I find it interesting and ironic that we become more "aware" of breast cancer and then run out and buy bags and bags of Halloween candy. I was in Target the other day and I swear that end of the store was sagging under the weight! Unbelievable!! According to a site compiling data...

Why you need to breathe - more It has been said that "breath is life", but what does that mean? Is it merely an affirmation of the blatantly obvious or is there a deeper meaning to those three simple words?

Bullheadedness. Bullheadedness is the leading cause of mad cow disease! Oh..... My sweetheart said that to me the other day when we were engaged in a discussion of "the best way to do something". I don't remember what something we were discussing and it's not important. We choose to find humor in our differences rather than conflict and it keeps life interesting and fun. As I thought about and laughed...

Who isn't "short on time" this time of year? Often when time is limited the first thing to drop off the list is exercise and other wellness activities. In fact, "I just don't have time" continues to be the #1 reason year round for not exercising daily, not eating nutritious food or not intentionally relaxing. Prioritizing anything ahead of wellness activities in your daily schedule is a classic example...
