Posted on February 12, 2013 by D3 Support

Nag, Nag, Nag! (Delaware Coast Press)

Posted on February 6, 2013 by D3 Support

Few things are more annoying than being nagged (except perhaps being accused of it). Nagging comes from anxiety over the false belief that repetition creates motivation. It never does, and in fact, it lowers respect and reveals weakness by implying, … Continue reading →

Posted on February 5, 2013 by D3 Support

How often have we heard — or even said, ‘I need a drink! I’ve had a hard day. I need a nice big meal — or a cigarette!’ In the face of stress, it can be tempting to ‘self-medicate’ with … Continue reading →

What Lurks Beneath the Sanctimonius Disdain for Money (DE Wave)

Posted on January 29, 2013 by D3 Support

Share your dollars with sense (Delaware Coast Press)

Posted on January 23, 2013 by D3 Support

Let them try! (Delaware Wave)

Posted on January 22, 2013 by D3 Support

Hypocrisy is unhealthy! (Delaware Coast Press)

Posted on January 16, 2013 by D3 Support

Saying “no” for no reason … Not smart! (Delaware Wave)

Posted on January 15, 2013 by D3 Support

Guilt is Not Love (Delaware Coast Press)

Posted on January 9, 2013 by D3 Support

Is your kid an adult? (Delaware Wave)

Posted on January 8, 2013 by D3 Support
