Getting back to the dating scene is complicated, especially when you have been sitting on the sidelines for awhile and are considering,  jumping back into the dating game.  Yes, I am learning this from experience. People seem to prefer online dating as the alternative to going to bars, to meet people. Though we know, bar room relationships, rarely work out anyway, online dating can be just as scary. As I was doing my research on dating websites, I noticed how scary some people's profiles really are. I decided to pick five things, I saw in profiles, that I thought people should change. If you haven't been getting any bites, consider revamping your profile, you may be scaring the fish away.  Here are my five suggestions: Profile Pictures : Post a picture of yourself alone. Yes kids are cute, but they don't need their picture posted on a dating website. You want someone to date you, not your child. Pick a picture that compliments you and won't make you look stupid...

When most people hear the words "Domestic Violence", they assume that some guy, beat up some woman. In most cases that is true, but it goes both ways, men are victim's of this also. I never thought about it being that way, until I witnessed it first hand.  One of my uncles was involved in a relationship, with a woman that suffers from Bi Polar disease. What he went through, was unreal. There was one night, where she tried to stab him when he was sleeping, then called the Police and said he hit her and because of her saying that, he went to jail.  It's sad; but true, in most cases, when the Police are called in a domestic abuse case and a woman is the first to say that she was hit, the guy's go to jail. I think at times, even the Police aren't thinking that Men can be the victim's of domestic abuse. My uncle had a child with the woman and was trapped in the relationship. There were so many incidents, when she would freak out for no reason. I was...

Most if the time, therapy for me, is putting the pen to paper. Have you ever tried taking a blank piece of paper and pen and just writing all of your thoughts and feeling down on paper?  I find it to be the best therapy at times. If someone makes you happy, write down what it is that made you happy. If you feel angry about something, write down on a piece of paper who makes you angry and why.  You can always burn it after reading or shred it, if you never want anyone to know what you wrote. It's all in releasing it, getting it out of your system and let it go. Keeping a daily journal is great therapy as well. This week I was in a Poetry mood. As I was thinking of a phone conversation I had with a relative, going through marital problems, I was inspired to write this.  Here is a little poem that I wrote and I think many can relate to.  Please be respectful and remember Copyright laws and Plagiarism laws. I own the copyrights to all of my work. I li...

With losing three people very dear to me, over the past two years. I found it astonishing, how many people there are, that don't realize that grieving is a process, that takes time. Some people act as if, your supposed to instantly get over someone dying and forget about them. I try to remind myself to take a look at the source and remind myself, that they may have never lost anyone close to them. If someone hasn't experienced loss and the heart break from losing someone, then they won't understand it. Grieving is a process and it does take time. Especially when the death came as a sudden shock. Even when you know that someone is going to die and you try to prepare yourself, it still isn't easy. Your heart is still broken and it still hurts to lose someone. We all know, that we will all die eventually, though it's not something anyone really wants to think about. It will happen, because it's part of life and life will happen. Every person has a their own ...
