"NOBODY'S PERFECT". It's the answer that we live by, the answer that keeps us sane, and the answer that often times lets us off the hook, perhaps too often. One might ask, "Why strive for the goal of perfection which is never attainable?" The most important aspect of living such a life is the journey. Why?

Aggressiveness, today, seems to be the key to having it all as a woman, but is it really the answer to all?

Happiness. We all want it and some spend a lifetime trying to find it. My take on it is that happiness cannot be found but instead must come on it's own. But how can we be sure that it will come?

Satisfaction in reaching the full capacity of any goal can only be found when one has the ability to obtain such peace. And how do you obtain it? One word. Truth. There are some
