Market Street History
by Sadie Hess Sentimental Man, do I hate moving! It is always quite depressing to see the items you have accumulated over a short period of time. I happen to be a very emotional person, so there are usually a few boxes (yes, I said boxes!) of items labeled “sentimental”. And my Compass life is…

by Michael D. Help I remember distinctly the day that a Case Facilitator called me and asked for some help with a client. The request was pretty simple; the client (we’ll refer to her as Sheila) had not been doing too well lately and needed some “strong manly” physical lifting assistance to help transfer. She lived…
A Balloon in a Sword Fight
Touch Conversation I felt like a balloon in a sword fight yesterday. Everywhere I went, everyone I encountered was negative, rude and incredibly self-loathing.

Catching a Gator
Reality Tv Junkie I have a little confession to make. I’m a reality tv junkie. Yes, I know it’s awful so try not to judge me. But, I can’t help it – I love reality TV. One of my favorite shows is Gator Boys. I watch that show so much that I dream about catching…
Be Brave
By Cassandra Sales Have you ever seen the movie, What Happens in Vegas? It’s one of my husband and I’s favorite movie because it’s an accurate description of when we moved in together. No, we weren’t forced to do so like Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz were, but when you get two very strong willed,…
