Point of View

UNITED STATES—The turkey trimmings from Thanksgiving have all been carved and handed out, now it’s time to prepare for the next big holiday: Christmas. So what does that mean? It’s time to shop people, the shopping season is upon us and I will admit it can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Why? We get...

UNITED STATES—I was absolutely stunned to realize we’re entering our second week, perhaps third week of November depending on who you speak to and I have not yet seen those infamous Red Kettles from the Red Cross. I love the holidays, especially the months between September and December. For the oddest reason, it seems to be the one time...

UNITED STATES—The kitchen. It can be an intimidating place for many Americans, and as I see it you have three types of cooks. Those who cook for the pure love it, those who hate cooking and those who can’t cook, and I already know what many of you are thinking: the last two sound similar, but they are not!...

UNITED STATES—The biggest shopping day of the year is fast-approaching us. For those not in the know, I’m referring to Black Friday or what has somewhat shifted to Black Thursday.

HOLLYWOOD—I tell this to people all the time so I have no trouble being a bit frank with my audience. I rarely get ill or sick or whatever you want to call it. However, when I get sick, I get terribly ill and it’s the worst feeling in the world. I was literally coiled up in bed for nearly...

HOLLYWOOD—Many of you may not know this, and by the time that you read this column it may already be too late. Why? Well, Tuesday, November 7, 2017 was Election Day for many places across the United States, however, not many people head to the polls when the option to elect the next President of the United States is...

UNITED STATES—I have always been one who would not officially start my Christmas shopping until Black Friday. Trust me I have a million reasons for that decision, and that is best reserved for a column in the coming week or so, where we talk about the importance of mapping out a solid plan for Black Friday for those die-hard...

Should it be as soon as they become a teenager, mid-teens, at the age of 18 or perhaps when they turn 21? It has been argued that starting the notion of responsibilities at an early age is a...
