REALITY

From Dream to Reality

From Dream to Reality

Is there something new you would like to see happen in your life this year? Here is one of the questions I often get asked by clients who are working on their Visions. “ how do I choose what I want to include” Some ask this because they don’t think they know what they want, others inquire because they have too many wonderful ideas and desires that they are overwhelmed and get exhausted before they even start.

Is Facebook Making Us Lose Our Sense of Reality?

A commentary on 'The Bachelorette' and Jonathan Franzen's recent article in 'The New York Times.'

In last week’s "Opinion" section of the NY Times, author, Jonathan Franzen, discusses the hidden evils of technology and facebook, an ever-popular topic of conversation among social critics. He argues that both forces are turning American society into an increasingly superficial group of people who have forgotten the difference between liking people or things, and loving them. A few days after reading this article, I watched the most recent episode of The Bachelorette, and low and behold, the first half of it brought Franzen’s ideas to life.

If I Had To Choose My Husband Or George Clooney…

My husband may not be perfect but I'll take him over George Clooney any day.

He’s twice been named the Sexiest Man Alive. He makes more money in memorizing ten lines than my husband makes all year. In another century, his ravishing good looks and muscular physique were undoubtedly the criteria that all Greek Gods set for themselves. Still he remains the boy next door that every woman in the world would love to call her very own. I’m talking about George Clooney—the Buttery Hotness himself. Nevertheless, I turned him down, even though he never asked. I turned him down, straight as an arrow. Here's why.

Would You Marry A Man Sight Unseen?

"I Married A Stranger" hopes to discredit the idea that seeing is believing.

Imagine falling for someone you've barely met let alone never seen? This is not the premise for a faceless Facebook application. It's the new Fox reality television show titled, "I Married a Stranger."

Diagnosing A Dead-End Relationship

Diagnosing A Dead-End Relationship

Moving on's not easy, but is it the right move?

I have a lot of friends and readers who ask me about dead-end relationships. They know they're in them but they're not sure how or if they even want to get out of them. It seems like the start of a new year is the perfect time to look at the makeup of the breakup.Here's the short version. If you know it's done, get out. I know, I know. There are all sorts of considerations—housing, pets, kids, years of history together, familial relationships, fear of being alone. But, if you don't want to be there, if you can no longer remember why you're there in the first place, if it's just plum not working, how can you stay together? Truly. How?

Denise Richards Explains Complications

Denise Richards Explains Complications

Larry King grills Denise Richards about It's Complicated.

Denise Richards has a new show and It's Complicated. No, silly, that's the name of her show and presumably a 2 word descriptor. She went on Larry King to settle some things and was surprisingly cordial about Charlie Sheen. Maybe we've got the wrong idea about her.
