This is Not Your Momma's Advice...

I am not a professional in the area of sociology. What I am is an observer of life. I don't have any degrees or licenses in psychology, counseling or therapy. What I do have is insight that is raw, unbiased and most important, real. Any advice or opinion I have is strongly felt and for that reason, I have been criticized and praised by friends and family.

This blog now contains actual Dear Abby entries, followed by my own advice. Hopefully, you will be compelled to share some of your own concerns and problems. If you do, I promise to give you the Answer, Direction, Voice, Insight, and Counsel that leads to your Enlightment (ADVICE) - at least the way that I see it. Once more, I am not a professional in this area, but sometimes, that's what we need. We need someone who can go beyond what the textbooks say, and tell you what life says!

I agree that some problems require the experience and expertise of a professional, and to give the wrong advice to someone who is already emotionally overwhelmed can cause more harm than good. But many times, all people need is advice that's nothing more than good, old-fashioned common sense. This is that advice! Some people's problem has been that everything is sugarcoated for them. Nobody has taken the time to "tell it like it is." Well, this is that time. And you don't need a professional degree to do it!

If after reading these entries, you feel compelled to solicit my thoughts about your own situation, great! If you don't, that's great also. Just enjoy these entries, my comments and share with me your approval or disapproval for what I have to say! I'm open to that too.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

Peace!
