    Opinion on Job Change...

    Hi there: I agree that if you look at your financial situation and find that you will be able to still make it financially with the lower paying job, then I would seriously consider that option. If you feel like you cannot take the paycut, then I would continue to look for a position in...

    What is your dream job?

    I love reading about other people's dream jobs! I came to the conclusion a few years back that although I do like my job, the fact is that I don't think I can stay with any job for 40 years of working. So, hopefully, I'll find a few dream jobs along the way! Jane/Lioness - maybe you...

    What is your dream job?

    Every few years, I start to feel like I need a complete change in what I do for a living...I'm, once again, getting that feeling after about 7 years in the public school system. I think my dream job is to be a novelist. I'd love to be able to weave fabulous tales and then actually sell them...

    My daughter has Lyme Disease

    Hi there: I don't have much experience with Lyme, but my nephew, who was 3 years old at the time, did have it last summer. He ended up with Bells Palsy, balance problems, etc. It took an excessive period of time before he was actually diagnosed; however, the good news is that he did respond...

    Major vent!!! Shot right in my achilles' heel!!

    Hi Jerry: I'm totally embarrassed to say that I just sat here for about 5 minutes trying to figure out what the word was...duh! :) Anyway, although I'd be fuming too, I hope that you don't let someone else's complete stupidity get you down for the entire day. Hope you're feeling better now...

    Acceptance? (long)

    Hi Laura: I don't post much, but feel compelled to say that you look fabulous in your recent road trip photos. Moving toward a place where you truly appreciate yourself on the inside and outside is liberting and I think it pulls more positive energy into your life all around - which is why I...

    Am I crazy for not taking the job?

    Thank youl, thank you Thanks everyone for all of the input. I feel so much better today about the whole thing. I'm so glad I posted here because it was difficult to really listen to myself when I was getting the message that maybe it would be wise to take the new job. Although I'm not in a...

    Career and children – need your thoughts (REALLY long)

    I have to say that this post is right up my alley today as I just turned down a large pay increase for the additional flexibility my current job provides me in terms of time with my girls. The responses I got here made me feel so much better about my decision as well. So here goes my...

    Am I crazy for not taking the job?

    Thanks everyone! I actually am feeling so much calmer and more at ease now that I've made the decision so I think it was the correct one for me. At this point, I think it's more important for me to find ways to make due with what I have in order to be able to have the opportunity to spend more...

    Am I crazy for not taking the job?

    Hi there: I need some input because I think people close to me may be too close to the situation. I'm a sped teacher and recently I applied for a job in another school district. They offered me the job at $10,000 more than I make now, which would be great. HOWEVER, I would have to cancel a...

    recovery week

    I love the napping idea! :) I think I'm going to have to try some stretching or just low intensity walking workouts or something. I can handle one or two days off - I always take at least one day off per week, but after a few days I get fidgety about it. I guess I just have trouble sitting...

    recovery week

    Hi there: I am wondering how people here deal with a recovery week. I really haven't taken one all calendar year, except I have incorporated lighter weeks when I have been tired. Well, last week I noticed I was having a harder time keeping up my motivation and intensity levels, and my joints...

    eHarmony experiences?

    I also tried e-harmony. I did meet a couple of nice men, but didn't find anyone with whom I wanted to continue dating - no real chemistry there I guess. Also, many of the matches I got were located a great distance from me. The closest one that I actually met lives about 90 minutes from me...

    make up question

    Thank you! I think I'll try grab some neutrogena, as well as order some samples from larenim. I just threw away all the mineral make-up I bought and I'm starting from scratch again with all my make-up. Hopefully new make-up will alleviate the problem! Thanks again for the suggestions. I...

    make up question

    Hi there, I have a question about make up and hope that I'll get some good advice here. A few months ago I started using the new mineral make-up from Loreal (foundation and powder finisher). Anyway, lately (over the past 6 weeks or so) I've noticed that my skin has been breaking out some -...

    cardio coach question

    Hi there: I would like to run in a couple of 5k races this summer. Actually, I hate running, but I think that at some point I'll start to love it if I just keep at it! :) Anyway, after reading all of the posts about cardio coach, I was wondering which one might motivate me when running...

    Thanks for getting rid of the blahs

    Hi Cathe: I just wanted to tell you...whenever I am feeling stressed, overwhelmed or just blah, I pop in one of your workouts and always feel much better afterwards. Today was one of those overwhelming, blah days and even though I only had 45 minutes or so to workout, I popped in Low Max and...
