I never thought that I'd mistreat others the way I was mistreated earlier in my career. And yet I did.

"When taking personality assessments, it's important to respond honestly to ensure that your true self comes through, rather than just what you think employers want to hear."

Honestly, when I went into the house, day one: Fun, day two: Fun... Well, actually wasn't that fun, with you know who [Mickey Rourke], but then day three... I was now in my own thoughts, away from everyone I know, away from outsiders' opinions, away from everything, and I sat with myself, and from that point on, I realized things that I was OK with in my life that I should never have been OK with.

I've had a project I worked on for years I kept under wraps for a while, mostly because it was 100% for self-satisfaction, and I didn't actually think it would go commercial.

"A breakup or an abandonment of any kind means your life no longer has anything to do with theirs. Their successes don't mean you're losing, and their failures don't mean you're winning."

Unfortunately, 2011 was the era of overly-plucked eyebrows, ultra-caked bronzer, concealer lips, and a completely unreasonable amount of spidery mascara and black eyeliner.

The environment is working to keep us isolated, afraid, and silenced.

I'm on the verge of becoming a reformed hoarder. I'm slowly sorting out all I've accumulated and love when everyone pisses off and I can pick a room to start working through.

Joe's dilemma in 'Dark Winds' raises a poignant question: Should our past choices define us, or is it our present actions that truly matter?

Trauma plots are not above evaluation...what troubles me in this increasingly consolidated recoil is its wholesale exile of authors from self-knowledge.

"The meditation guidance encourages flexibility in physical movements, allowing participants to engage with their bodies in a relaxed manner, ultimately promoting a more comfortable experience."

Contentment has more to do with a heart of joy as life unfolds than it ever will with a life filled with stuff.

When I look back over this year, that's something that actually brings me the most satisfaction. The most joy is working out certain situations and then turning into a different player.
