“Making Marriage a Success” by Jaleh Donaldson


Relationship Expert, Catherine DeMonte, LMFT, quoted in the book, says that when we marry we do not enter empty handed. It’s common to hear 1/2 a couple say to the other, “I didn’t MEAN it like that!” Because how it’s said & how it lands can be two different things, forgetting we see & hear things through our own lens. When triggered by your partner try not to look at them & assign blame for how you feel but to look inside & see why you are triggered. For more info, call Catherine at 818 880-6559/310 295-2130. The book is available online at http://www.amazon.com/MAKING-MARRIAGE-SUCCESS.

Accounting Firm Lead


Recommended by info@sjeurocloset.com


“We used Rose Snyder & Jacobs to complete our personal tax returns and an audit review for our company. They are literally a one-stop solution for all our tax and bookkeeping needs. The staffs are terrific & quick and very affordable. Jake was so great at going through the whole process for this and last year’s tax returns, calmly helping us with some insanely complex issues we had as well. We have not met anyone that meets up to Jake’s level of professionalism and integrity.
