May 13, 2012 by
Thank You, Mom! You Shaped Me! Happy Mothers Day – 2012! My mother was a piece of work. She bought me a $10 used bicycle and a large basket when I was ten years old and pushed me out the door to go door-to-door selling boxes of all occasion greeting cards to make extra money. There were 21 cards in a box for $1.00. She put together a make-shift accounting method so I could know when I needed to order new merchandise and how much I was making per item sold. I became immune to the … [Read more...]

May 10, 2012 by
As we approach Mother’s Day this Sunday and then observe Women’s Health Week (May 13-19), it is an excellent opportunity to focus on actions that can be taken to improve the health and well-being of mothers and their infants.

May 9, 2012 by
A mother is a nurturer, protector and so much more. But too many mothers suffer a cruel fate: their own death or the death of their child because the world is failing to help. This year, 1,000 mothers a day will die during pregnancy and childbirth. And 21,000 children younger than age 5 will die every day. Nearly all of these deaths occur in poor countries — and the biggest tragedy is that we know how to prevent almost all of these deaths. You can be the difference for a … [Read more...]

The air and fire signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius) dominate as we head into the weekend making this is a good time to flirt or assert yourself socially in other ways. Make the call or the contact now when people (including you) are fairly light on their feet because the emotional temperature will drop over the weekend and people will be less amenable. Saturday brings a reality check but it is no worse than anything we've dealt with over the last month. If you like how … [Read more...]
