The History and Evolution of Dating
From generation to generation and throughout history, the way we live our lives changes. The things that people did generations ago might very well be looked at with a few raised eyebrows and head shakes. At the same time, if those that have lived centuries before us could see how much the world has changed, they’d have their heads spinning.

Those Three Words
"Those three words are said too much, they’re not enough." The older I get, the truer those words from Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars, become. There is no denying the power of those words. They can change minds, change lives, mend hearts, start revolutions. Saying them and hearing them can be incredibly powerful.

Forty years of awkward
When I was 7 I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer. For those of you not yet receiving letters urging you to join AARP, Solid Gold was music television series and a staple of Saturday night television from 1980-1988. Like other music series of the time, Solid Gold featured musical performances by the artists charting that week. Unlike American Bandstand and Soul Train, Solid Gold didn't have a live audience dancing as though they were in a club, instead featuring heavily choreographed performances by their in-house dancers.

Lost and Found
It’s strange how you don’t really realize how thankful you are for something until you come close to losing it. For example, I appreciate electricity, a whole lot more after I have to go without it for a few hours, or days due to a hurricane or storm. Or, when I get sick and have to stay home, I find myself to be more thankful for the majority of the time, when I am healthy. There’s so many things that I take for granted, much more than just electricity and a healthy body. I never really thought about all the things and people I take for granted until I almost lost my cousin. His near death experience inspired me to cherish and invest in my family relationships.

Half Moon
There it hangs, a half moon, abandoned by someone in the corners of the western sky. Above it, a grey-blue canvas stretches out, resembling a weathered piece of grey cloth more than the sky itself. A few feet below it, an inky darkness washes over, similar to a bottomless swamp, a landscape I know as the White Deer Plain. Before me, the city square unfolds in a surreal manner, its shadows wavering.

How to love yourself
What motivates you? How influenced are you by your thoughts, words, emotions, core values, and beliefs? The relationship between diet, exercise, and weight loss and the increasing rates of body dissatisfaction and overall dissatisfaction in society is complex. Self-love can significantly impact your life positively. Cultivating self-love is essential for meeting our fundamental need for connection and love. Developing a deep sense of worth and self-love can help us move away from seeking external validation and comparison with others. Embracing true beauty, love, and kindness towards ourselves can lead to a more fulfilling life. Instead of focusing on diets, prioritizing love is more effective. Positive emotions can bring our nervous system into alignment, leading to better decision-making and overall health. Our thoughts greatly influence our feelings, with a high percentage being negative. Experiencing and expressing love and gratitude can have a profound impact on our well-being and strengthen our emotional and physical health. Gratitude, in particular, plays a vital role in enhancing our lives and relationships.

Celebrating My Greatest Source of Inspiration
In the quiet moments of reflection, I often find myself drifting back to sweet memories of my mom, Patricia born in 1916, the year of the Dragon! She was a woman of remarkable strength and resilience despite having only completed the 3rd grade in school. Her unwavering belief in the power of self, instilled in me from a young age, continues to shape my journey through life.

Pain and Deceit. Top Story - February 2024.
Why are the most impactful moments in love also the most painful ones? In fact, a lover’s betrayal might be the very best prompt to self-actualization. It will force you to launch a full body scan to evaluate all the feelings and sensations you are experiencing and it will push you to analyze them in extensive details, making a poet out of you. Perhaps that is why I do not hate my ex so much.

The Dragons Besides Me
To be honest, there are quite a lot of dragons besides me during my life and somehow, the most inspirations comes from women. Suddenly, the question is, about which of them I wanna talk here. Of course, I could talk about my adoptive mum, since she created a lot of me, but I have my doubts that anyone wants to read a horror story at the international women day. I also could have talked about my biological mum, since my strength is coming from her. But even that seems wrong to me.
