New Year, Same Me
With the first month of the New Year almost fulfilled, there are changes all around us; like the suddenly over crowded gym that used to be your solace, or the painfully short contact and social media list that underwent a few adjustments, its all in the spirit of a "fresh start." Yet, why do we feel the need to wait until the start of a new calendar year for a clean slate? These tips will encourage you to put yourself first at times we forget to the most.

Life As I Know It
Life As I Know It. Please don’t tell me I need to keep a positive attitude. I deal with my RA every day, and so I know just how emotionally and physically dangerous giving in to depression can be. Despair is awful and I wish (more than you know) that I could simply “snap out” of it when that feeling takes hold. I know you mean well when you to tell me not to let it get me down, but telling someone with a chronic disease that they “need to keep a positive attitude” is condescending – it makes me feel as if you’re diminishing what I’m going through. Your well-intentioned pep talk doesn’t help me rise above it at all, it leaves me feeling as if I’ve somehow failed.

Ever Wondered How to Love Yourself?
Love and relationships, self and others. For so long I have always wondered, "what's the point?" For as far back as I can remember, I always felt unworthy of someone's love. From being a child and being bounced around from family member to family member, to being on the streets alone, and frightened because I didn't know how I was going to get my next meal. Nobody around to help, nobody around to talk to, but myself... nobody cared, or so that's how I thought. My father wasn't really there through my childhood, and my mother did the best she could, but that eventually ran out as well.

Meditation, yoga, color energy, and crystal energy are traditional techniques used to maintain physical and emotional health by keeping your energy fluid.

Night Away
In the 2002 movie The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood Ashley Judd’s character flees home, family, and perhaps sanity as she escapes to a seaside hotel. Awaking a day or so later, she learns from the hotel operator how much time has passed. In that moment, the power of revitalization has taken over. The viewer can almost see the sweet relief in her shoulders, even as she frantically calls her children. Yet, the power and pressure of the young—and even more mature—mother is not the only narrative here. Women, across the board, are all in need of that frantic night away. The solitary night, in a bed you didn’t have to make, sheets you didn’t have to wash, a shower that you don’t have to scrub . . . the power and the moment are here.

Happiness is a Choice
There is an aspect of life whereby all creatures unite. It is often said to be the key to success in every way and without it we feel like something is missing. It is something we all strive for and want even though we sacrifice it way too often, and way too easily. It is absolutely free of charge and actually, it is our birthright.

Culture in 70% of the World Involves Being In or Under the Water
Call it Snorkeling or Freediving, it is a sport most families could enjoy together. While it will be more fun, more rapidly, if you begin with an instructor for at least one pool session for basic skills, snorkeling is close to intuitive for many people, meaning this is an adventure you can enjoy almost immediately.
