Sharing something of value is a gift our society has forgotten. We share for money or tweets. People are on “speed dial” when it comes to publicly sharing their selfies, new haircuts or their new promotions. Do we share because we really care? Or do we share because we get something in return? As I …
Fired for no reason: Discriminated based on personality. Whether you can be fired for no reason, when you did nothing wrong, depends on your employment status and specifically on whether you are an at-will employee.

Honesty has scared men away. When creating my profile on Match.com, I was being honest when I said, “I don’t brush my hair everyday”. Honestly, it’s in a ponytail and it’s fine. And honestly, I really don’t care about taking long walks on the beach, holding hands and listening to the midnight rain. For …

We also are joined with our families and friends, decorated trees, sparkling lights and beautifully wrapped gifts to exchange on Christmas morning. Roasted turkey for dinner, cozy …
