Why People Cancel On You Last Minute
It’s been planned for days. It’s finally Friday afternoon. You’ve just finished work and you are super excited to get ready and go. What am I going to wear, what time should I leave, maybe I should wear that red top instead? And there comes that notification.

People Watching in a Coffee Shop
Coffee shops are one of the most calming places I find myself in these days, second only to used bookstores. Not the chain stores like Starbucks or Carribou, though my Barry Road Starbucks is still a place I frequent often. I’m talking one of a kind coffee places, where you never find the same decor in another place. Places that welcome visitors with one of a kind experiences and flavors to try. Places that are crowded with people from all walks of life, whether hipsters, business men, college students or old couples enjoying the afternoon together. Places that you can plop down in a nice leather chair, sit back with a house cup, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Angel on the Train
It was a day like every other day, James had boarded the train home, the same train he rode every day, at the same time, from the same place. He didn’t pay much attention to others on the train, just sat on his phone, playing games, scrolling through social media, counting the stops to his own.

Women
It really is simple! Ever sit there and think to yourself, what’s really the best way to get a women’s attention? The secret is women really are simpler than they make it. You may think you’re not attractive enough, or confident enough to even get a text back, but the truth is anyone can get a lady in bed. Now I’m not saying the goal is to get a woman in bed, no but even to know you have got a chance is already a step forward. I am confident that this can apply to every man... or women who have known the struggle of even holding up a conversation or even tried to get attention from a lady. When we think about it, countless opportunities have passed us where that person could have been our soulmate or even a life lesson. I got to the point where I was tired of having to wait for that “one person” to come into my life when I can bring myself into their lives and decide for myself who really is the one for me and until this day I have more options to choose from than I could imagine. By following these clear steps and using them, I grantee you will get that text back and get to where you want by being in control and you will be dying for more tips.

4 TV Husbands Who Can Teach Guys A Few Things About Marriage
In today's television landscape, happy marriages are as rare as a unicorn sighting in Time Square. Maybe that's because "happily ever after" doesn't bring enough angst or drama.

Happily Ever After
I've always dreamed of life as a fairytale. For my whole life, I have been obsessed with Walt Disney's Princesses, especially the redheaded Little Mermaid. I would fantasize over my very own Prince Charming, and wanting to be with the same "Prince" my whole life: from Love At First Sight to Happily Ever After. I learned it was possible, but not likely.

Never Fading
There is a certain time in the day where the inky darkness of night leaves nothing for us to see except for whatever stars are left. I used to feel calm and happy as the dark enveloped my body, but now that you are gone, the nights are always the hardest to face. I was falling for you and yet you turned away. You shoved me in the other direction as though you knew what was good for me or maybe it was so you could protect yourself. I still stayed though… because I thought I could help you or maybe even fix you.

Failing Marriages
Some marriages today are not lasting as long as the vows people take when getting married. The last sentence in the vows is till death do we part. A piece of paper does not keep the marriage together. It takes a lot of work. For some people, they give up when things get tough instead of sticking it out.

To the Girl Who Thinks She’s a Burden
You feel like you’re a burden and unwanted because of people who never appreciated you. Babe, you have to stop looking at yourself as a burden. You have to learn how to love yourself again. You have to re-find your value and confidence in who you are. You have to stop listening to what others tell you. You have to stop believing them. You have to stop allowing what they think to become your reality. You’re not a burden. You’re not annoying. You’re not overwhelming. You’re not "too much." You can’t think that you are ever a burden to someone. You’ve got to get out of that mentality. You have to stop thinking you are. You have to find yourself again.

"But No! I'm Different..."
WHY do we always do this to ourselves? Why do we always think that we will be the one to change him? Why do we so desperately want to believe that we have some kind of super-woman power to make him see the light?

When describing our wedding day, neither my husband nor I describe it as the happiest day of our lives because the happiest day was the day we met. There are a plethora of other days that top our wedding day as well....our first date, random moments or random conversation are a few others.
