For the past couple of months, I've been in and out of the hospital due to a couple of surgeries that I had to have.  I am overweight and for the past year and a half, I've been pushing to eat right, exercise and keep a very positive attitude, even...

How precious is life?

When we look into the eyes of a newborn baby, caress their tiny little hands, kiss their soft smooth forehead and inhale their light baby scent, we think, how precious.

When we see two toddlers holding hands while walking together at the playground, we...

Life: Appreciate it as much as you can. Tomorrow is not promised. Love each other and please learn to forgive those who have wronged you. Honestly, it's not that important to hold on to hurts of the past. Not only will it not accomplish anything, but it's also not mentally...

The word of the week is Peace

A young lady in Iran (who people in Iran say her name is Neda) had her life taken suddenly by the Basij Militia because she wanted to stand up for her beliefs. Pictures throughout this past entire weekend show severe violence and corruption...

Could you maintain a daily routine without one or several of these items: a computer, a cell phone, a television, clothes dryer, hair dryer, or a car? What would it mean for you to not have these things? Would you suffer greatly or would this simply be an inconvenience to...

There is so much that I have been through in my years of living. I've laughed, I've cried, I've been hurt, I've been rewarded, I've succeeded, I've learned and I'm sure that I'm nowhere near done on this obstacle we call life. But, there are many times in my life...

I recently read a short comment posted on an entertainment website about one of the Jonas Brothers (a very popular "teen sensation" singing group) getting teased because he has a very beautiful girlfriend, but still a virgin. Are you kidding me?! What's really wrong with our society today? Why do...

Listening to President Obama speak at his Presidential Address was inspiring and motivating. His address confirms that change is here and as a country, we are moving forward.

Before coming President of the United States, Barack Obama faced many challenges while striving for office. From what we could see, without...

Ok, somebody help me understand. One of my girlfriends told me a while back that she has uterine fibroids that made her look like she's about three months pregnant. At 38-years-old, her gynecologist prescribed her birth control pills to help the symptoms that are occurring and possibly shrink the fibroids....

I have been going through it already this year. I started out saying that this was going to be the "Miracle Year". This was going to be the year where great things happen with many people. This was the year where I needed to put all obstacles behind me and...

Now that the New Year is here, it's time to make things happen. One of my dearest friends owns an event planning company on the east coast called, "Make It Happen." That's the motto that she strives by and that is the motto that she tries to instill in everyone...

Has this been a year or what? This year, we've encountered the good, the bad, the historic and the very special -- memories, that is. Our economy took a shocking plunge this past year, devastating weather left many homeless, scandals emerged within political borders and lives were lost.

This...

One Friday night, I was out with some of my girlfriends at a very nice restaurant. It was cocktail night for the girls. At the table were independent, career driven, single women in our 30's. We all have wonderful careers - attorney, doctor, motivational speaker, broadcast journalist, actress, web designer...

Whew, I am so glad to be human. I was listening to the news the other day about a herd of animals that trampled over one of its kind trying to get to some food. Even though the animal was lying there, dead, the others were determined to keep going...

I saw this interview on the Today Show a few days ago between Matt Lauer and Tyra Banks in regards to teenage girls and sex. The results from Tyra's survey were very disturbing. In the end, it was noted that most of the younger teenage girls are having unprotected sex....

My friend recently found out that her 39-yr-old friend from high school took the lives of his wife and 2 year old son prior to taking his own life. Why - you ask? Since the economic crisis began, this man was laid off of work and was not able to...

There's so much going on in this world right now. Illness, unnatural death, war, the economy. That's not even dealing with our personal lives. Work, school, family, sickness, kids, the stress levels are amazing, which can also affect our health. To the point where there are levels of diseases that...
