Today, at a team meeting, our team leader asked all of us why we do what we do, why are we in business? The answers from everyone surprised me. I thought everyone would say, “Well, to make money of course.” But no one came up with that answer and that surprised me. The answers ranged from “I like the flexibility of being self-employed,” to “I like being in control of my future, my time, my business,” to “this has been my passion for a long time.” I was glad to hear these answers be...

Reiki is a form of "vibrational medicine". It is a bio-field (the magnetic field that surrounds the body-also known as the auric field) therapy. This energy field surrounds the body and has energy centers known as chakras that control the energy flow from the energy field to the physical body. Reiki is an energy based approach to health and healing by using touch to influence the human energy system. Non-invasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize, and... Read More

There's a new era in this country's history being unveiled daily. The United States is on the brink of disaster. This country is nearly bankrupt and its balance sheet has been in the red for decades. We the people will put up with raising the debt ceiling for only so long before we have to make the hard decision to put the United States in default. It is sad that politicians, supposedly responsible adults, can't keep to a budget. They are like teenagers running around the mall with their parent'... Read More

Invitations. I posted a quick and short annoyance on my Facebook page this weekend and the replies I received were phenomenal so I thought I'd share it here and expand on the topic a bit. One of my biggest pet peeves is regarding invitations. Or the replies to invitations. It really rubs me the wrong way when people give you a "maybe" to an invitation. There are only two correct answers to an invitation, either "yes" or "no" there is no - "I'll try to make it." I am not talking about s... Read More
Growing up in the south, and particularly in north Alabama, farming was a way of life. I don't remember my Daddy as a farmer, but as a local business owner. But I was well aware that farming was his roots. Several of my uncles farmed and every weekend my grandfathers both went to the "sale barn". In his last couple of years, as his health declined, my sister's and I took care of my dad. There was hardly a trip to the dr's office that som... Read More
Here is a short history lesson about Blogs. We'll call it Blog 101. Blogs have come a long way and also reinvented itself many times over in a short amount of Internet time. The term "blog" came from combining the two words 'Web' and 'Blog' together to cleverly merge into the term Blog. According to Wikipedia, it was a clever chap named Peter Merholz who coined the term Blog. Starting off as online personal diaries, blogs soon morphed into mass communi... Read More
I don't know about ya'll but I am ready for summertime to be over. This heat is unbearable at times. Is it me or is this one of the hottest summers in a very long time? I've lived here since 1991 and it sure seems like this year is the hottest ever. This insane heat started on June 1 too. I remember. I made note. Normally the heat doesn't kick up a notch or two until mid July, or at least that is how I remember it. So when June 1 came along this year and the thermometer was already... Read More
Addressing the issue of what type of aerobic exercise is most appropriate for you is, at best, easier said than done so I am going to only cover a couple here. In reality, all forms of aerobic exercise do not offer the same features & benefits to you. Some are safer than others. Some are more engaging (i.e., less boring). Some enhance more than one component of fitness at a time. Some are more expensive. Some involve a slightly longer learning curve. Some aerobic exercise products requ... Read More
I just got back from a small vacation in Ohio. Ohio? Yes, Ohio. I was raised most of my life in a little town in southern Ohio called Portsmouth, Ohio. From my grandparents living room window we could see Ashland, Kentucky. When I left Portsmouth, Ohio it was 1985 and I've never been back until last week. I went to visit my sister and her kids. There is a ten-year age difference between my sister and myself. She is the youngest. My sister was two years old when I lef... Read More

In the upcoming months I will be providing weekly forums and blogs on exercise, fitness, and nutrition. There will be tips, myths, and questions on a wide variety of subjects. We will even be posting a few healthy substitute recipes to get people started on a... Read More
