Sweet, Beautiful Woman . . .

Why do the fingers
Of the little once beautiful lady
(sitting sewing at an open window
this fine morning) fly instead of dancing?
Are they possibly afraid
That life is running away
From them (I wonder) or
Isn’t she aware that
Life (who never [...]

Check Out a New Fruit Today!

While blueberries were once considered to be the most potent super fruits, researchers have found that the Amazonian fruit açai (which looks very similar to a blueberry) has 700% more antioxidants that our berry blue friend. You can learn more about the superfood here.
Keep in mind that although many stores offer açai juice, the unsweetened [...]

Paying Attention to a Miracle

Every now and then, a miracle happens.
Yesterday was one such case.
It was about 10 o’clock at night, and I was finishing up a story I was writing for Her Active Life, when I decided to take a break and check out Bekah’s blog. This is what I read:
“I sat in a fixed corner, across the [...]

Ch-Ch-Changes ….

As I promised earlier today, here is an update about the many changes that you will begin to see on Eat, Pray, Run over the next few days.

“Oh, it’s so ugly! I look like Rudolph with this shiner.”
I feel oh, so sorry for myself.
But situations like this are ones where I soon enough find myself feeling quite stupid for being [...]

Yes, Ladies and Gents, the Sun Might Kill You

With spring and summer just around the corner, it is safe to assume that sooner than later many of us will be breaking out the bikinis and oils in an effort to start building a tan.
But before I continue, please note that this author is not a part of that “us” group — I am [...]

How Yoga May Help Me Pull the Knife Out of My Head

Sorry I am so late to post today. I had a horrible migraine this morning, and really could not bring myself to stare at the glow of my computer screen until now.
I seem to more often than not get a strange reaction from people when I talk about the debilitating affects of a [...]

Bald or Not, Just Act on It Anyway!

I am not sure how many of you saw Good Morning America this morning. But if you did not get a chance to tune in, — I didn’t because I do not have cable! — you need to visit their Web site so you may witness a truly beautiful act of courage.
For those of you [...]
