Gay Men 40 Percent Less Likely to Get Job Interviews
In this fragile economy job candidates need every advantage to help them land one of the few positions out there. Job-seekers are experimenting with different techniques, like less-traditional Elle Woods-type resume formats to cold calling to stand out and attract the attention of close-fisted employers. Still, even among the most highly qualified, some candidates end up at the bottom of the list for reasons none other than their sexuality.
Yes, we have come a long way, but we are not there yet.

Lies We’re Told about Sex – Sex Lies We’re Told to Believe
The messages we receive about sex from our parents, the media, and our educational, social, and religious institutions tend to be contradictory, and often downright false.

5 (+2) Keys to Preparing for Fall and Winter Blues | Mindfulness and Psychotherapy
With the crazy weather that we have been having here in Portland – one week hot, the next week cold – I’m noticing that it’s getting darker each night as I leave my office. Where did those evenings go when it was still light out at 9pm? While I am looking forward to to the cozy feeling of Fall I also know that the winter blues will soon be upon us. So, now is the time to start preparing for the long gray days of winter.
Here are some suggestions:
1) Mindfulness training
2) Exercise
3) Light therapy
4) Gratitude list
5) Connect with friends and family
6) Travel – As a friend told me when I moved to Portland, “you’ve got to get out of here at least two times during the winter, even if its just to the other side of Mt. Hood”! The sun is out there, you just have to make some effort to find it.
7) Books and Coffee – two things that make Portland great and will help get you through the long winter months.
