Once again, she gave a man her whole heart. And the pain of his departure was no less than in times past. The only difference this time was she made a choice. She didn’t FALL in love, she deliberately and openly chose to love him with all the love God had given her. Without attachment to the outcome and without illusions of what she may gain in return, she loved him. So her pain, she

The latest in skincare - professional acne treatments at home

2011-12-10T20:10:00.000-08:00

Advances in skincare are making it easier to have flawless skin even if you weren't born with it! I came across this product line that offers acne treatment, anti-aging benefits and hair removal using convenient, at home spa like treatment appliances. Using acne light therapy on a daily basis both reduces the number of acne lesions and significantly improves skin condition. I have used skincare

Some real dedication for It's Always Sunny

2011-10-26T21:19:00.000-07:00

Guest post written by Mel Higgins I've been a real loyal fan of the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia since the second season when I randomly caught an episode. I fell in love with it instantly and made sure to watch all of the previous episodes so I could catch up and get all the background on the gang and Frank. Well I've met other fans that are just as dedicated as I am. But I

Update - Healthy Lifestyle and Parasite Cleansing

2011-10-05T13:33:00.000-07:00

It has been just over one year since I started my journey to better health. It helps that I have a great job at Super Supplements and get paid to learn about health and wellness - and what my body needs. While it's not been easy to be totally consistent with all the goals I have made for myself, I can say that I feel better than I ever have. That said, I'm still working on achieving optimal

Natural Skin Care - Coconut Oil

2011-06-02T23:44:00.000-07:00

A simple way to enhance ones health when environmental toxins are everywhere and unavoidable is to choose skin and hair care products that are free of chemical additives and preservatives. Coconut oil is a wonderful option that is

Pseudo depression, Clarity and Inspiration

2011-06-01T22:44:00.000-07:00

Failing to plan is planning to fail. That's the saying. Right? I spent the last 12 months learning how to plan an internet marketing campaign. It was a rigorous masters degree program taught by some of the industry's finest. And it was not cheap. And now several weeks past graduation I find myself in a state of partial depression, lacking direction and feeling passionless. Our emotions are

Update: Healthy Lifestyle

2011-05-08T17:50:00.000-07:00

Wow! It's hard to believe it has been six months since I started this journey towards a healthier lifestyle. I guess I must be doing some things right because I really feel good! There have been some ups and downs - I'm not going to say it has been easy to stay focused and on track. But overall, looking back and reading over my posts, I am much improved! I had 9 points in my previous post that

I don't know 'bout you, but I'm shopping at Zappos

2010-12-01T23:16:00.000-08:00

Image via CrunchBaseI read an article a few years ago in Inc. Magazine about the founder of Zappos, Tony Hsieh and his company. I am such a fan of people who create their lives - including their work - on their own terms and by their own set of standards and then make it really, really big. As an internet entrepreuner I want to learn from companies like Zappos. They started off selling shoes

New lifestyle eating plan week 1 - cutting sugar from my diet

2010-11-26T21:36:00.000-08:00

So I made some changes in my diet....um I mean lifestyle over the past couple of weeks. I guess it's working as I am down 2 lbs. I'm not ashamed to say that at nearly 6' tall I was at 224 when I started (gotta find a tape measure to get all my starting stats done) and now the scale is holding at 222. Major food cravings hit me last week that were due in part to HORMONES (uuuggh) but I'm

Don't call it a DIET. It's a Lifestyle

2010-11-15T18:12:00.000-08:00

This has been a looooong time coming. I have known for several years that I really need to take control of my health and wellness. I have put many other things ahead of taking care of my physical body. Mainly working and being busy. I have been working at Super Supplements for about two months now, mainly because I really like knowing about natural ways to be healthy and helping others in

Gluten Free Review - Bagels & Chocolate Muffins

2010-09-14T20:23:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia Winco is now carrying a line of gluten free products...YAY! So I picked up the gluten free bagels from Udi's. Looks like a bagel! Toasts like a bagel! It didn't quite TASTE like a bagel. But it did taste good! Overall I gave it a thumbs up! At a buck a piece - I won't buy them too often but if I gotta have round bread these are my pick! My New FAVORITE

Nursing Scrubs - the key to a great attitude?

