Saying No To Toxic Relationships
|
After the long cold days of winter, spring sings her chipper song. As I write this, I have brightly coloured tulips to gaze at happily in my garden. Spring is a great time to start eating healthier, lighter food, wear bright colours, and get outdoors. It also happens to be a great time to fall in love. Perhaps scientists will one day reveal a specific chemical that flies around in the spring air that gets the pheromones going. Who knows? Maybe they already have?but before you take that exuberant leap into a special someone?s arms and fall head-over-heels, here are some suggestions to keep your head in the clouds, while your feet are firmly planted on the ground.

Guiding Teens On The Rocky Road To Womanhood
|
In this article, I?d like to discuss a topic very dear to my heart- guiding teen girls into womanhood. Why do I feel so passionate about this subject?

The holidays, while mostly enjoyable, can also bring about a real ?letdown? feeling when they?re over. We often feel blue, out-of-sorts, and lacking direction and focus. So what do we do to feel more ?together? and ?in control? after such a time? We make resolutions! You know the drill: I will lose 10 pounds in the next three months, I will be kinder to my partner, I?ll stick to a strict budget, etc.
