UNITED STATES—Is it possible for a person to fully earn back the respect of someone who they wronged so badly that the person forgives them, but never truly forgets what has transpired? That is a question that I have found myself wondering for the past month. I’ve always been taught in my life that forgiveness is important because it allows...

UNITED STATES—Alcohol, it’s something many adults indulge in during family gatherings or around big holidays. Well, in my family alcohol seems to be a staple for people and so much to the point that it’s not a good thing. I’ve shared before that both sides of my family (my mother) and (my father) that the notion of drinking is...

UNITED STATES—In the past let’s say three years, I have become such an avid fan of the podcast. Don’t ask me what sutured me into the arena or why I enjoy them so much, I just do. It’s even got me thinking just maybe, just maybe, I should consider starting my own podcast as a form of weekly therapy...

UNITED STATES—This weekend may have been one of the worse, Father’s Day that I have ever experienced in my life. To even write this column is difficult, but I’m doing so as a way of dealing with my emotions and raising awareness of violence, especially when it’s one family member against another.

UNITED STATES—Have you ever had that situation arise where you were expecting a large sum of money? Did your mind race with a ton of ideas that you had virtually no clue as to what you were planning to do with such a large sum? Well join the club, because that situation is about to arise for me. Money is...

UNITED STATES—This past month, has been one of the most stressful and chaotic that I have encountered in quite some time. If working two jobs wasn’t enough to try to make ends meet, it became a realization that I’m still NOT earning enough to fully cover all my expenses and to live life at a comfortable standard. I mean...

UNITED STATES—Raising an issue that may be causing you grief is no easy task. It might be something at the workplace, something at home, or a family member who just boils your blood or skin every single time that you see them. So the question of the week is how do you address or raise a concern with an...

UNITED STATES—The work week has just kicked off and I’m already stressed beyond words can describe. I’m starting to realize as much as I love Fridays, I hate and I mean hate Mondays. It’s something about knowing that you have to get ready for work, that chaos forces the body to go into fight or flight mode; well at...
