Losing weight can be a challenge in a society determined to up-size. Eat More! That seems to be the motto for everything and everyone in the United States. The buffets encourage you to eat more – they are, after all, all you can eat and you must get your money’s worth. The restaurants serve portions…
Dare to be peculiar because you aren’t made to be like anyone else so you might as well embrace it. “You’re not normal.” The anesthetist had known me all of twenty minutes and this is what she had to say. When my regular doctor joined the party, I told him about her comments. He GRINNED….
Being a good wife is not as difficult as it may seem. You can be the super-mom, loving wife, and all-around perfect woman with just a few key ideas in your arsenal. It’s that simple. Sure, you have to live with a husband, put up with the kids, and find a way to juggle sensuality…

Thank you for “Clean Sweep”, the TLC program about clearing out the clutter in your home. You see, I was a packrat. No, not just a packrat, but I was the queen. I had descended from a long line of packrats and then married into a family of them for good measure. When my husband…
The more you practice keeping the Faith, the more you’ll be prepared to stand firm in that Faith no matter what the circumstances. When the storms come – and the storms do show up – then you will be able to bend but not break. The Truth gives you the focused flexibility to stand. Scripture…

Just keep in mind that you are not going to get something for nothing, and NEVER give out your bank account info to someone who is offering you a “job.” If you are wise and cautious,…
