You know voxappeal I know exactly what you are saying and I agree.. I seem to get frustrated though that fir some young woman this is there only option for success and prosperity in life (for so they think). And yes, this is far better than exploitation and human trafficking which happens all too often even in Vancouver... I just wish that young women found find a healthy self esteem before exploring sex for payment then perhaps it becomes more of a choice than a need that effects their self respect.. maybe its just me and the work I do which leads me to be "saddened" it by all! empowering for some... detrimental to other... thanks... i love hearing what others think!

“When did boardroom sugar daddy’s become such a popular internet niche that a special section needs to be made just for it? ”
About as soon as the Internet was invented..?

“And since when did so many young women decide that this was the way to pay the bills?”
About 100m years ago?

I was intrigued by the title of your blog and did not know what to expect (besides maybe a ranting mother going on about a problem with diapers or nappies as they are called in Australia). I really like that you are a 'bobber' and that this sense of optimism clearly shows throughout your post. I believe that things happen for a reason and that we follow a pattern throughout our lives that will fit in with the moods and traits that make us a unique entity. Anyway, it is good to read inspiring posts and I will happily visit your blog again. Cheers, Federico from Core TV 1 - Melbourne Hey Loretta,

]]> Comment on Finding Passion and Purpose: The Eight Elements of Success by susan http://lorettacella.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/finding-passion-and-purpose-the-eight-elements-of-success/#comment-6 susan Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:49:17 +0000 http://lorettacella.wordpress.com/?p=8#comment-6 Loretta, I really like this post and hope MANY young women read it. One of the things I finally figured out in my forties that I wish I knew earlier is to focus on what makes one feel good, not on what we believe, intellectually, that we SHOULD do. I base 90% of my decisions now on what feels good/right to me, both in business and in life. And I am infinitely more fulfilled. I also produce an audio podcast for the amazing Mark Michael Lewis called Money, Mission and Meaning: Passion at Work, Purpose at Play which your readers might enjoy. http://personallifemedia.com/podcasts/221-money-mission-and-meaning With Love, Susan Bratton CEO Personal Life Media Loretta,
