Top 5 Exercises You Can Perform At Your Desk
For many of us, we work at least an 8-hour shift every day, and some even go beyond that just to make ends meet. As such, we are tied to our desks and are sitting most of the time while we focus on the task at hand. We know that after all the hard work is done, it all pays off once you see that you can provide for yourself and your loved ones.

Habit Forming - Writing
In an attempt to bring this article to the focus of its readers, who (I hope, are varied, far & wide), I love chocolate! Ok, so I hear you all asking the question - what!? - well you see, writing can very quickly become an enjoyable, engrossing, and much-liked habit. As with a large number of activities that you fill out your life with these days, writing is a very positive tool. It allows you to escape from the reality around you. Reducing stress & anxiety that habitually plagues you throughout your lifetime. I have spent much of my working life working 12-hour night & day shifts as a mental health nurse, which, as I imagine readers coming to this article can very easily relate with - particularly if they have been a nurse in the past or are involved in this field of work now. Everyone that I have known in the past, or still today, understands that there are copious emotions that you go through when you spend such long periods looking after others when they are unwell and vulnerable. You can easily become very susceptible to fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, sorrow, guilt, and complete and utter exhaustion; the list can go on and is certainly not exhaustive.

Bucket List
It was going to be another windy day Beatrice sighed as she closed the trunk of her car and turned towards the direction of the beach. After almost three years in the community treasure hunting club, it seemed that she was the only one left to uncover any sort of prize. With her new metal detector sitting patiently inside the large case, Beatrice hoped that today would be the day she discovered at least an old coin or an antique locket. Similar trinkets had been found recently by her good friends Evangeline and Iris. They were always finding new things along the shore but this was a new beach and to Beatrice, that meant new possibilities.

A Million and Seven Ways to Live
Twenty grand could change a life. At least depending on where I was for the moment and assuming I could keep the money over the time hops. But the sign had been here for a week. The games and challenges had changed with every jump, yet the poster stayed. Always said twenty grand.

From Trash To Treasure
The pounding at the door woke Bruce up. Pounding that was only slightly louder than the ringing in his ears. Apparently, he has overindulged, overslept, and is probably the housekeeper knocking. As he tried to clear his head, Bruce started to remember that he was staying at the Kahlo Hotel, has a new album due in three months, and needed to get to the studio in London.
