With U.S. unemployment and layoffs reaching historically high levels, American workers are less secure in their jobs than ever before.  Experienced American workers in their prime earning years are being “downsized”, “right-sized” and “capsized”, even after years of dedicated and loyal service, because of structural factors beyond their control. And yet, these workers represent “human capital” ready, willing and able to continue to contribute to American Society and to the global economy. The Am …

All of us are spiritual. Yes, it's true: We were all born with this innate gift. We are spiritual even when we think are not being spiritual. Because spirituality is life and life is spiritual. Sometimes you feel the gifts, and sometimes you feel the work that should be done. So what is the ultimate goal of spirituality? It is to be blissfully happy and healthy as our unique selves. It is to become conscious and consciousness. It is to live in balance: where ever we live, who ever we are and in …

With many of their savings and retirement accounts wiped out due to the current recession, this group has been hung out to dry in the job seeking process. Even worse, the process of finding a job has dramatically changed from applyin …
