  I was mostly nice, except for times when I exploded emotion in an attempt to deal with conflict. I did not speak my mind even though I knew what I thought. What I didn't know so well was what I felt, what my needs were, and how to express them. It took me years to acknowledge that I was a People Pleaser. I am shifting away from that pattern of behavior and find great relief and satisfaction in the change. Here I am, an independent, successful woman with a mind of my own. How could I be a People Pleaser? Another term to describe this pattern is compliance, and that says more to me regarding my actions. I would…

Tired of winter? Who isn't -- except maybe pro-snowboarder Shaun Palmer and pro-skier Shane McConkey. Even people who make their living off of winter, like tire salesmen, chimney sweeps, and snowplow drivers, can't seem to wait for the frosty days to end. Fortunately, there's one good thing about cold weather: winter fashion. It's just fun, with all the layers and bold colors, not to mention the furry lambskin boots. This time of year, every glossy cover of Elle, Vogue, and Mademoiselle makes me dream of looking like one of those glam girls wrapped up in a delectable sweater and plush boots. Unfortunately, every time I try to mimic one of those magazine looks, everything goes astray. Just this week I…
