Remember ‘snow days’ from school? Wasn’t that just the BEST feeling in the world – when you really didn’t want to go to school, and it got canceled just in time?? Maybe there was even a test scheduled for that day – even better!
What about other times when you’ve been spared some sort of undesirable fate?
Porn is happening. Porn is everywhere. Porn can be light and for fun, or porn can be a multi billion dollar profit for some and detrimentally expensive for others. So, I'd like to start off this by saying that pornography in and of itself is not a ‘bad’ thing. We have preconceived notions about porn being something bad. Men feel guilty about it. Women feel threatened by it. And it exists for a reason right? It wouldn't be such a gi-normous industry if people didn't love it.
You can’t make conscious choices if you don’t have the facts. That goes for men and women. And, yes, talk about safe sex can put a damper on a romantic moment but so can chemo, radiation or surgery.
Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways to eat a little healthier, without even noticing that I’m doing it.
Now, I should probably confess that I genuinely ENJOY eating healthy. I am one of those people who actually gets excited when I see things like brown rice, tempeh, and kale on the menu. With that said, I do not eat every single meal in a vegan, macrobiotic restaurant (though I would sorta, kinda love that).
Have you ever had a friend who told you she was starting a new diet or exercise regimen – but at the end of 8 weeks, she looked exactly the same as when she started? No thinner, no healthier, no more radiant or energetic? And when you asked her how it was going she just kind of……changed the subject?
Why do you get this sinking sensation when you look over at your husband one morning and your heart fails to flutter? What if you're not in love with him anymore?
A woman calls her friend, panicked. "I don't think I'm in love with my husband anymore!" "What happened, " her friend asks.
Many of us say that we want love
We spend tons of energy
Sometimes even money
On trying to find it
But then I wonder
Are we really open to receiving it
Once it shows up on our doorstep
Or do we actually shut the door
On the very thing we want most
The often-used phrase “He lights up when she comes into the room,” is an accurate statement. Love at first sight would more appropriately be labeled “limbic resonance at first contact with the ocular portals.” But the poets, I am certain, would object. What we do know is that when people are attracted to each other there are mutual neural patterns activated in the limbic system — literally, our brains light up. Something happens in the limbic system that lets us know we are in the presence of a potential love.
Wedding planning is hard enough without parents and inlaws sharing their opinions. When do you hold your ground and when do you give in? While there is no cut and dry easy answer, here are a few ways to consider any dilemma you may be in!
Use the “Ask Ten Strangers on the Street” Technique
When a man asks the question, “Is this all there is?”, somewhere between 35 and 55, they often go into what is referred to as Midlife Crisis. It is a serious time in their lives because it is the peak time (other than during the teen years) when they are most likely to commit suicide, to ruin their marriage, their family, their finances, abuse drugs or alcohol, etc. So it is not to be taken lightly.
