Time Is Of The Essence!
UNITED STATES—There are 24 hours in a given day, well to be exact its only 23 hours and some minutes. For most Americans the notion of having enough time is something that seems incomprehensible. For most of us we spend 8-9 hours working, factor in another 1-2 hours of travel time to and from work, 6-8 hours sleeping, and...
Awkward Red Carpet Chatter
UNITED STATES—It used to be fun to watch the red carpet for many of the awards shows during awards season, but man has things changed in recent years. I have a vast level of respect for those who have become titans in the entertainment field of journalism and know what questions to ask and how to ask them to...
Failure To Communicate With Family
UNITED STATES—The ability to communicate is a skill that so many people fail to grasp its importance. I really want to have a conversation about the notion of communication because it seems like Americas are communicating less and less each day. I mean the advancement of technology is a major thorn in this development. Making the situation worse is...
Divorce Changes Everything!
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...
Time For A Change In Jobs
UNITED STATES—Work, it’s something many of us do day in and day out. For most Americans, we have dead end jobs that we absolutely hate and dread. We hit the alarm clock, rumble in the sheets before realizing we have to get up, we have to get out of bed and we have to head to work. I mean...
Tax Season Is Under Way
UNITED STATES—For many Americans, this is the time of year that so many love because many are expecting a hefty return from Uncle Sam. However, the most important question is what are many Americans doing with that tax return? I know for me it has always been a time of year where that money which is kind of unexpected...
The Super Bowl Commercials That Matter!
UNITED STATES—For many Americans we HATE commercials, it’s what many would call interruptions into their favorite program. However, if there is one time during the year where the commercials matter it’s the Super Bowl and Super Bowl LII sure delivered some favorites people, but there was also plenty of flops as well. Side note: my focus on this column...
Feeling A Bit Unappreciated
UNITED STATES—We all grapple with it time and time again: feeling unappreciated. This is not just focused on family life, but in the workplace. I think both are equally important, but when it comes to work, feeling unappreciated, overworked or not respected can lead to one questioning their value to a company. So many people automatically think appreciation has...
Michigan State University Is Facing The Heat!
UNITED STATES—Last week we talked about fallen doctor and former Michigan State University gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar. After nearly a week of hearing 150 plus victim impact statements, Nasser was sentenced to 40-175 years in prison. To be honest I would have sentenced the predator to 175 years minimum, but considering the judge was forced to do a minimum...
Not Working When You’re Off Is Not Easy!
UNITED STATES—For most Americans, when you’re off work, you do your best to avoid answering the phone, checking emails or doing anything that is work-related. Why? For most people, you won’t get paid, and what is the fun in that. However, for those who work from their home office, the job is that much harder if you ask me....
