was a time in my life when I did not understand the Bible. I did not turn to it as my life manual. I did not lean on it for my food for thought to start my day, or read it before I went to bed. I did not trust in it because I was ignorant. I was guilty as charged as many other people in this country. I pretty much sa... More..
Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Drug addiction: 9 of 38
I grew up into the world of drugs since I was a little girl. That was my environment. That was my world straight up into my adult years. I was taught early on the rules of the do's and the don'ts of doing drugs when you do them. I observed people to learn new things and I still do today. It is part of my survival skills. I... More..
Relationships & Family > Marital Conflicts Why marriage is so hard: 19 of 66
Was it love at first glance? Was it lust at first sight? Did you play by the rules regarding the principles of virtues? Did you take your time courting, getting to know each other, or did the two of you jump in with both feet? And finally, did you marry for the right reasons? I think those are pretty good questions for st... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Appreciating the little things in life: 45 of 154
I have been this way my entire life. It's the little things that mean the most to me. The smell of cut grass, a beautiful rainbow after a hard rain, lightning bugs, a subtle breeze touching my face, the smell of the ocean air, watching the sunset, a friendly little town, birds singing, a home with warmth and laughter, qual...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: The secret keys to happiness: 35 of 114
I have been on both sides of my scale of emotions. The scale of my emotions consists of either feeling good, or feeling bad. I can tell you that it is not fun feeling bad, complaining about your life and of the things that you don't like, don't want, and dwelling only on the negative things in life. I can honestly say it i... More..
