Have you had your ‘Apple A Day’? | June 6, 2011

The old adage is true you know, “An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away”. And no, we’re not going to talk about colon health. Disappointed? Don’t be, because we are going to address another regularly occurring and uncomfortable to discuss topic, the struggle for personal happiness.

Now you may have heard that money, fame, power and material possessions, can’t guarantee joy. But, like most of the rest of us, you probably thought that this statement was just another unrealistic platitude aimed at soothing your ruffled feathers when you failed to meet your monetary or romantic goals. But, I’m here to … Read More »

Dead Anyone? | April 15, 2011

Ever think about what happens when you die? This topic doesn’t usually come up in casual conversation except maybe when grandma sheds her mortal coil or when we get a scary diagnosis (go exercise, green leafy vegetables and Omega-3 fatty acids, go!). Or, when the world is at war, there has been an earthquake and a tsunami that have caused the death of thousands, not to mention a nuclear disaster that no one yet has a remedy for. In times like these even a good sense of humor isn’t enough to get us through. Yes-siree Bob, our current circumstances have … Read More »

Surviving Valentine’s Day After Your Sweetheart Has Passed Away | February 10, 2011

By Joni Aldrich 

For kids, Valentine’s Day is a time to exchange funny cards and eat boxes of chocolate. For adults, it’s often much more than just a time to send flowers and buy heart jewelry, chocolates, and cards—it’s a time to rededicate your love to one special person. But when you’re a widow or widower, or have lost your love due to any unfortunate life circumstance, Cupid’s arrow can pierce your heart in a very different way on February 14th. What was once a holiday of “warm fuzzies” can turn into a … Read More »

An Interview with Starless Sky Author Paige Agnew/Giveaway | February 1, 2011

While most other 15-year-old girls were at the mall trying to figure out how they could get the attention of their latest crush, Paige Agnew was fast at her desk writing her first fiction novel. You heard right, at fifteen, this Michigan-born writing enthusiast decided to not only pen her own novel, but have it published as well.

Published in January of 2010, Starless Sky touched on the tender subject of death and how a teen, named Kahlen, deals with pain and grief, but it also has blatant messages of hope and expectation as Kahlen begins her journey back towards understanding … Read More »

Five Things To Look For In Your Date’s Face! | January 21, 2011

By Jean Haner

Thirty years ago, I married into a Chinese family.  But it wasn’t until a few years after the wedding that I discovered how truly tolerant my mother-in-law really was – because I didn’t have “moneybags” in my face I wasn’t a lucky match for her son!

My mother-in-law introduced me to face reading, and at first, I thought it was a ridiculous superstition – and how abhorrent to judge someone based on their appearance! It wasn’t until I began to study with master teachers that I discovered the deeper principles of … Read More »

Six Things You MUST Do This Year | January 19, 2011

The beginning of a new year is a time that inevitably makes me reflect on the past year and think about new passions and ambitions for the New Year coming up. I thought I’d share with you some things that I feel we could all do for 2011 to enhance our own personal power and enhance the quality of our life.

1) Love: Why limit small, meaningful pleasures like smiling and greeting everyone happily to only once a year? I say, love often and love much this year. Greet strangers, show random acts of kindness, … Read More »

Diet, Exercise, and Love: Find What’s Right For You! | January 18, 2011

We strive so hard to do the right thing, get the right job, wear the right clothes, or meet the right person that it sometimes feels like we are living someone else’s life. We are in an era where if we choose one thing, we are afraid all other options might disappear. Get married, and you’ll never be intimate with anyone ever again. Have a baby, and lose out on your dreams. Take the corporate job with the big check, and lose a little bit of your soul. Get a killer body, but give up every single thing you love … Read More »

Love vs. Fear: Motivators for Change | October 13, 2010

By John Edward, Author of Infinite Quest: Develop Your Psychic Intuition to Take Charge of Your Life

During these turbulent times there appears to be a greater polarity than ever before between two major energetic forces. Although you might assume at first that I am talking about Good vs. Evil, but the two motivating forces that I believe drives us are much more complex: Fear and Love. In my new book, Infinite Quest, I discuss “The Fear Principle” and “The Love Principle” at length in the hope that I can assist those who want to grow spiritually how to change the … Read More »

5 Key Phrases to Keep Love Alive | October 12, 2010

By Laurie Puhn, J.D., Author of Fight Less, Love More: 5-Minute Conversations to Change Your Relationship without Blowing Up or Giving In

Today’s busy multi-tasking couples have little time to invest in their relationship. In my couples mediation practice it’s no surprise that many people reveal they have lost that loving feeling for their spouse. I tell my clients: it’s only natural for love to disintegrate over time, unless you work at keeping it alive. Sound hard? It’s not.

You can keep the connection strong with 5-minute conversations and simple comments that show you care. You don’t … Read More »

Today I Will Make A Difference | October 8, 2010

Today I will make a difference. I will begin by controlling my thoughts. A person is the product of his thoughts. I want to be happy and hopeful. Therefore, I will have thoughts that are happy and hopeful. I refuse to be victimized by my circumstances. I will not let petty inconveniences such as stoplights, long lines, and traffic jams be my masters. I will avoid negativism and gossip. Optimism will be my companion, and victory will be my hallmark. Today I will make a difference.

I will be grateful for the twenty-four … Read More »

How To Tell If He Is Over It | March 5, 2010

My friend and her boyfriend have been together for about four months, exclusive for two. This is the first trimester of new boy times and is usually the sweetest. Over lunch last week she confessed that things had become different. Her man who once seemed long-term worthy was now a bit of a downer. He was depressed, moody and slowly became absent.  About six weeks later they broke up. She was relieved to finally not have to deal with walking on eggshells anymore, and in all actuality wasn’t surprised. She read the warnings crystal clear, and ladies it is time to … Read More »

Intentionality and Food | February 10, 2010

By Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D., Author of The Whole-Food Guide to Strong Bones: A Holistic Approach

“Made with love” is an ingredient I have often seen on home-made packaged cookies and other home-made foods in health food stores. It always seems like a sweet and nice thing to say, but without real meaning, a friendly, new-agey kind of sentiment. Turns out it’s quite real, and measurable.

Let me set the context for this column for you. At this time, I am the president of a small non-profit organization called Friends of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (FIONS). The organization it sprang … Read More »

The Single Girl Freak-out | February 9, 2010

There comes a time once a year, that makes many cringe. Some will come down with pseudo serious nausea, irrational thinking, unintentional bon bon eating, and lest we forget the waterworks. This time of year can be detrimental to our psyche, and without proper care we could end up spending an entire 24 hours utterly miserable.

Ten points and one golden star to the lucky reader to guess what day I am referring to.

Raise your hand if Valentine’s Day is not your idea of a good time. I would like to say that for those readers who are in happy, loving … Read More »

Unlocking A Gift of Love | February 4, 2010

A while back, my daughter was six.  Then, she turned seven.   A while back, my daughter repeatedly asked me to replay her favorite episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants™.  Not much later, she asked to watch an HBO special called “Locks of Love: the Kindest Cut” over and over again.  The documentary chronicles an organization that collects hair donations to make wigs for children who have lost their hair. My daughter’s first viewing was followed by many, many questions.

“Where did their hair go?” she asked.

“The children are not well,” I replied.  “Sometimes sickness makes hair fall out.  Sometimes medicine makes hair fall … Read More »
