According to CNN, the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony has been canceled due to the writer's strike, replaced with a news conference format for this year.
Aw, gee.
You can practically hear the shudder around the world: "No Globes this year? Oh my God, what are we going to do?"

The post-holiday season is swiftly approaching. As we parents wearily stockpile the elaborate toys and expensive, electronic gadgets that came off Santa's sleigh for our kids to the tune of hundreds of dollars and that now sit abandoned, the ghost of Christmas Past watches and mourns.
This gho...

It has been my experience over the years that a substantial number of romantic relationships perceived in intuitive readings are those in which an individual is either desperately trying to get someone to love them or they are desperately trying to keep the love of a partner by focusing an inordinat...

You may be wondering, "What in the world is capacity for success?"
According to the principles of Personal Prophesy, the method I use to intuitively perceive the future, capacity for success is considered to be our maximum potential to experience or fully appreciate success, particularly in term...

Tim, Tim, Tim.
You did it again, didn’t you? You fell madly in love with another gorgeous woman destined to break your heart.
Another single, innocent-looking “passion princess” who has been around the track so many times where her romantic life is concerned that she might as well be a seaso...

What is a brain attack?
If you don’t have a clue, don’t feel bad. Until last Friday evening, I didn’t, either.
I didn’t know that a brain attack is a sudden life-threatening medical emergency depriving the most vital organ of the human body of blood-carrying oxygen which systematically cause...

Two hours.
That’s all Chuck begged his ex-wife for: Just two short, precious hours on Sunday to spend with his son.
A son that Chuck, a shipbuilding specialist in Eastern Virginia, hasn’t been able to share more than a few minutes’ worth of “father-son” time with over the phone since his bit...

There’s a solemn, almost sacred moment that occurs between two people when they meet, fall in love and because they’ve both been married before, still have young children at home to raise.
It’s that moment when, while gazing adoringly into each other’s eyes one whispers, “Honey, it’s time we met...

The Evolution of Emotion: What it is and how it can be one of your best tools in achieving success in relationships.
Human emotion, in terms of what I share with others as an intuitive advisor and coach, is a very complex subject. Emotions, after all, come in all shapes and varieties: Those we fi...

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight for,nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a miser...

What I remember most about the morning I recently spent sitting with a friend in the waiting area outside Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court was the anxiety.
It was everywhere - beside us, in front of us, in every corner, on every wooden bench.
If you've ever been to Family ...

If you’re like me, every now and then you find yourself doing it.
You do it because you suddenly feel nostalgic, a little curious.
Other times, because you are overwhelmed with serious pangs of homesickness; for instance, after wrestling for a good hour and a half with rush-hour gridlock fro...

The conflict between how children are raised in our society and the way we believe they should be raised is and always will be one of the great battles of all time.
Everybody, it seems, has an expert opinion to offer on the subject. Or they have an expert to instantly quote who is considered to b...

Over the years I have encountered a countless number of individuals who all seem to have one major problem in common.
They are madly in love with those who are consistently indicated in their reading not to be capable of being true, faithful, caring partners for them.
These people can't seem...

In all the years I've spent intuitively perceiving the future from playing cards, I have never conducted a reading for anyone who entered marriage expecting to become an unfaithful spouse.
Yes, that even includes those who may have had some difficulty being totally faithful to their partners pri...

For those interested in learning more about the philosophy behind my upcoming book The Message: Your Secrets in the Cards (publication date 1/08 by O Books) what follows are questions I'm most often asked by those new to the Personal Prophesy concept of intuitively reading ordinary playing cards.

I'm often approached for coaching by people who say, "My life has changed so much. I don't understand how I ended up 'here' instead of where I thought I would be today."
The average person doesn't realize that what causes our paths to the future to change so dramatically are frequently the choic...

Tony walked away from my door that Monday afternoon, his young handsome face etched with deep remorse.
I watched as he thrust hands into his back pockets, his head cast heavily downward. It appeared at first that he was simply trying to shield his gaze from the glaring afternoon sunlight. The un...

Who would have thought that a simple, fourteen-word statement like, "An affair can actually be the best thing to ever happen to a relationship," could bring conversation to a grinding halt as I sat among two dozen wives, husbands and significant others at a casual backyard barbeque last weekend?

We pulled into the car-cluttered parking lot at the supermarket last Sunday evening disembarking the beloved Family Roadster as twilight quietly descended in dusky, purpled tints around us.
That's when Daryl, my husband, noticed her. A woman who appeared to be in her late-20's intently speaking...

For the past few months, I've been doing something privately with a female friend of mine I never thought would appeal to me, let alone be something I would admit to publicly.
On Saturday evenings, I've been attending a private online support group meeting for separating and soon-to-be-divorced...

The method I use to intuitively perceive the future from playing cards centers on choice and change as powerful instruments to help us achieve a greater sense of happiness and stronger loving relationships within the framework of our own lives.
Many of you might be wondering, "What in the world ...

There's a word we all know well. A word we tend to toss between us in discussions with each other, particularly in reference to our relationships with partners, those both past and present, as if it were an overly-inflated conversational basketball.
A word that speaks of roadblocks that never fa...

Ten years ago, Carolyn, a 25-year-old wife and mother, thought she'd found the ultimate diet plan. After she ate, she'd either thrust a finger down her throat and force herself to vomit or she would swallow a handful of laxatives.
Once she grew accustomed to the process of routinely purging her ...

It started with a gift.
A simple little anniversary gift we wanted to give Rhonda and Tom, an active-duty Navy couple who have lived in our neighborhood for the last five years.
The gift? We volunteered to keep their children overnight so that they could spend one entire evening completely a...

Can you make someone fall in love with you? Yes, you can.
With insight, ingenuity, and enough restraint, you can truly make someone fall in love with you. But only - and I do stress this - only if the individual involved possesses the potential for loving you.
As much as we may wish we cou...

Intuitively speaking, keeping love alive, when so much of the outside world threatens to overwhelm it, is one of the most difficult challenges we will ever face.
You might be thinking: How in the world can that be? If you're really in love with each other, keeping love alive between you shouldn'...

It began the week before Easter: An impassioned relationship on the Internet between an attractive, single woman in Maryland and a junior account executive in Florida.
Brad, divorced for three years, was busy at the time suffering through medical leave following extensive knee surgery. With nothi...

Most men don't want to talk about it.
Becoming the target of a woman's obsessive nature and being unable to extricate themselves from it when a relationship is over makes a man look weak and cowardly, they say.
Quite a few refuse to believe it can even happen. And yet, it does happen, a...

Dianne, a beautiful woman in her late 30's, recently celebrated her fifth anniversary. The fifth anniversary of her own personal quest to find the man of her dreams, that is.
According to her calculations, she has thus far dated 12 military men, 9 police officers, 5 fireman, 3 pilots and 2 lawyer...

Two old friends and I recently started conversing through email about our family backgrounds.
His has been less than stellar; in fact, Joe admitted he has been essentially kicked to the curb by his family, emotionally and otherwise, for leaving his hometown and making the needs of his career as ...

Sexual attraction may bring two people together, but sexual attraction certainly won't keep them together.
Marriages and other permanent relationships will only last for the long haul when they have been built on a solid foundation of compatibility and friendship.
