Texting is a modern marvel. Where before a call was needed now a simple text can save us time, a location can be turned into a pin to give us directions, or a phone number can be added directly into our contacts.
For those of us that remember beepers it’s a huge improvement. Texting can also be incredibly annoying.

The other day I was at Cairo Healthcare and there was a cute girl working the desk there. We talked about our kids, her annoying pet dog, and our jobs when I noticed she had a sore throat.
When I tried to ask her about it she said, “No, no, my kid's sick.”
I was skeptical because her voice was rattling and she was straining to speak.
I hope your kid’s feeling better. Are you sure you didn’t catch it?

Did any of you all catch John Mayer on the Today Show? He gave an interview with Ronan Farrow where he talked about being a recovering ego addict and insisted that he’s a different guy from the man who did all of that kissing and telling and gave those bizarrely inflammatory interviews. He’s moved to Montana and found home, he says. I don’t know John Mayer at all, so I can’t tell you one way or the other if he’s changed. But, I can give you some hints on how to tell if your man, or ex-man, has actually changed.

Are you all seeing all of the videos and hashtags for #DearMe? It’s a campaign YouTube started in honor of International Women’s Day, which was March 8th. People are saying what they would tell younger versions of themselves if they could and it’s quite moving. I’m not quite sure why this is just targeted at women and girls, because a lot of what’s being said can apply to anyone, but it’s a great idea. The goal of it is to confront self-doubt, bullying, and pressure. But, these videos and messages aren’t just relevant on International Women’s Day. They’re filled with great life advice that can apply to any day of the year. So, I thought I’d round up some of my favorites. Hopefully, they’ll inspire you, man or woman, to live your best life and know that your future is going to be bright.

I know, I know…some of you are rolling your eyes at the title of my blog. Seriously, what can The Bachelor teach us about love? When the first season aired in 2002, I too thought, What are these women thinking? Where’s their self-respect? But when I watched this season’s episodes, I had a different take on the show. It’s not because it’s any different now than 13 years ago, but because I’m different. In 2002 I was still in college. Now, I’m a dating and relationship coach who has spent the last several years specializing in love and researching what makes relationships work. It’s been my job to help my clients figure out why they act like they do when it comes to love. Are people truly crazy and irrational, or can behaviors actually make sense? In the context of love and our need to connect with a person, the bachelorettes’ behaviors seem pretty reasonable. Here are 4 lessons from The Bachelor that can be applied to your love life:

When you drive down Washington Boulevard in West LA the beautiful, snow-covered San Berndino Mountains frame the city’s skyline. Those mountains are breath taking.
But West LA is full of over priced disgusting buildings. It kills the mood. You’re drilling around sunset. The mountains catch your eye. It’s serene and peaceful. Than the ugly buildings come into view. It ruins the journey.
What does this have to do with finding a man?
