Another part of gratitude is giving. When you can give without expecting anything in return you are truly displaying gratitude. When you give it comes back to you, your blessings triple. Try doing some of these simple acts of kindness: 1)Pay for someones meal at McDonald's. 2)Leave a huge tip after dinner. 3)Hold the door open for a stranger. 4)Give compliments. 5)Smile and offer comforting words. 6)Pay the toll for a stranger behind you in line. 7)Pay for someones groceries. 8)Buy lunch for a friend or stranger. 9)Send someone a drink. 10)Buy a friend their favorite candy bar or chips. 11)Tell everyone you appreciate them and incorporate thanking individuals in advance. Implement gratitude in your life and watch success implant itself on you. Happy Thanksgiving! ~Karlyn LeBlanc

Why do I allow my negative emotions to get the best of me? Sometimes its best to just chill (sit back, relax, and process my thoughts). When a person rattles your spirit they win. Getting angry, lashing out, arguing, and stewing in misery does nothing for you. However, it gives the other person an inflated ego. They instantly know where your thoughts, obsessions, desires, and loyalty lay. You're basically allowing them to puppeteer you and steal your joy. One may also see being emotional as a sign of weakness. And if its displayed at the wrong time it very well may be. Do card dealers allow you to see their cards? No, it's a mystery. And you must remain that way too. Never show your cards. Keep your emotions in your pocket and release them in private. Learn to control what comes out of your mouth. Put on your poker face. Smile, play it cool, and choose to be happy.     Karlyn LeBlanc

When you can totally be appreciative for what you have, including the small simple things that you usually take for granted, your life will flourish and you will be blessed with more. Begin each day with gratitude. Wake up and start thanking God for all the things you are grateful for. Make an ABUNDANCE list. Write down 20 things you are thankful for.

Well, I'm sick of the two minute love making. Since he's turned 40 we have 30 minutes of oral sex and 2 minutes of penetration, if that. I mean how much licking and sucking can a person take? Our love life is so routine. The same thing over and over again. He had me thinking I was doing something wrong. "Baby, don't move so much." "It's not wet enough." "Let me lick it a little more." I didn't realize it, but he was doing anything and everything to prolong penetration. "It's been a few days that's why I was so quick." Excuses. Excuses. I was being manipulated. LeBlanc Replies:  Yes, at 40, a woman's sex drive speeds way over the speed limit. She wants it and she wants it bad. Her body is lubricated and she's ready to perform all night.
