SHOPPING FOR MEN

I was recently shopping in the local farmers market with my daughter and begun a ritual handed down by many women in my family. As we shopped, I taught her how to select the best products that a store had to offer. I explained to her about sizing up fruits and vegetables, inspecting cans for dents, smelling the plants because if you are going to spend your money why not be selective. Money is after all energy. It’s the result of hard work, good decisions and planning. Your money habits say a lot about who you are so you don’t spend your […]

WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO MY MARRIAGE?! Avoiding the 15 Year Fizzle

The day begins like any other.  You wake up on your side of the bed and she’s clear on the other side with her back to you as has become the norm of late.  You take a quick shower and fix your own breakfast since she stopped preparing it for you weeks ago. Work is slow so when out of the blue she calls to invite you to lunch you gladly accept.  Lunch is awkward as you both struggle to find topics and you know something is really amiss when she uncharacteristically inquires about how the Lakers are doing.
