I have a friend who contributes regularly to a website for women in business and that is how I came across the story I am going to talk about today. Other contributors to this site talk about anything from fashion, to weight loss, to business (amongst many other things), and today I came across a […]

Why won’t she leave him??
Have you ever wondered why women suffering from verbal or physical abuse stay with their abusive partners? I can’t speak for all women who put up with such treatment, but I can speak for myself. If you’ve not read my previous posts, then you may not realise that I was verbally and emotionally abused for […]
What really matters when it comes to relationships
After being in a marriage where a regular screaming match was just a (sad) part of life, I am finding things a lot quieter these days, since meeting my current husband. Why do people argue? What do they hope to achieve? Do they just want to be right? Personally, I’d rather be happy! Sometimes I […]
Can’t get a decent date? You’re probably the reason why!
Ok, that sounds harsh, but think about it. How much fun are you to be around? If you have low confidence or self esteem, then chances are the people you meet will pick up on it. I once suffered from low confidence and self esteem, and I am amazed at how this affected the types […]
How can you tell if your child lacks confidence?
Hmmm. This one I ponder because I have two daughters, aged 10 and 1. Whilst it’ll be a while before I have too much to worry about with my younger daughter, I am compelled to ensure my older daughter doesn’t go down the road that I did. So how can a parent tell if their […]

My Dad is usually a very upbeat person, telling jokes and making us laugh. But not lately… Things have been tough lately and unfortunately it has all gotten too much for him and he is quite depressed. What is a relief is that he knows he isn’t his usual happy self and he’s prepared to […]

Happy Valentine’s Day everybody! Many couples will be heading out tonight for a romantic meal or whatever, although there are those who don’t have that special someone in their life. Based on statistics I’ve taken on the subject, there are a large number of people out there who are looking for someone to love, but many are […]
The Secret to a Good Relationship
While in Thailand at an internet marketing workshop recently, I met a couple who specialised in relationship counseling. I sat with this couple at lunch one day and that is when I learned of a wonderful secret (ok, it’s not really a secret, but I wonder if everyone knows this!?). To have a good relationship: […]
