Hiring a coach can help you stop "keeping up with the Jonses" and get you and your partner Living!

by Rodney Mueller On an unseasonably warm day in February, I went out for a short scooter ride around my neighborhood. Yeah, I said scooter! Don't judge me, it's actually really cool.  Avocado green, all metal, 60's looking, manual transmission 150cc Vespa. Think Volkswagen Party Bus meets scooter.

My intention is to expose the underhanded tactics, even if unintentional, of men and the naiveté of women that permit these relationships to flower.

Sometimes adolescents can be overly dramatic but it's better to be safe than sorry

Teens who may not otherwise be forthcoming about their emotional drama have a platform where they can over-share. With the popularity of Facebook it can be difficult to determine a true cry of desperation amidst the noise of social networking. An article in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/24/us/facebook-posts-can-offer-clues-of-d...) reveals some advisers - such as therapists and school counselors - are using Facebook as a tool and entry point for determining how students are handling self-esteem issues and other areas that c
