If you have never been to a holistic health practitioner, they believe in treating the whole person and not to focus on just the problem. It is about treating not only the body, but your mind and spirit. It is assumed that your environment will play a part in your overall well-being. Many of those…

If you are like me, I like to read at the beach or at the pool. I also like to read while I travel, whether it be train, plane or automobile. I wish I could read more, but because of schedules and kids, summer does afford me a little more time to catch up on…

It looks like Senator John Ensign (R-Nevada) will be resigning his Senate seat. The official letter he’ll be sending to Vice President Biden has already leaked.

All through my school years, a vein of fear bubbled just below the surface. A fear of being laughed at, a fear of failure. I wasn’t good at sports, didn’t fit in with the pep squad. I was smart enough, but even the nerds wouldn’t have me. As a result, I was painfully shy. I…

The movie “Casablanca” hails from the year 1942. I love movies, but shy away from really old ones. Perhaps my being born in 1982 and raised on a diet of puppet filled silliness that has given way to astounding CGI magic is to blame for my distaste for many early “classics.” Of course “The Wizard…
