Take a Bite Out of Stress …
Nancee Dickens
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012
It was a beautiful midsummer's night on the patio of an Italian restaurant on the Hill in Saint Louis. We were celebrating my mother's 79th birthday. The dinner was fantastic; we had our fill of locally grown fresh green salad, whole grain penne with a homemade marinara sauce and a perfectly cooked piece of Dover sole. Everyone seemed content, until my teenage son looked at his plate and screamed.

Nothing grabs my attention quite as quickly as someone behind me on an airplane sneezing uncontrollably. Avoiding germs when traveling can be difficult, but there are ways to dodge them, or at least reduce the chance that your fellow travelers will infect you.

Day of Living Dangerously

Travel expands horizons and introduces new concepts, unexpected people and opportunities you've never had. Sometimes, not often, those things can happen right at home. Last week Karen and I drove twenty minutes from our homes here in Dallas to the remarkable world of the Jjim-jil-bang or Korean bathhouse. We walked into King Spa and Sauna with no clue of what we were doing. It didn't matter-everyone was very kind and we got tips from fellow bathers as we went through the day.

Remember the adage, "Women have to work twice as hard to be considered half as good"? Dr. Lois Frankel writes in her bestseller, Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, "It's a myth that people get ahead because they work hard. The truth is, no one ever got promoted purely because of hard work. Likability, strategic thinking, networking, being a team player are but a few of the other factors that go into crafting a successful career."
Good Carb, Bad Carb
Andrea Beaman
Monday, September 12th, 2011
There seems to be a lot of confusion around whole grains, and good and bad carbohydrates.  I think the pandemonium occurred somewhere along the path of human food consumption when someone erroneously stated that all carbohydrates were bad. Who knows how it happened? I can only guess that maybe an innocent victim was wolfing down an oversized bagel too quickly and it got lodged in his throat.

Getting and staying in shape is a high priority for most people, but often is challenging. Travel also affects one's success in keeping fitness habits.
Green with Envy
Thursday, April 28th, 2011
I have a family of boots. Each pair of boots evokes a different feeling when I'm wearing them. The newest add to the collection are bright pea green (see photo) with a fit that feels as smooth as wax. Playful, these boots have some serious swagger! When I'm wearing them, I forget about all the others.
Confidence at the Core
Sharon Melnick
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Many people have spent the last 2 years working even harder but for less return and recognition. They think they can't move on because another opportunity may not be out there, or fear what they're doing won't provide the level of income.

Their confidence has taken a big hit during these times. Yet some people seem to be doing better than ever. You may wonder "why does it look so easy for them"?

The foundation of their success is confidence.

Journey to Joy

Picture this: a beautiful sunset, a radiant rainbow, a horizon that beckons you to traverse the ocean to a continent beyond.  Everything seems possible.  It's all within your grasp.  You lean forward in your beach chair - ready to embark - a smile on your face as you breathe the crisp ocean air slowly into your lungs.

My son is about to depart on the trip of a lifetime. He will be trekking on China's northern Silk Road for a month with a group of students from his high school. During the past few months, we have received many e-mails from the trip organizer giving us information about China's politics, culture, and history.

For people watching what they eat, the holidays lurk like monsters in a kid's closet. Sometimes we start eating what we know we shouldn't just because the holidays are coming: A preemptory shot of eggnog to keep feelings of deprivation at bay.

When my brain fog and unreliable memory got to be too much for me and my friends and family, I went to a doctor who gave me some hope and a book. This book, The Ultra Mind Solution -- Fix your broken brain by healing your body first: The simple way to defeat depression, overcome anxiety, and sharpen your mind, answered a lot of questions my shaky brain hadn't even come up with.

Medical research has shown that aging skin is the result of more than just years on the calendar. Exposure to environmental elements like sunlight (Ultraviolet or UV rays), smoke, and air pollution all contribute to skin aging.

If you Google the word "happiness" a resounding 72,800,000 results come up. Not surprising.

I think we are all too aware that our culture is fascinated, and let's be honest, inundated with the concept of happiness.

Why is the Teen/Young Adult Suicide Rate Increasing?
Julie Hersh
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Last October I went to Palo Alto, CA for my husband Ken's business school reunion. The trip allowed me to visit two friends from Octel Communications, both of whom have children at Gunn High School. Both hit me with the same news: four children from Gunn had killed themselves since the beginning of the school year.

I FEEL/I AM
Melissa Marks Garner
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
There are times when we all feel fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt.

We wouldn't be humans if we didn't experience these feelings.

However, what so often happens is that fear and unresolved trauma unconsciously become the guiding forces that derail us from living life to our fullest potential.
