"I'm Sorry:" Expressing Regret the Right Way
by Nancy Pina
About Me View My Posts
When conflict arises, are you the person who's quick to apologize, wanting to sweep everything under the rug so the tension goes away? Or are you the one who tends to hold that hurt for a while, allowing the offensive words to gain a life of their own? Most of us identify with one approach or the other when arguments happen in love. The problem is neither response leads to a true reconciliation that... 9/24/2018 7:00:00 AM

But what does it mean for us if bees literally become extinct? We often take for granted how dependent we are on bees for pollinating the foods we eat, but the repercussions of their decline could hit hard, both economically and... 9/15/2018 7:00:00 AM

There she was; the lady who always looked at me with disdain. “What have I ever done to her?” I wondered. “Why does she disapprovingly look at me when I’ve never really had a conversation with her?” I was baffled by the sour look she gave me every time I saw her. I racked my brain trying to figure it out. The weird thing was that her friend liked me; we laughed and talked like we had known each other... 9/13/2018 7:00:00 AM

by Megan Johnson McCullough
About Me View My Posts
It’s a choicePhysical activity is a behavior, meaning it is a choice to participate or not. For some, exercise has been a lifelong component of their daily routine. For others, the concept of physical exertion is not appealing. The exercise roller coaster that aims for consistency, can plummet from time to time even for the most avid gym-goer. One day “off” leads to another, time passes, body shape... 9/12/2018 7:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
How many times have you tried to lose weight and "failed?" Often we set unrealistic goals around how much and how long we will work out for. I have heard friends and family say they are going to the gym every day this week to work out. When life got in the way and they didn't make it one day, they basically gave up. "I don't have time was often their reason."My philosophy is that being active daily... 9/3/2018 7:00:00 AM

About 5.7 million Americans currently suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia. Up until recently, doctors had no way of detecting the disease until symptoms had already presented and the disease was well underway.

The amazing thing is that... 8/31/2018 7:00:00 AM
