It's My Way!

discussing simple ways to become more productive and more efficient while working online & from home. In my post on how to break bad work habits, I briefly mentioned Facebook as a potential "Time Suck" - especially in an online business where Social Marketing is incredibly important. This is why I installed 4 different Facebook apps, and here's HOW I use them...

different ways to different people or groups”. Many people many not realize it but they usually have double stands. They may expect men to be doctors and women to be nurses. They may expect blacks to be in the slums and the whites to be in Beverly hills. They may expects dogs to be happy and cheerful and cats to be evil and boring. In some ways you can think of it as stereotyping people, places and things. I can tell you from experience that being an Indian girl can be a little complicated. My grandmother

the summer after my Sophomore year, and I am going to the golf course. I walk into the office of THE Jonathan Beaver and see someone else. I couldn’t quite tell what it was but, it looked like a raccoon… Instead though it was indeed Jonathan with a swollen black and blue nose, he managed to hit a golf ball straight up trying a trick and broke his nose. This man is many things in my life, he is the golf pro, who is also my boss, he's my swing coach, my to be faith mentor, and my friend. He has taught

roots at home has enabled me to learn my personal beliefs, my 10 commandments. As a kid, the golden rule is one of the first lessons most kids are taught and it's one I have continued to firmly stand by. “Treat others the way you would one to be treated”, this rule reminds me to be kind and always give others a chance. It’s important because I hate being given an attitude, disrespected, treated rudely and the list goes on. So, if I would not like to be treated

online game that everyone plays? Well, it's not the game itself, rather how it has grown on me. You can ask my friends, they will tell you how much I talk about this game on a daily basis. I have turned into someone who can't stop talking about it. The game mechanics itself to the stories behind each character, it is something that is truly beloved to me. I am Jose Humberto Aguilar and I want to make my future something that involves this game whether it's working for Riot Games, being a professional

compliment: that my chronic illness hasn’t yet affected my appearance? There is no real way to look like you have a chronic illness. Maybe when I’m in my back brace it’s more noticeable, or when I’m forced into my various other braces and supportive wraps it’s apparent that my body is in a constant war with itself. Newsflash: I am sick. I was sick when I was born, I am sick right now, and I will be sick when I die. I am, forever and always, sick. I have Sjogren’s Syndrome and my body is tearing at

Whether it's because it's broadly available, or because it's often so easily attainable or because it feels like it's going to help me in some way, I'm an information junkie. But lately, more is not as helpful as a little. A little information can help to go deeper and even wider. As an introvert, that's often my preference.

pouring my heart into six different types of dance, for twelve years now. Starting at the young age of five, dancing was always the one thing that came easily to me.Throughout elementary school, I was constantly bullied and picked on by my classmates. Even at home I was in an unsafe environment. I had to call the police multiple times on my mentally unstable step siblings because they had either hurt my sister, mother and I, or they were going to. Every night I would lie awake, behind my locked bedroom

it comes to sexual minorities.  On one hand, it's seen as the ultimate liberation: "They'll do it with anyone...how hot!".  But when it comes to seeking mainstream social acceptance, we can be seen as the worst in sexual perversion: "They'll do it with anyone...how shameful!".  There are many theories and opinions on bisexuals, some I agree with, others do not fit my definition of being bisexual.  The important thing is that bisexuality is real, it's not a "transition period" to being gay, a homosexual

It’s midday in June and the sun is at its peak, bathing the entire Yucatan peninsula in its warm yellow glow. The waves lap the shore of the resorts rhythmically, and the squawking tourists flock to the sandy beaches, hoping to eat up every last bit of the glorious sunlight. I pull out my phone and look on Google Maps; Michael and I make up a tiny pinpoint on the 26-mile coast, slowly working its way up towards the tip of the island, Zona Hotelera. We’ve been walking for almost 20 minutes, passing
