For its December 5, 2011 issue, Time Magazine’s cover boasted the bold statement: “Why Anxiety is Good for You.” Of course, there was a small asterisk attached. It further explained “As long as you know how to use it.” Being a worrywart myself, I had to get my hands on this article. If you’re like [...]
I love to watch the TLC show What Not to Wear. If you’ve never seen it, friends and family nominate someone to go to New York for a week and get a complete makeover- clothes (a $5,000 Visa gift card included!), hair, and makeup. On the face of it, the premise is just to make [...]
The dictionary defines the verb complain as expressing feelings of pain, dissatisfaction, or resentment. As humans we find ourselves complaining about any number of things: our friends, our spouses, our kids, our siblings, our parents, our co-workers, ourselves. We can’t change other people, although we’d like to think so and would definitely like to try. [...]
It’s 6AM and you have stopped snoozing your alarm. Waking from your deep sleep, you have but one thing on your mind: coffee. And lots of it. Just the mere thought of holding the warm cup in your hands is enough to propel you to the shower to start your day. Oliver Wendell Holmes once [...]
Pen. Paper. Books. Newspapers. Magazines. They all sound like things of the past with our culture today. Computers. Email. Kindles. E-zines. Television. That sounds better, right?

Meditation. The word conjures up images of a yogi on a mountaintop, his legs crossed and his eyes closed, serenely letting the world go by without him. However, meditation is a practice frequently mentioned in the Bible as a way to draw closer to God. In Joshua 1:8, God commands, “Do not let this Book [...]
It’s that time of year again. The weather has turned a tad chilly, the leaves are turning a beautiful color, and all you ladies are busting out your scarves and boots. You know who you are. While we don’t exactly get to relish weather extremes here in California, we all still do our best to [...]
When I’m in a boat, the last thing I usually think of is getting out. I like the safe, dry, and hopefully warm confines of my sturdy, water-bearing ship. If I can survive the possible sea-sickness that usually awaits me, I consider my boat outing a success. It’s nice to view the vast ocean from [...]
When I think of balance, my first thought is always an image of a seesaw. In particular, I think of the ones on America’s Funniest Home Video’s where one person always gets off when their unsuspecting victim is perched at the top. The result is always laughter on my part, as I watch the poor [...]
