RELATED: The Tragic History Of American Indian Boarding Schools And Why You Should Care My children are still in the very early years of their education (they range in age from three to seven), but I can already observe some pronounced differences in how children are educated here vs. in the US: 1.

With all this focus on outer change, it’s easy to neglect the inner dimension of change, which includes unseen forces like intention, clarity, energy, and momentum. They may be invisible to the eye, but inner New Year’s resolutions actually determine whether we fulfill our intentions or abandon them altogether. Just as thought precedes action, our external goals must be fueled by an inner New Year’s resolution if we’re to have any success in bringing them to fruition....
Now don’t get me wrong. I wasn’t active in online dating for four years straight. I was on and off. I took my profile down for months at a time while I was dating someone or just taking a breather. However, for the most part, those years of my life were largely dominated by my online dating experiences, which to be clear, were mostly terrible. My first online match-up heartbreak was a product of Eharmony....
Oftentimes, it’s because one or both parties stop putting forth an effort. Sometimes couples stop nurturing their relationship. Others lose their focus and/or forget the importance of effort, compassion and gratitude. We can get so caught up in our own little world that we forget these matters of importance. It’s easy to get into a rut.

Life is hard. Sometimes our minds can play tricks on us by telling us we are unworthy. These thoughts limit what we are capable of and strip away the power we have to create the lives we want. There are five numbers in our lives that we all tend to concentrate on. And with a negative perspective, these numbers can limit us time and time again. Let’s rewrite the story on these numbers so they empower us instead of restricting us....
We all have that strong friend. They’re the person who has gone through hell and manages to come back with a smile on their face. They’re the person who is there for everyone with a hug, and the most amazing advice you could ever ask for. They are there for us at our highest points, and they are there for us at our lowest. And, of course, they support us with every stupid decision that we make along the way....
In my family, we call my mom “Pollyanna” because no matter what happens, she has a positive look on life. I’ve never seen my mom be negative, nor have I seen her get upset about her situation. She has faced two different diagnoses in her life — one for multiple sclerosis, and one for Celiac Disease — and she faced them both head-on, with a strong attitude. She learned all she could about her conditions and then chose to look at them as opportunities to grow stronger, instead of as weaknesses to bring her down....
How many internet philosophers does it take to cancel a Will Smith? Clearly, not enough, but the memes are golden and the discourse is tense. The truth is, Will Smith shouldn’t be canceled at all and should actually be forgiven. At around 8 p.m. last night, Smith issued a public apology to the Oscars audience, to Rock, to the Williams family, and to the Academy.

When the waitress came to take their order, the guy annouced that he had come up with an odd “game” that would determine how big of a tip the server would get. “Our waitress comes over asking us what we want to order.

However, one woman may have made one of the most epic moves toward the women her husband cheated on her with and people are applauding her for it. The woman ranked her husband’s mistresses and had mostly positive things to say about them. In a TikTok video that has generated nearly 2 million likes, Hillary Zinks (@hillary.zinks) revealed that her pilot husband cheated on her last year with multiple women....
However, what she got instead, was a “20ish” year-old waitress who wouldn’t “take her eyes off my husband and threw some inappropriate comments at him” every time she came to the table. When she got home, she left a review online and was contacted by the manager, who ended up firing the waitress and “ruined her career.” Did this woman overreact to the waitress’s comments that ended up getting her fired?...
The starts by telling readers that her 36-year-old sister died from cancer a month ago. She describes the loss as “devastating” and says, “words can’t express how we feel.” RELATED: Man’s Birthday Gift To Brother-In-Law Sparks Feud Within Family In the wake of her sister’s death, her brother-in-law was having trouble paying off debts and asked the woman and her husband to take himself and his daughters (their nieces), ages 13 and 16....
Not seeming to understand why her friend would ask Mia not to do her makeup, she asked for an explanation — something that her friend was unwilling to give. Her explanation was that Mia would only be going out with her and her boyfriend. “Well it’s just gonna be me you and my boyfriend,” her friend explained when Mia asked why. “You don’t need to.” If her friend thinks that, just because Mia is only going out with her and her boyfriend means she needn’t wear makeup, she probably doesn’t understand why she wears makeup in the first place....

We were at a campground, on a family vacation. I had been taking too long in the shower, according to her, and she’d come to get me so that we could go do whatever excursion she’d scheduled for that day. The topic of my body had no place in the conversation that I can recall. But, still, there it was. (There it always is, really.) I vaguely remember her commenting on my food choices from the previous evening, but 24 years later I’ve no idea what I ate that night or how much....
We invest our time, energy, and hopes into something that has been doomed before it even started. We think that the more we do, the better our chance of having a real relationship will be. The signs are often loud and clear, but that doesn’t mean we choose to see them right off the bat especially when we’re madly in love with the other person. Here are some signs of a dead-end relationship that you might ignore, but can’t deny: 1....
Is raising a happy, healthy, well-behaved child truly more difficult than rocket science? Should it truly require a Ph.D. or are we — as parents — looking to get off the hook for being judged for our parenting fails? I tend to believe it’s more about the latter. So I have taken my years of field study in the arena of coaching parents and compiled this list … Here are the top 10 parenting fails and how to prevent them: 1....
According to the Pew Research Center in 2010, the rate of divorce is on the decline (along with the rate of marriage). This success is likely due, in large part, to the fact that people are waiting longer than ever to walk down the aisle. On average, women and men are delaying marriage by 5-6 years compared to people in 1950, leading some to conclude that getting married when you’re a little older means you’re both more stable and better prepared for the commitment....
