Wintertime Workout

Being from the great State of Ohio, it is time to start to bundle up and get ready for the freezing winter months. During these cold months, many people decide to spend most of their time inside and do not get outside enough to maintain their workouts.

I am fortunate to have a workout room that offers free weights, a weight machine plus I also have a treadmill. So since the dreadful time of the year is approaching fast, I wanted to share some information on how to keep physically fit even inside the home.

How do you deal with the first few years of parenting?

3
vote
     
     

The first few years of becoming a parent can be the best years, but it can also be the most trying. This is the point where the strength of the relationship between the married couple will be tested. Becoming a parent is not easy, especially if a couple did not prepare for it. Others carefully plan for it and have little difficulty with starting a family. The first three years will be the most demanding of all the stages in many ways; however, some parents will always remember those years as the best years.

Homeless women- and the children with them

3
vote
     
     

Homelessness isn't easy to think about. Many homeless are considered lazy, unmotivated people who just don't try hard enough.

What is more accurate is that many homeless people are untreated mentally ill persons who are often discharged from treatment facilities before they are ready or capable to care for themselves. Others are addicts, jobless or victims of domestic violence.

A growing population amount the homeless are homeless women. There is something especially disconcerting about homeless women because so many nowadays have their children with them.

Investing for the Times of Your Life
Time and Risk Tolerance
After 20 years in the financial services industry, I am so proud of the progress we women have made in gaining control over our financial destiny. During these tumultuous times, stressing over money and deciding what to do with savings is enough to make anyone cave in to stress. It's precisely at times like this that I always remind myself and my clients to go back to basics. Here are some tips I hope will help you all.

The High Price of Beauty

I'm not the kind of animal rights activist who will throw something horrible on a fur coat (although I might throw a look) or leather jacket. People wear animal products all the time, although I do have a distinct dislike for fur because the animals are not used for food - they are simply bred for something unnecessary to wear - all in the name of couture, and their deaths are quite brutal.

Cancer and Sexuality

Wanted to share with you some great information from the
Women's Sexual Health Journal on Cancer and Sexuality.

Because sexuality issues and cancer are rarely discussed and because October is breast cancer month, The Women's Sexual Health Foundation felt this was the perfect opportunity to share this issue with non-members to help readers understand that cancer can impact sexuality and intimacy and that there are solutions.

Two short weeks from the day the doctor suggested surgery, to the surgery was the longest time of my life….On Wed. Sept. 24 I called Empower, and that call saved my life…My mind went out of control, why because May 9, 2005 I was stage 4 and had mastectomy – which was very life changing.

What is psychoanlytical therapy and what does it mean to you?

6
vote
     
     

Psychoanalytical therapy is meant to go deep into the patient’s subconscious to find what is at the root of his or her conflicts and motivations that have an affect on the emotions, attitude and his or her behavior. Usually, this is done through analyzing the dreams the patient has had, or by using the technique of free association where the patient is supposed to say the first thing that comes to mind in response to a picture, or word.
