About Me View My Posts
Acid reflux, or heartburn, is a very unpleasant feeling inside the chest which creates a burning sensation that rises to the neck. Heartburn usually occurs when the stomach acid backs up to the esophagus, which gives a feeling of a small fire in your chest. If heartburn is frequently bothering you for a stretch of about 2 weeks, it might be best to consult a doctor. Frequent heartburn may lead to long... February 08

Why Soul Time is Important for Women in Love and Life
by Sherrie Campbell
About Me View My Posts
By their very nature women are nurturers and tend to give out more than they receive. Women can become so focused on their careers, their husbands/boyfriends, their friends, entertaining and children that they forget themselves.

Good things do indeed come in small packages!

It seems like every time my fiancé and I are at the grocery store, we happen to walk past aisles that sells loaves of bread for 99 cents or a huge bag of chips for a couple dollars.

by Randy Stocker
About Me View My Posts
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could read the mind of someone who is grieving? We know that they are hurting from their loss, but they won’t accept our help or listen to our advice? They are asking themselves, “Why did this happen? Why can’t I cry? Why did God do this to me?” We really want to help, but just don’t know how. I lost my mother, Jean, and my two daughters, Jenelle-age 19, and Amy-age 9 to a... January 30

by Avery Neal, PhD
About Me View My Posts
Our soul is our very essence, it’s the part of ourselves that makes us who we are. It is separate from our body, which is simply our outer form, our shell, the home in which our soul resides. As we go through life, most of us become consumed with external factors, stressors, other people and even our physical form. As a result, we become less aware of our internal self, our soul, and what it truly... January 29

5 “Healthy” Foods That Aren’t So Healthy
by Rob Greenstein
About Me View My Posts
There’s nothing more sneaky than a food product that’s marketed as “healthy” but is actually far from nutritious. Every year, the food industry launches over 250,000 new products for our grocery shelves. While 85-95% of those products fail, there’s something fishy about all these new products, especially those marketed as “good for you.”Unfortunately, a majority of the packaged products you see advertising...
