In my last article I talked about selfishness and how it can affect “having it all:. This article is another look at what having it all may mean. Back to AA again, the primary goal of AA in addition to stopping drinking and drugging is to find serenity. I believe that is what we really […]
Seems this is a recurring theme, especially for women. But I think men “want it all” too. As I understand it the issue is that folks want a great career, great family and success in general. That seems like a good goal for everyone. The problem is in finding a way to get there. I […]
DO YOU WANT TO EARN A LOT OF MONEY? I like to write about issues that affect young people as well as folks who are further along in their careers. Much of what concerns me is helping people figure out how to make a living and survive in the world. I wrote a book about […]
EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK! That issue seems to never die. Maybe it shouldn’t. I admit I have an interest in the issue as I have two daughters and this seems to be a women’s issue. I want them to have opportunities. I also admit that when I started my career in the 70’s that […]

I have gone through “The Life of Julia” several times. It is a very clever presentation showing how “Julia” progressed through her life very well, with seemingly little stress because of government programs that helped her along the way. I admit, it is a very compelling case that they make for more entitlements. And the […]
“One thing I want to make sure young people everywhere know is that it doesn’t matter where you grow up, or whether you go to a big or small college, everyone who works hard and keeps their eyes and ears open at all times for opportunities can and will succeed.” Dana Perino on Facebook in […]
