UNITED STATES—Divorce, I would argue many Americans have encountered or at least experienced the drawbacks of divorce. I hate when people compare divorce to death, while devastating, it’s not like something no longer being in the presence on Earth, but things as we know it will never ever be the same. I first experienced the aftereffects of divorce when...

UNITED STATES—Question: are you someone who loves to shop online or do you like to shop in the actual brick-and-mortar store? I am someone who loves to shop in store because I want to physically see what I’m purchasing, I want to touch it and I like the idea of having that item as soon as I purchase it....

UNITED STATES—There is one thing in life that we are all promised: death. A tragedy recently transpired in my personal life where a close family member passed away. It was all the more tragic because it was a sudden death that was unexpected. I have been to more funerals in my life than I can count and to be...

UNITED STATES—Going to college is something that should be affordable for all Americans, but unfortunately we live in a world where money is the driving force behind everything. For those who were lucky to get the chance to go to college, and successfully obtain a degree, the headache has just begun. Yep, I’m referring to those student loans. That money...

UNITED STATES—Last week’s column we talked about sleep in general and addressed a lot of issues that people face in general when it comes to attempting to get quality sleep.

It sickened me to the core, but as scary as it sounds I feared this would happen. I recently wrote a column about “Police Corruption” addressing the issue of the number of unarmed African-Americans who...

UNITED STATES—It sometimes can be very difficult to find motivation when you feel like you are gassed out, but being gassed out is NOT an excuse to not do something. You might be asking why I’m writing this column because I have felt as of late that I have lacked a bit of motivation and it’s not because I...

UNITED STATES—Oh, exercise, I am certain it is something so many of us hate doing, but let’s face it, in order to stay healthy, we have to do it. For me, it is indeed a big chore. It is not because I don’t want to do it; it is because my day is so busy, that I get exhausted....

UNITED STATES—For most people, its February, and at this point many people may have given up on their New Year’s Resolution, but for myself I’m still going strong after about 6 weeks into the New Year. I made a bunch of resolutions, but the biggest I have stuck to is not eating fast food. Yes, it might be daunting...
