Television has a huge influence on Cultural Trends; the argument is whether or not this is a good thing!? A study by RAND Corporation demonstrated the positive impact and lasting affect a show like Friends, specifically a single episode had on youth in practicing Safe Sex and Abstinence.

So there I sat, late, in the car in front of the house early on a hazy summer morning pre-occupied with the mental calisthenics required to orchestrate a perfect meeting. A meeting that in some not so small way would determine my near term future ability to support my kids. There I sat...
I never figured myself as the home-wrecker type, but sometimes we just don’t know our own impact and potential. A well-used quote from an unknown source is that; "a lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because...

raw talent. And then there's the stubborn boss...
As I told you last month, I've been working on my
"elevator pitch". Essentially, working out how to tell someone what I do in
twenty-seconds or less (as if we were in an elevator, and I had only two
floors to tell you the basics about
what I do.) It started coming easier...
Well, the elevator pitch is rolling off my tongue
easier and easier lately. As a refresher, it's: "Mood Therapy for the Masses by speaking to individuals

Over the next several months look for changes
in the content and theme of the Newsletter. Of late, I have been working on my
