How to keep your romance and professional life separate, even within the office.
With today's fast paced lifestyle, it can be tough to find the time to meet a man. That's why so many women end up peering over their office cubicle to see if a co-worker might be "Mr. Right." But workplace romances can be fraught with complications. GalTime checked in with an expert Michael Crom, Executive Vice President of Dale Carnegie Training, to see what the "right" way is to conduct an office romance.
Find your "sparkle" by reconnecting to your true nature!
Maintain a balance between your career and love life to create the romance that you deserve!
With Valentine’s Day here, is your love life a bit flat? Do you spend more time in your sweats than you do in sexy lingerie? Are your feet more at home in those old pink fuzzy slippers than they are in sexy pumps? Are you stressed because if you don’t plan for romance, none will happen at all? Don't worry because you are not alone!
With so many people still struggling to find work in this slow moving economy, those with jobs being quite frugal even during the holidays, and many losing much of their retirement funds... are we all going to be working just like today till we're 80?
I saw a tv news story of a woman who had always hoped she's retire in her 60s or even 70s, but now realizes she may have to continue working into her 80s.
How many people can imagine this?
Some people are just driven. They have the ambition to succeed and complete their goals or mission.
I happened to be watching Turner Classic Movies this past week awaiting an old film to start. They had a short subject on that featured Nancy Sinatra talking about Frank Sinatra, her dad.
She said the most interesting thing in reference to her Dad. "Some people are just driven. They have the ambition to succeed and complete their goals or mission. It's not about ego's, it's just drive."
Social media has opened up a new stream to stay connected but it can go only so far.
Whether you are a solopreneur or work in a large corporation and have a cubical or office, there are times when you feel lonely at work. We have all faced days that seem like everybody is busy with their work and own lives, and you're just not getting enough social interaction.
Social media has opened up a new stream to stay connected but it can go only so far. It's still mostly written interaction and even watching a video is fun, but it's still just you alone doing the watching.
Two out of three couples say marriage got worse after baby. Here's how to keep your romance alive
“You’ll never sleep again.” “You have no idea how tired you’ll be.” “Forget sex.”
Expecting a baby? You’ve heard it all before. As a recent Wall Street Journal article put it, babies are “So Cute, So Hard on a Marriage.” According to the Relationship Research Institute in Seattle, about two-thirds of couples say that within three years of the birth of a child, conflict and hostility increased dramatically.

How to find balance between the things that matter most in your life.
It's difficult to keep your life in balance with so much going on around you. Who has time to be a sex kitten of a wife when you're auditioning for world's best mom, employee of the month and domestic goddess extraordinaire? (Forget keeping yourself happy, manicured and in shape.) Here are five tricks I've discovered to help me keep more balance in my life and give more attention to the things that matter most.
It can be difficult to stay connected to our loved ones in today's hectic world. We struggle to keep friendships strong with coffee dates and quick emails, and we diligently pencil in phone calls to our grandparents even when we're swamped. But our romantic relationships rarely receive the same type of attention that our friends and families do, and the results can be devastating. Imagine looking across the kitchen table at the familiar contours of your husband's face… and realizing that the man you married now feels like a total stranger.
There is a big debate about whether someone really can achieve work- life balance. I think it’s all in your perspective. How about you?
Work-life balance is not a destination; it’s not something that you achieve and then you are done. Instead, life balance is a series of adjustments that you make all through the day everyday that either move you toward or away from balance. The key is to increase your awareness when making these decisions. Instead of making them instinctively, determine in the moment if the decision will move you toward balance.
Something as simple as being aware of the decisions you make and actions you take will naturally cause you to move more toward a life of balance.
So how about you? Do you think you can create life balance with your choices and actions?
