D. Walls Say What?!?!
It's Just My Honest Opinion
Advice
Ask D. Walls
Feb 7th
Well it’s the beginning of a new week and as usual I am dispensing my personal, relationship, and life advice. It’s another week of Ask D. Walls, you have questions and I have answers!
Dear D. Walls,
I am 18 and a student. I recently slept with a guy at work and he has not paid attention to me since. I have totally fallen for him.
We have known each other since high school and he was always a little shy. Every since we got intimate he hasn’t even spoken to me let alone looked at me. Why won’t he speak to me, let alone date me?

Ex Sex… Is Sleeping With An Ex Ok?
Jan 24th
Ok so I was watching Cougar Town the other night (don’t judge me, it’s super funny), and the episode mainly revolved around whether or not it’d be possible to have sex with an ex without one of the parties getting some of the old feelings back.
We all know how it goes, you promise yourself that you wouldn’t have anything to do again with the ex and removed any trace of the relationship from your home and of course facebook. Then one night it happens — you are out at a bar and run into your former partner. You have a few drinks and reminisce about old times and find yourself strangely aroused. The next morning arrives and you awaken to find the loser next to you in your bed, causing you to put a pillow over your head in regret. Your ex wakes up and says, “I had a great time with you. Do you want to do it again?”
Sound familiar? If you have slept with your ex-partner, you are not alone. It’s only natural to want to return to what’s familiar. How often have you heard someone say, “We never really got along — but the sex was great,” or “We had nothing in common except for the bedroom.” Read the rest of this entry »
Can Will Power Alter Your Fate?

A Guest Post By Lesley Parker
I believe that I am my biggest ally and my greatest historian.
Have you noticed the commercials on television regarding asbestos and mesothelioma? The commercials advises you that it’s some type of cancer but they never really tell you what type of cancer. According to www.survivingmesothelioma.com , “Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer in which malignant (cancerous) cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the body’s internal organs.”¹
A family man, Rhio O’Connor was diagnosed with mesothelioma and given a life expectancy of one year. Rhio refused to accept such a limited fate. The conventional method was rounds of chemotherapy, to attempt to suppress the disease and allow him to live for approximately a year.His quality of life would not be great due to the side effects of chemotherapy. He studied his options and chose to use an alternative method of diet and health. He chose to eat organic food and take a vitamin regimen that would cost him $1000 a month.

Goodbye 2009… Hello 2010!!!
Jan 1st
As we bring another year to a close lets take a moment to reflect on the year that was 2009. At midnight last night when we ushered in another year we’re not just saying good by to 2009 we’re saying good by to an entire decade.
An old Hopi saying goes “You must live your life from beginning to end. No one else can do it for you.”
20o9 was a extremely slightly depressing year for most average Americans, from the bad economy, home foreclosures, foiled terrorist plot, health care debates, and the many celebrity deaths it just wasn’t a good year for us here in the US of A.
But as we start the new year with a clean slate we can take this opportunity to remember all the things about 2009 we didn’t like and make a change for the better.
No more complaining 2010 is the start of a new decade and the start of new beginnings!
What are you looking forward to in 2010??

10 Tips For 20 Somethings
Jun 21st
Over the last few weeks as I’ve slowly crept closer and closer to my 20th birthday I’ve been doing a lot of reflection on the last 20 years of my life or at least the parts that I actually still remember. There isn’t a lot about myself I would change going into the next decade however I did find a list of things everyone in their 20’s should work on improving about themselves. Not saying completely change who you are as a person, (although, some of the people I went to high school with could use an inner make-over), but read these and think about them as ways to make you a better person and enjoy your 20’s that much more.
1. Stop comparing. Don’t look at everyone else around you to determine your worth. There will always be someone more successful, richer, prettier, wittier, thinner, and so on. Who cares what your friends are doing? Focus on what you want and be grateful for what you already have. Find individuals who inspire you rather than people you attempt to measure up to. We are all on different paths, carve your own.
2. Stop caring about what other people think. Other people’s opinion of you or your choices is just that – an opinion, not the truth. It’s your life so get in the habit now of living it on your terms. Don’t let your fear of someone else’s reaction stand in the way of your dreams. Be kind, but be you. And most importantly, don’t personalize things. Often people give us feedback that is a bit rough around the edges. You can still hear the feedback if it is relevant, truthful or helpful without getting hurt.
3. Don’t wait for permission, approval or validation. Many of today’s twenty-somethings grew up with over-involved parents who guided their path and patted them on the back along the way. Now it’s time to be your own head cheerleader.
