Jun 24 2010 - 11:30amYears ago, I worked in a bookstore and the manager asked me to create a large display. He said I could be as creative as I wanted to be, just make sure it reflected the season (which happened to be Spring). At first, I was excited. I consider myself to be fairly...

Jun 25 2010 - 10:30amWhen planning a wedding one of the most common places to start is at bridal shows.

Jun 29 2010 - 9:39pmThe blonde I have in mind is Goldilocks. She understood the true meaning of fit - not too big, not too small - just right.

Jul 23 2010 - 11:49amI was talking to a friend the other day, lamenting the fact that life can, indeed, be rough at times (and let's be honest, those times can seem endless). But this particular friend has started making real headway in "getting it together." I looked at him and said, "Hey, it's not how fast you move; it's all about what direction you...

Aug 2 2010 - 7:53pmHave you ever tried to get organized simply by throwing things away?
Many people get fed up with the clutter in their homes and start chucking things, thinking that by having some space back they are more organized. But in a few months, the clutter has returned. It's not that their organization system failed; it's just...

Aug 3 2010 - 5:07amMany “creative types” latch onto the idea that to be a true artist, one must be care-free, free spirited, and unencumbered by rules or structure. I have heard more than one such person say that structure of any kind impedes the creative process. I disagree.
And so do Drs. Hallowell and Ratey. In their book, Driven...
