We look for the articles that present the subject clearly, and then
offer the reader steps, in an easy-to-read format, that will help them overcome,
deal with, or better understand the subject. Most of our articles are written
in this format. As a "self-help" magazine, our priority is to give our readers
straight-forward, to-the-point, useful solutions. Important:

Using Humor
We love articles that include humor, but only if humor is appropriate with the
subject matter. Some of our articles deal with serious mental or emotional

mix of serious and humorous articles.
