What Is A Demisexual? 5 Signs You May Be One

I’ll never forget a conversation I had with a demisexual friend years ago. At the time, I didn’t know she was demisexual. I didn’t even know what a demisexual was.

Change Your Life By Becoming Your Own CEO

There have been periods in my life when I was unhappy and flailing.

Many of these outside events occurred in my youth or young adulthood, […]

5 Holiday Traditions You Should Absolutely Break

The holiday season is all about traditions. Every family has their own. We have a tradition in our house that the kids get pajamas every year for Christmas, and they always open them Christmas Eve to sleep in that night.

One of the main reasons we have a hard time creating the happy, passionate life we desire is because we are so highly-focused on our weaknesses and how we’ve screwed up in the past.

8 Ways to Spring Clean Your Life

Last week I took my daughter to New York City for spring break to look at colleges. But it didn’t feel one bit like spring. In fact, it was so cold we were wearing winter coats and boots, wondering if nature was playing a cruel trick on us. Even when we returned to Atlanta on […]
