Dear New Shrink, I am a young working professional in my early 30s. Throughout my career I have seen several people around me advance their careers quite quickly while I have been passed up for promotional opportunities.
SM PIER — A Los Angeles Police officer will ride the iconic Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier for 25 hours straight later this month in an attempt to break the Guinness World Records title.
CITYWIDE — Revolution came to Santa Monica, but it wasn’t televised. Representatives and acolytes of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution” gathered in Santa Monica Saturday for Oliver’s first Food Revolution Day, 24 hours dedicated to breaking people out of bad eating habits and putting th
CIVIC CENTER — The mother duck rose to her feet and ruffled her feathers, prompting shaky imitation from her ducklings. With that, the family of 10 marched across the third floor patio at the RAND Corp.
L.A.’s appetite for Mexican fare is as old as the city itself. From the hole in the wall taquería to the corner taco truck, it’s pretty easy to score some good Mexican grub.
Dear Life Matters, I am furious with my husband because he did not give me anything for Mother’s Day! Not even flowers. The kids gave me things that they had made me in school and we all went to breakfast that he paid for, but I have a 6-month-old little boy.

In my view, it’s cause for rejoicing when a play is beautifully written and is performed by actors who are at least as brilliant as the writing. Mostly because it doesn’t happen all that often.
MAIN STREET — A healthy vending machine, can it be true? Naysayers and skeptics be warned, the answer might surprise you. Though it might sound like more of an oxymoron than a legitimate idea, healthy vending machines have, in fact, become a reality thanks to Santa Monica-based h.
I’ve been a bit under the weather this week. Being bedridden gave me the excuse to dig into my overstocked bookshelves. Plowing through three books in three days, I want to commend the one that stopped me in my tracks, “A Million Nightingales,” by author Susan Straight, a Riverside, Calif.
I can’t rave enough to adequately convey my excitement and admiration for the new adaptation of “Cyrano de Bergerac” that opened recently at the Fountain Theatre.
Dear Life Matters, I recently relocated to Los Angeles from the Mid-west as a result of my company’s West Coast expansion efforts. As I adjust to a new city, opportunities, and professionals, I would like advice about making the most out of what Los Angeles has to offer.
