About Me View My Posts
Disagreeing, arguing, even fighting with your partner, is a part of life. Not an enjoyable part, but a part nonetheless. We all handle conflict resolution differently and most of how we act during disagreements is determined by our personalities and what was modeled to us throughout life.

Hope is also different than faith.Hope happens when we have an expectation we can control our future.... 2/5/2020 8:00:00 AM

Fiber: The Conductor of the Digestive Tract
by Megan Johnson McCullough
About Me View My Posts
Dietary fiber is a very important component of nutrition.

The body doesn’t break it down once eaten, rather it passes through our digestive system. It is most commonly found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Generally, processed foods contain... 2/4/2020 8:00:00 AM
