If he sounds too good to be true ... he probably is! Last night ABC’s Primetime Crime aired a segment on Jeffrey Marsalis, the 35 year old match.com “Mr. Right”, who pretended he was a doctor, astronaut and CIA agent to facilitate his serial rape scam on single women. As I watched the story unfold, I had to admit he took the “player” process to an all time low! Previously acquitted on numerous rape charges over the course of several years, Marsalis was finally convicted and sentenced to LIFE imprisonment, with eligibility for parole in 15 years.

Sometimes the task is so overwhelming, I’m trapped by my computer while my friends and family feel as if I’ve fallen off the planet. I don’t mean to ignore them! I’ve just been sucked into an unfamiliar world that beacons with an alluring whisper like a mermaid’s song that enchants all who hear her, distracting and enticing them enough to walk off a ship’s deck or to run their ship Read more “Am I Birthing A Book Or An Author?” →

The serendipity of coming across a dusty piece of paper, yellowed by age, that had years before slipped from its worn tape and fallen to rest under my refrigerator, seems more than chance.

None of that defines who you are?

You know what I mean, the excitement that lives somewhere between your childhood dreams and your hopes for the future, your passion. There is Read more “Do you need PASSION in your life?” →

To a Child – Love is spelled T-I-M-E: What a great story! You never know just how much you touch the lives of those around you. I have heard people say over and over again that one man … or woman … can’t really make a difference. I’ve probably even said it on occasion myself, but I believe … YOU can make a difference and touch the lives of others, and in the process, you will enrich your own life.
