We use laughter in such variety that it touches all parts of our lives. Today we’ll look at five types of laughter that we use to stitch together our collective experience. Laughter is an inseparable part of the human experience. Especially when you’re talking to yourself because, for most people, they’re the funniest person they know. I know what that’s…
Things always get worse before they get better, and when they do get better, they get worse. It’s a paradoxical situation that happens when big improvements are made – the door is opened to growth and along with it comes a brand new set of problems. When a person learns to ride a bicycle they add to their life a…
We all choose our own pain. Whether you’ve stepped on a Lego or you’re projectile vomiting out of the back window of your Uber, it was your choices have led you down this path. I’m sure you have an idea of how one’s choices could turn them into a puke sprinkler in the wee hours of the night, but how…
Commercials – there are few things so annoying as having your attention interrupted to be told how unhappy you are and how happy you could be if you just spent a little bit of money.

How many of you have been in this situation – you’re sharing a conversation with someone and the topic rolls over a problem that’s troubling them… “I just can’t seem to get enough sleep!
