Dear Laura, Why am I not having any success attracting the “right” type of person to create a lasting relationship? When I do find someone and we are mutually attracted, he is not the type to enter a long term relationship. Lately I just don’t seem to be able to meet/attract anyone.

Dear Laura, Since last September, I have been wanting to leave my corporate job (of 12 years) and start my own small business. This would mean giving up the success and title I have achieved, the security of regular paychecks, benefits and health insurance–at least initially. My wife and friends think I am crazy to want to leave my so-called prestigious position for less. I feel if I don’t try I will never know. Do…

Dear Laura I work in a large office and am having trouble with a coworker “T”. This person sits near me and is constantly complaining, negative and needy.

Dear Laura, Over 3 and a half years ago I dealt with an episode of cancer. Since then, I have been well, and undergoing a truly beautiful spiritual awakening.

I am getting enormous pressure from my family and doctor to undergo the same invasive, toxic, radical treatment I used before. I know…
