To be trapped by anything can make one feel as if they are imprisoned in a small space with no air to breathe. Unlike the Jeanie trapped in a bottle for centuries until someone happened to find this bottle and magically rub it to life. You are not that lucky! Unfortunately there is no Prince Charming out there that will find you and magically rub you until you are free. You are the only one that can escape the prison of low self-esteem! Your self-esteem is up to you and only you. You can waste days upon days…years upon years waiting and hoping for that someone to come and make your self-esteem higher. It will never happen. You will have lived life lonely, angry, hidden and trapped. My advice to you is to begin with who you see ev...

New Years Resolutions....Hmmmmm. I have to wonder if that is a negative or a positive idea! Listening to people worry due to the pressure of the New Year's Resolution tradition.....has definitely made me stop and wonder. These are just a few things that I have heard repeatedly from others... "I seem to always struggle around New Years....Did I get ANYTHING accomplished this year?.....Am I thinner this year?.....Does my husband love me more this year?....What will I be like next year at this time?....Am I a better person this year?....I just try to remember .... "Would I judge a friend's year the way I judge my own.....and would I be this hard on someone I loved?"" Another New Years dilemma ..... do I even appreciate the chan...

Yes, it is I once again; here to titillate your brain cells with my very UNIQUE ways of thinking!So how’s that for an opening line? If you don’t like it, my first thoughts to you are this…”SO WHAT”! Actually I only said that to introduce an, “attitude phrase”. It is a very good positive reaction in defense of your self-esteem and self-worth. So many of us fall into the traps of pity and “woe is me”, which only ignites the fires of negative thoughts. They will do nothing but add fuel to those negativity fires in your mind.I hear more and more, every day, from women who dig themselves deeper and deeper into personal pits of loneliness and self-abuse with negative thoughts. For some reason they would rather allow the negative elements ...

There are so many emotions in a human mind. We feel loss, pain, loneliness, deception, insecurities, happiness, balanced, confused, confident, positive, negative and so on. We feel these emotions all on our own.....then we add a relationship to those emotions and it really does become challenging to say the least. We not only have to learn to identify and understand our own inner workings but now we have to try and understand someone else's emotions. No wonder relationships are difficult and hard to maintain. In order for a relationship to be successful both partners have to be on the same page...by that I mean you should both be compatible in thoughts, desires, and mutual respect. Beware of the differences in perso...

' Family'.... Where did it go? Today we live in a world of such different morals and priorities compared to yesterday. I know that that sounds like something all of our parents and grandparents have said to us, but in actual fact the changes that have occurred in the last 50 years have been the most drastic and self-destructing! Families of yesterday and today are so completely opposite that they tend to be foreign to each other. Does it ever make you wonder why? When I take a few minutes to just breathe, I cannot help but wonder how we, the people, have reached this point of existence. The point where the norm is now blended families, children with cell phones, sex in the middle schools, worse yet, a common c...

Gloucester Teens Had Pact To Get Pregnant...... GLOUCESTER (WBZ) ― There's a stunning twist to the sudden rise in teen pregnancies at Gloucester High School. 17 students there are expecting and, according to a published report, most of them became that way on purpose. Time Magazine is reporting that nearly half of the girls confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. None of the girls is older than 16. Principal Joseph Sullivan said that wasn't all that was shocking. "We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy," he told Time. Last month, two top officials at the high school's health center resigned in a fight over contraceptives distribution. Medical Director Dr. ...
