The Digital Info Diva, Our official Customer Service Expert says:

I'm a real believer in the laws of attraction, positive thinking and visualization. What most people don't know is that you need to attach positive feelings to the things you are trying to attract because if you don't fiercely believe you can have them, you'll only attract what you don't want. This is true in your personal life and in business. But it doesn't hurt to also know the right people who can help you along the way.

Improving Father-Child Relationships

Improving Father-Child Relationships.

As Father's Day approaches, it seems appropriate to look at father-child relationships. A father's role has changed over the past 50 years. More than just providers, fathers now are more hands on with their children. We don't just have "soccer moms" anymore. We now have "soccer dads" as well. However, all fathers--at one time or another--feel that they just aren't as in touch, or involved, with their children as they should be.

Making Marriage Last

Christian coach , David Evans said in “How to Live Happily Ever After”  that...

 Somebody asked me just the other day when they found out my wife and I have been married for 50 years, 'How in the world could you be married to the same person for 50 years?' My response is, 'I'm not married to the same person.' If you're lucky and if you're living your life in a thoughtful way, you're always becoming a new person. You're growing into something maybe that you'd never imagined. We're always becoming new people… so that's kind of the adventure of marriage."
