    The Kindness Of Strangers

    “The only person who can help you is yourself,” a friend said to me recently. 
Within the last week, my friend’s statement was debunked as a nation watched as strangers pulled together to help one another in moments of terror in Boston and West, Texas.

    Depression: Finding Light in the Dark

    Many times, depressed moods are temporary. But for many other individuals, depression latches on and overcomes a person’s life. Not overcoming depression on your own doesn’t make you a failure, though.

    Redefining the Meaning of Success

    Sure, dream careers and dream lives can be possible if you’re willing to sacrifice everything, but then what is life worth if you’re out tackling deeply-rooted career-oriented goals just to prove to yourself and maybe some doubters that you actually can reach the moon?

    Goodbye, 20s and Hello, 30!

    Somewhere around the age of 12, I wondered what life would be like when I was 30. I imagined I’d have a family, three kids, a two-car garage attached to a home in the suburbs with a job in the media. On Feb. 21, only one of those poorly developed thoughts will be true — a job in the media.

    Cherish the Moment

    Here we are, mourning with a small southern New England town during what is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year as children excitedly await the arrival of Santa Claus, nine tiny reindeer and a morning filled with gifts.

    More Celebrating…Less Stressing!

    But after one week of really focusing on gift buying, I seem to be forgetting that Christmas isn’t about how much money is spent on items. I had kind of stressed myself out thinking, “I should spend more on this person, or less on that person, or the same on everybody.”

    The Holiday Season: What’s It All About?

    We witnessed a major milestone this year as Thanksgiving no longer was a day of rest, instead becoming a day of retail. The following day — Black Friday — proved to be the same.
