Realizing Your Love Languages – Nicky Hassaballa

Although I may tell myself that I don’t feed into it or I don’t care, Valentine’s Day is the first thing that pops into my mind every February. It’s not that I need a heart shaped box of chocolates or an obnoxious bouquet of flowers, but it’s more so a reminder that my relationship status in Single. Although Valentine’s Day is only for a day, for the entire month, I seem to wallow in the fact that I don’t have a romantic partner. Many single women will say that they want a nice guy that treats them well and shows them admiration and respect. However, when that type of man crosses our path, we tend to brush them off because they either don’t excite us enough or make us laugh or are not spontaneous and romantic. And so, we constantly feel like we are always back at...

Good to Better – Ann Justi

Most people want things to be the best. Being the best is about being better. Being better every day. Being better than yesterday. Being better even when circumstances change, or things don’t get better at first. Here are several ways to go from good to better. How good things are now. Look at macro and micro-moments to see how good things are now. What obstacles have you overcome, what major accomplishments (that you really wanted) have you achieved, and what wisdom have you gained from your experiences? I use micro gratitudes every day to maintain a positive mood and outlook. I am breathing, alive, I have food, shelter, the ability to move, think, beauty to see, and all those things we take for granted, that parking space you got, all the people who make it possib...

What every woman needs to Know about Dementia – Christina Neal

More women than men are at risk of developing dementia, and women are more likely to be the main carers for loved ones with the disease. Christina Neal, Founder & Editor of Dementia Help magazine, reveals some common symptoms to look for and how to reduce your risk… Do you know someone living with dementia? Or perhaps you have a friend caring for a loved one with the condition? Dementia affects the brain and can have a debilitating effect on those living with the condition, making them increasingly reliant on the support of their loved ones for daily care. I understand how difficult this can be, as my own mother had vascular dementia, causing her to go from being an independent and self-sufficient woman living alone to needing assistance with even the most basic daily tasks. While t...

Perimenopause-Menopause, get prepared to figure it out for yourself – Theresa Russell

What is it and why are healthcare providers not prepared to help women when they seek out assistance? Why is half of the population still suffering, most of them in silence? We can ask endless questions to most health care providers but most of them will not answer. Women’s health has been deemed as unimportant. Medical schools do not educate on hormones. Therefore, gynecologists are not prepared to offer menopausal women guidance on this subject. Be prepared when you do want to talk about your strange symptoms that you will be brushed off and a prescription for an anti-anxiety medication will be given to you. Before you get that filled make sure that you look at the side effects. You do not want to trade one symptom for another one. Ladies, you are your own health advocate. You need...