2010-08-31T14:30:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia My friend and neighbor is always coming over to share the events of her day. She is a CNA - a nurses assistant - at our local hospital. She was sharing a particularly funny experience she had with a patient today. I can always see her in her colorful scrubs - helping elderly patients. She has such devotion and dedication to her job. I just don't know how she does it! I

My perfect world car - the Lexus GS Hybrid

2010-08-15T21:02:00.000-07:00

In a perfect world, I would be shopping for a Lexus Hybrid. So, imagining my world perfect, I went to Lexus.com to research these vehicles. Lexus now has 4 hybrid vehicles available in their lineup. As far as usability of the site, simply hovering over the tab displayed the information about each vehicle class. Very user friendly. The basic specs, price, engine, speed & drive were readily

iPhone photos at dusk

2010-08-15T14:11:00.000-07:00

I used to wish I had my camera with me all the time back in the day. I was really into photography. I think I'll pick the hobby up again. I have an iPhone 3gs and decided to take some pictures at the park while David was at basketball practice. I'm sort of impressed at the image quality! Let me know what you think. These photos were taken at dusk only using natural light.

Gluten Free Review - Burger Rolls

2010-07-15T16:10:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I almost gave these rolls the thumbs down. Double thumbs down. I tried them a few times hoping they would get better and offer me a convenient (Albertsons is across the street) alternative to sandwich bread for a burger. I tried with a juicy homeburger and was so dissatisfied! The bun fell apart while I was eating. It was dry and crumbly. I was sad. I don't know why but for the next

Gluten Free Review - Italian Food

2010-07-02T20:11:00.000-07:00

Well I don't know if the GF foods are getting better or I'm accustomed to the slightly less than great taste of many GF foods so when a better one comes around it seems really good. Anyway, I have really missed being able to eat Italian style foods over the last several years and recently tried a couple new GF dishes that I really did enjoy. The first is Gluten Free Rice Lasagna. It has been

Am I a Mac or a PC

2010-06-24T11:14:00.000-07:00

I have always used a PC but lately I've been using my Macbook Pro..I got one with my tuition to Full Sail University, so no I didn't have $2500 to drop on it. At first it was super cool - the heavy metal and neat little quirks. Like the power cord is magnetic so it "snap" goes in to the side of the Mac. It took a little adjusting to the slight differences in the operating system and software

Delicious Gluten Free Baking!

2010-06-23T19:34:00.000-07:00

Check out this amazing website, called Baby Cakes NYC Just one look at the baked goods on the home page will have your mouth watering! It did mine! They deliver products most everywhere and have a cook book you can get on Amazon.com. Check

Feeling Good - Gluten Free Cooking

2010-06-21T18:52:00.000-07:00

One of the challenges I had becoming gluten free was learning how to make food that tasted good. With a young son to think about, and few options in the beginning for GF items that closely resembled their wheat based counterparts, I had to get help. I came across a cookbook by a restaurant chef and thought this must be good if people pay to eat her cooking! Here is a link to the cookbook.

David rides with the Goldwings

2009-05-24T17:59:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, we got to experience a great time with a great group of wonderful people. David and I went out on a bike ride with the Goldwing club. The bikes were big and beautiful - a toy I now think someday I may have - and we took a 90 mile tour around the Tri-cities. The riders, including Bob, Dawna and Don, were really friendly and we felt right at home with them. Later in the evening we went

Mustard Seed Faith

2009-03-18T22:06:00.000-07:00

Matthew 17:18-2019Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" 20He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."I always wondered what this portion of scripture really

The Red Pump Project - Women and AIDS

Karyn of the Red Pump Project says:Today is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and there's a whole lot of talking and educating happening all over the country in honor. Luvvie and I each have our own reasons for fighting AIDS, but most importantly, we simply agree that something has to be done. I mean, if we could just encourage women to talk about it and educate themselves and

A body of evidence

2009-03-08T12:40:00.000-07:00

For the last several years I have had chronic muscle pain in my back, neck & shoulders. In October, I was at a women's expo and went to the booth of a chiropractor that had a computerized diagnostic machine. It indicated a total imbalance in the nerves and muscles in my back. Ok, tell me something I don't already know, right. A client of mine came in a few months later and in conversation

nothing bad happens...

2009-02-24T20:53:00.000-08:00

I'm understanding this and believing it to be true. yeah...stuff may SEEM bad, but good & bad are mental constructs. Choices we make within (even when we feel like we're not choosing.) I heard in in a cd workshop by Joe Vitale. We can shift our perception of "bad" as easily as we can say "i'm OK"!

Day 5 on Advocare

2009-02-23T06:07:00.000-08:00

It's 6 am and we're up! David & I both woke up and felt like getting up early in spite of both of us fighting sinus infections. We have been taking Advocare now for 5 days. I can only attribute our increasing vitality to this as no other changes in diet or activity have been made.After seeing David's pediatrician, we have narrowed his regimen by removing the Calcium Plus which I am now taking.
