Healing Out Loud
My scars are my beauty marks. My hate is what deserves the most care and love. Attention to your wounds seals your leaks. Sealing these leaks empowers your drive toward your supreme fate. Our fate lays in every individual. We are united. Its time we acknowledge our influence and power. Stop pretending to be weak and useless. You have a purpose Here and How – be the Hero of your dreams, challenge Death as you embrace your eternal Being.

Good dieters will often work on trying to fit in an extra round of weight training at the gym, or look up how to make healthy food substitutions. These tactics can and do work when it comes to helping people shed the pounds.

Being an Empath
My entire life, I felt energies. I was unsure what was going on. I could often walk into a room and immediately pick up who was happy, who was sad, and where any tension was.

Walking the PMDD Labyrinth
I recently came across a question on a PMDD forum that asked something like, "I just discovered I have PMDD. Please tell me there is something I can do to carry on with my life and responsibilities. And don't tell me to diet and exercise!"

How To Manage Fear When You're Fearing The Worst
Fear is one of the most powerful human emotions we can endure. It's consuming nature can overwhelm our thoughts, dominate our emotions and negatively influence our behavior. It is a mysteriously dark force that can quietly creep into your life and take hostage everything that you hold dear.

A Dunning-Kruger World
As a person who has lived with ADHD my entire life, I can completely understand how people who have a know-it-all attitude and who aren't afraid to voice their irrelevant opinions can be frustrating and also damaging to one's well being. These opinions of others, whether they be right or wrong, can have an impact on the listener.

The Greatest Privilege
We live in a universe where our greatest privilege is life itself, death the inescapable reality governed by space and time. But humans are a death-denying species, constantly forgetting the renewal that death offers the universe, the beginning of a new chapter from the end of the old.

S.T.A.R.T
Pat Benatar would have us believe ‘Love is a Battlefield’. Though that may be true, I believe the greatest battle each of us faces every day is in our mind.

Expectations
Expectations... We all have them. They're those ideas that float around our mind before being sewn into the soil of our conscious selves. They grow as weeds from this mental earth, strangling our garden of values and beliefs. Even worse, like weeds, they spread rapidly until our emotions and identities have been altered to suit their needs. Expectations... We all have them, but what can we do about it?

Picture Perfect Home Pedicures
The seasons can be cruel to your feet. In winter, they're trussed up in boots and thick socks, never seeing the light of day. Then by the time winter’s over, the idea of swapping those boots for a pair of sexy new peep-toes for summer can give you a case of cold feet.

Resistance bands are made of strong, thin rubber with handles at the end or just look like a giant elastic band. They can create a greater challenge practically everywhere as they’re extremely portable. They’re inexpensive and there’s a wide variety of full-body workouts you can access.

Why Your Skin Doesn't Need to Degenerate with Age
Our skin is the largest organ and renews itself every 28 days while shedding 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells every minute. The health of our skin goes far beyond what we put on it but what state our gut environment is; our skin is essentially a window into our internal self! Common skin problems arise from hormones (it’s not your imagination, ladies!), nutritional imbalances, and immune system distress.
