Consider your closet. Treat it like a sacred space, or treat it with the same TLC that
men treat their coveted cars and garages.
Excerpted from my book, Think & Date Like A Man:
Your closet is a place you go to several times a day to choose what you’re going to put on your body, yet […]

I’m in a mood tonight. Not a good one. I don’t think it’s the holidays because I like the holidays and I don’t even mind the lines and the crowds. You have to expect that at this time of year. I think I’m just tired and burned out. I’m really wishing there was a turn-back-time […]

Hundreds of shopping malls across the country have been completely deserted, reduced to just a few stores or converted to something entirely different. What has prompted this?
The family unit is changing and so, too, is the definition of community. Mall stores have trouble holding their sales when the competition by online shopping has made […]

Today I went to the 14th annual DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts. We’ve come a long way. When I moved here in 1979, this town was Podunk Central. There were a couple of grocery stores, one tiny movie theater, a drug store and that was IT. Now we have restaurants and fast food joints […]

Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year — traditionally. Online shopping opportunities have most definitely cut into the populous of Black Friday shopping, and online shoppers will find a plethora of online bargains that are not offered in stores — just as in person shoppers will find items in stores that are […]

Next to Cheesecake Factory I think Target is probably my favorite place on earth. They have EVERYTHING and I like the fact that the merchandise is trendier than at Wal-Mart, which is NOT my favorite place on earth.
Today I had to go to Target for a baby shower gift. Mom-to-be is registered there. Now, my only other […]

Do Less – and Get More Done
Ever spread yourself so thin that you got a little of fifteen projects started, but none completed? In that same amount of time, I bet you could complete and do a great, focused, job on three or even four projects. In fact, if you find that you’re addicted to […]
