It is truly a sad state of affairs when the truth causes a controversy like this. The State of Georgia has taken the bold step of making some videos stating the truth about childhood obesity. The truth, it’s no fun being overweight.
But what is happening? People are complaining about the videos! Yup, drawing attention to the problem is considered politically incorrect. No solutions offered is the cry.
If it were easy, and solutions were just a matter of snapping your fingers, no one would be over-weight. but it does take work and it does take dedication AND IT TAKES EDUCATION. Read More …

That is a familiar sound I hear, especially from middle aged women. “I exercise every day. Pilates twice a week, weights twice a week and stair stepping on the other day. And I just can’t lose weight.”

There is diet of course. This is front and center in the issue of weight. An… Click To Read More

When it comes to a lack of ambition and no direction, today’s youth seem to have a strangle hold on this issue. Although what we define as youth keeps changing. From the teenagers whose favorite saying is “What ever” to the young adults who are discovering that they are not entitled to a good living.
As each generation grows up, it seems that the baby boomers had it best of all. Their parents had survived not just the Great Depression but World War II and the Korean War. The economy started on the greatest boom in the history of the world. Back then a high school diploma was a guarantee of a good job. And then the baby boomers grew up and suddenly you needed a college degree to get those good jobs. And now the children of the baby boomers are growing up and the goal posts have once again been moved.
There is no automatic job waiting for you just because you grew up in an affluent household. A high school diploma means

Have you ever had the feeling that life is passing you by?As middle age keeps on keeping on, I have noticed a growing trend in many clients. In fact, it is not just middle age clients who feel this way, I now see it in young adults as well as some who are into their golden years.
What I have seen is a deep desire to make sure that they do something with their lives, that they make a difference.
We can get trapped by life with all of its comforts and securities. A job that was never your dream job, but it was reliable and gave you security. A relationship that started as “less than the love of… Read More

I had a client come in to see me the other day. This fellow is a high paid lawyer who works for the upper echelons on Parliament Hill here in Ottawa, Ontario. And when you work for the powers that be, whether in the Prime Minister’s office or one of the mandarins, you have to produce.
And you have to be sharp! Like a razor blade, your mind has to be functioning with all cylinders firing.
And here was this fellow telling me that he couldn’t focus. “I can read the same page over and over again and …

Maybe it is just me getting older, but it seems that something just isn’t right. The Black Friday frenzy in the U.S. is now spreading into Canada this year with many stores advertising special “Black Friday Sales”. And as Stompin Tom Conners would say, “We’re busy saving money, spending money we don’t got”.
Shopping had become not just a pastime in our society but an

Who doesn’t like Facebook? It is truly a wonderful tool to keep in touch with friends and family. And not only a place to keep in touch but to get in touch. But I had an old friend of mine tell me a story the other day about the other side of face book.
