Are All Cheaters Serial Cheaters?
No one, NO one, NO ONE is perfect—and people do make mistakes; however, there is a big difference between screwing up once—and being remorseful—versus making the same "mistake" over and over and over again.

Is He A Giver, Pleaser, Server or Fixer?
I have found that with many men there are four main attributes they will display to show you they care: give, please, serve or fix.

Random acts of Kindness are the Gift that Keeps on Giving
In the past, I've written about practicing daily Gratitude. What I discovered was that the more I make an effort to express any type of gratitude, the more I will find to be grateful for. Practicing random acts of kindness is just the same! I have discovered that there is a very real Karmic relationship between the loving kindness we put out there and the kindness that we receive.
