URSULA PARI -
On embracing work, motherhood and life’s
surprises
Years ago, if you’d told Ursula Pari about
the job she has today, she’d have insisted that you
must be thinking of someone else.
As the 5 and 10 p.m. TV news anchor for KSAT, Pari is familiar
to San Antonio viewers. Delivering the day’s top news
stories, she’s articulate and confident, yet friendly
and accessible. She’s impeccably suited, her brunette
hair styled to perfection with a complexion that stays flawless,
even under...

Issues: ANOTHER LOOK AT THE LAWS
OF
ATTRACTION: A
few caveats to consider
Sweeping the nation, it seems, with a generous push from
Oprah is the concept of the Law of Attraction. Oprah has
promoted the concepts addressed in The Secret on her television
program and on her XM Radio Soul Series.

Dollars & Sense: BETTER
THAN PENNY-WISE -
10 ways not to get nickeled and
dimed PART I
Everyone has at least one New Year’s resolution every
year — year after year — that has to do with
weight and exercise and another that has to do with money.

more” don’t usually translate to any real action

Biz Coach:TAKING
CARE OF “MOI” —
Time for yourself
is important, too
The start of a new year represents
a new beginning, so what better time to assess how nice
you are (or aren’t) being to a very special person — you?
If you’re like most people, you spend most of your
