What a pleasant surprise I received as I researched the healing properties of the natural herb Aloe Vera. I learned that this popular household plant is often called the ‘miracle plant’ or the ‘natural healer’. Now I know with certainty that the title for my parent blog was divinely inspired: Enamored of Natural Healing. How [...]
Boy, oh boy! You cannot imagine what fun I had in researching this natural herbal remedy. My memories took me all the way back to more than six decades ago when I was a snotty-nosed-bare-footed kid living in the hood. Remember the high-pitched chant kids would chime when they out smarted their peers while playing [...]

So the very next time one of your skeptical ‘so-called friends’ starts giving you [...]
Can we talk? I have two questions for you: One for the ladies and one for the men. And if it is none of my business, just say so. “Are you a female who is going through ‘The Change’? Or are you a male whose workday has rendered you so up tight and wired by [...]
Do you know what Dr. Robert Butler, founding director of the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Health said about living a longer, healthier and happier life? He said don’t be afraid to play. Dr. Butler also reminded us that holding hands and hugging somebody reduces blood pressure; that giving or receiving [...]
