Sal DeFilippo - Saying ‘Thanks’ should be more than an annual affair

Thanksgiving has a different meaning to everyone.

For some, it’s about family, and spending time together. For others, it’s about stuffing yourself to the point where you can’t stuff any more. And for still others, it’s about watching football, sleeping, or preparing your strategy for Black Friday.

But there’s one common denominator – and it’s the obvious one. Thanksgiving, as it should be, it about giving thanks.

We are all grateful for things in our lives, and often take them for granted. But how frequently do we actually take the time to acknowledge those to whom we feel fortunate to have in our lives, whether as family, friends, colleagues or cohorts.

The truth is, this is something that we shouldn’t need a holiday to remind us to do, and it certainly shouldn’t be limited to once a year. So as you take the time to give thanks this year, add it to your 2014 calendar as perhaps a quarterly event.

It’s as much for your benefit as the people for whom you are showing gratitude. Since you have a week before the holiday, make a list of people/things/relationships you are truly thankful for in your life, and make a point to connect with all of them. Then be sure to save that list somewhere close by.

People love to be appreciated, and with good reason. And even though you’re sure a certain someone knows how grateful you are for their efforts, it ALWAYS feels great to hear it. And you know something? It feels great to SAY it, too!

I’m eternally thankful and indebted to those who have allowed me the privilege of getting to know them, coach them, and help them succeed over the years. If you’re in that group, THANK YOU!!! And thanks for everyone you tell about what I have to offer at amyapplebaum.com. Looking forward to many more connections and your help is invaluable and forever appreciated.

Have a healthy, happy and safe Thanksgiving weekend!

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
