It recently came to my attention that the number of dogs, cats, birds, pet rats and others that are being dropped off to shelters across America has increased 30% over the last year.

Most holiday seasons I am able to control the battle of the bulge. However, this holiday season even with my expertise in emotional weight gain, I just don’t feel like being my normal well disciplined emotionally managed self. I don’t know about you but this year I would like to run through a minefield of potatoes, pizza, chocolate, bread, pasta, pie, butter, muffins, quesadillas, just anything and everything with total reckless abandon.

The love of his parents and charitable contributions are well documented. A flash of his smile lights up any room and his consideration of his fans adoration is known around the world.

Tiger has never claimed to be perfect; in fact he has never given an interview discussing his personal life, his personal feelings or even his view of himself as an elite athlete.

When Rosie the Riveter’s husband returned from WWII so did her life without options outside of the kitchen. American life was set in stone; men provided while women were the caretakers and housewives. This is still the American dream so many want but in reality can’t achieve because they do not have enough money to support it and therefore they feel trapped and frustrated by the responsibility to maintain it. Not to mention the relationship between the spouses has resulted more often than not in doubt and emotional stress.

Once your loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or Dementia your most immediate response is to become educated on the medical prognosis, behavioral symptoms, and medication. However, what is most often overlooked is the emotional transition that you will go through as you watch helplessly as your loved one transitions from mom, dad, spouse, sister, brother, grandparent or friend to a state of disorientation, helplessness, agitation and worst of all a child like persona that is no longer the person you once knew.
