How did I acquire all this stuff?

Have you ever had the thought, “How did I acquire all this stuff?” C’mon admit it, you know that you have.

Twice a year, when I do the seasonal clothing switch, I always manage to find some item that I’ve purchased goodness knows when and have never used. I once found a DKNY handbag in the back of one of my closets. Now this probably sounds like I’ve been one major self-indulgent Diva. Yea, okay, I’ll admit…once upon a time, when I could afford it, I was. I worked my ass off, made my money and spent my money.

Times, oh my, they have changed. So what’s a girl to do? Go clean your closets! Today, as I was cleaning mine; I found a briefcase with wheels that was still in the never opened box. Heaven! I went shopping without spending a dime or setting foot outside of the house. On a philanthropic note, all those items that you may find and you know you’ll never use, give them to a charity because someone probably needs them.

Happy Shopping!

10 Reasons Why Guys Leave

If you’re crying in your mochaccino because your guy just left you, hopefully these reasons may give you some insight and make you feel better.

1. 
   
   He didn’t like your friends.
2. 
   
   Your laugh got on his nerves.
3. 
   
   You weren’t able to defend your choice of beer.
4. 
   
   You choose to answer your cell phone, ignoring him and making him feel like he wasn’t number one.
5. 
   
   You changed your FaceBook status to “in a relationship” before he did.
6. 
   
   You didn’t keep a change of clothes at work and did the “walk of shame.”
7. 
   
   You didn’t break all ties with your exes.
8. 
   
   If you believe reason 1-7, get a reality check and cancel your subscription to Cosmo!
9. 
   
   He is a complete douche-bag.
10. 
    
    He is a GUY not a MAN!

Now, allow yourself exactly 24 hours to cry over Mr. Loser. Then go get your girlfriends, party, and thank God that you’re not with the tool anymore.

A Woman’s Health And Happiness

I do quite a bit of research when I’m writing about certain subjects. I’d set out to find solid scientific evidence of the correlation between women’s happiness and physical health. What I found was a lot of psychobabble versus scientific fact. Almost as if we women just couldn’t wrap our fragile minds around solid facts.

”It is near impossible to neutrally define happiness as we presently know and understand it. A woman’s health and happiness can be said to refer to a combination of psychological, mental and emotional elements. As such, it is an internal and subjective process.” Garbage! I’d seriously like to smack the windbag that wrote this crap.

True Connection

“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” ~Rachel Naomi Remen

Social Services Burn Out

People within the social services and nonprofit community are indeed giving in nature. But that giving to others can come at a high price. Current cutbacks are high, leading to increased caseloads, which are generally already overburdened. A specific issue or project that formally would have been delegated amongst several persons is now placed upon one.

Our society depends upon these people, so what can we do for them?
