A number of things can shake up a person's life, but divorce is definitely one of the biggest. Whether you initiated it or not, dealing with the aftermath takes a great deal of emotional fortitude.

Most people are their own worst critic, unfortunately. We have an inner dialogue with ourselves that is continually judging, criticizing, comparing, and putting down anything that you do.

Between when we are born up to the age of 6 or 7, we are a totally blank slate and are like a recording machine, absorbing what we hear and see from our environment.

The "holiday season" defines the time that extends from Thanksgiving to New Year's, where all we seem to do is eat, drink and be merry. Just what is it that makes the holiday season so special?

BURNOUT can be described as an erosion of the soul, a feeling that regardless of what a person does, they cannot make a difference in their workplace. Burnout is often accompanied by feelings of hopelessness, a loss of motivation, and a sense of mismatch between what is being required and what the person is capable of.

More than 200,000 people lost their jobs last month (August 2009) and unemployment is up to 9.7%. Nearly seven million jobs have been lost since the recession began in December of 2007.

Last night my Shih-tzu and I went for the second night in a row to an animal shelter to visit with a very sweet Irish Setter Collie mix. We waited 45 minutes to visit with this beauty the night before and the shelter was ready to close when we got our turn. So after a brief visit, I was asked to bring Coco back for another visit the next night because there wasn’t time to process an adoption anyway. But, my heart was already captured by this charmer with one blue and one brown eye. She was great on the lead and not at all dominant with Coco.

In July 1997 Fortune Magazine printed some quotes from real life CVs, including ' I have an excellent track record, although I am not a horse' and 'Let's meet so you can 'ooh' and 'aah' over my experience'.

1. Don't be part of the story. Stop reading the papers, listening to CNN and checking on your 401k. Focus on the positives, not the negatives.

Start budgeting today to build your cash position, and reduce expenses, just in case your salary or job is cut. Keep your resume fresh. But at the same time, plan for the best. Look out for promotion opportunities, work on your own business, and follow your dream. 3.

Why do we make New Year’s resolutions? Because we desire change for the better. But, for those dealing with divorce, resolutions may offer much-needed hope for the future. Resolutions are meant to give us a boost and promote positive change. However, if you think back to your past resolutions, it's likely that many of them were driven by a need to curb or eliminate certain behaviors — “quit” smoking, spend “less” money, “lose” weight. How depressing! Instead, how about focusing on positive changes that would naturally yield your desired end results?

As a responsible parent, I'm sure that you can understand how important it is for you to provide properly for your children.

In most cases, however, you can apply the following parenting tips which will help you to make the most out of the long-term project that you started.

Or how many recurring meetings have you sat through where you wished you could have been excused because even if you were to express an opinion, nothing would change? We’ve all been there.

As I reflect back on my 23+ years in the restaurant business, I’ve seen a necessary trend slowly taking place. Restaurant companies are increasingly making background checks part of the hiring process as courts are increasingly holding employers liable for "negligent hiring," or failing to check the background of a prospective employee.

Job dissatisfaction has reached an all time high for corporate employees. Most employees have felt the sting of downsizing, out-placement, and compensation cutbacks over the past two-to-five years.

ARE YOU HIDING FROM YOUR TRUTH? It’s o.k. I realize that I began participating in the Hide & Seek game in my early 20s. I became President of the Hide & Seek club in my 40s. Let me say this, the internal pain that I felt during my Hide & Seek game was immense yet, I most often ignored the pain and continued hiding. The Club (Hide & Seek Club) is an ever-expanding club with millions of members. In fact, we become so accomplished at hiding our truth, hiding whom we are that it doesn’t take long before we are unable to recognize ourselves. WHAT DO WE HIDE? -Our Fears-
