IconYou young women who have hooked up a lot (you know, you've had sex because you had 15 minutes, were a little horny, wanted a release, you wanted a little excitement, etc.) - do you feel better about yourself?  Does it make sex a more valued entity in your life?  I've been talking about this for decades.  Trivializing something so incredible is a mistake...

IconI've wanted to write to you for some time, but I'm just getting around to it now that my kids are finally in college. I was raised in a very liberal family and I worked right up until the time my first child was born (I was literally at work when I went into labor). I assumed I would go back to work soon after my son was born, but everything changed in those first few weeks. I instinctively knew my son needed me, and even though there was pressure from all sides to go back to work, including from my husband and his family, I held out. I wish I would have know about you then. I felt like I was the only one in the world making this decision (twenty-some years ago). More >>

IconI live in Southern California and have been listening to your program for about 3 years now. I can say that your program truly helped me understand my priority in life. I've been married for about 10 years and about 22 months ago was blessed with a beautiful daughter. Sadly, when my daughter was 3 months old, we decided to put her in a day care. Since the day care was closer to my work, I'm the one who has to drop her off at 8am and pick her up at 5pm. More >>

IconI have had it with Berkeley, California, that anti-American bastion of disloyalty to the values and existence of the United States of America. In February, 2008, the Berkeley City Council approved a measure calling for Marine recruiters to leave Berkeley, because they "are not welcome in our city." If recruiters chose to stay, they would do so as "uninvited and unwelcome intruders." The Council also applauded any residents or organizations that "volunteer to impede, passively or actively, by non-violent means, the work of any military recruiting office located in the City of Berkeley."  And a handful of folks did just that - some held up signs which said "No Military Predators in Our Town," or "Join the Marines.  Travel to Exotic Lands.  Meet Exciting and Unusual People - and Kill Them."

IconWe teach our kids to give gifts to other family members, and they often learn that you do that because that is what you are supposed to do, but these gifts are often given in exchange of gifts given to them. Let's talk about giving selflessly to people in need and teaching your child the same... More >>

IconThis past May, some punks who live in our neighborhood decided to break into our home. I surprised them by coming home early from our kindergartener's closing ceremony. Of course, I called the police and wanted to press charges. Shockingly, the 3 sets of idiots they have for parents were horrified! More >>
