When Money Stopped Being Funny
I won't bore anybody with the details of the history of the monetary system itself since that content has been widely available for some time now. What I want to talk about is a fundamental shift in how we view our economy where everything is meant to serve us as divine human beings, rather than feeling like we are slaving away to earn small amounts of ever-depreciating currency. At the end of the day, money is just a thought in our minds, some numbers changing on a screen, and a few coins dropped into the hat of the man busking on the street.

Always On Her Toes: Chapter 1
Dance, Karli, you’re depending on this show, I thought. I sighed, waiting for the music. I was dancing Lyrical today. The song was Dancing Queen by ABBA. It was seventies week this week, so I went with Lyrical. Lyrical was sometimes really easy and sometimes really hard. I’d contemplated not dancing, but if I was absent without an excuse, I’d be kicked out of my Dance School. If I didn’t dance, my PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) would kick back in.

Even if I knew I was right, society expects everything now to be kept quiet. One step over the line such as knowing another classmate's third-hour class, or remembering someone's birthday that isn't related to you could cost anyone the label of "stalker."

Why Women Aren't Attracted to Nice Guys
As a relationship writer, I get a lot of questions about love from just about everyone. I get questions from married men, single women, people in almost-relationships, and more. I've heard scandals, stories, and more confessions than I know what to do with. Such is the life of a love writer, I suppose.

The Modern Gentleman
So, you are looking to see what it means to become a "gentleman". Or, perhaps you are looking to find a "gentleman". This is your one stop article to help you either define a "gentleman" or to help you find a "gentleman". First, the definition of a gentleman, is as follows; "a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man". Obviously, the times have changed, and the notion "Chivalry is dead" goes around a lot, but it is not true.
