Coffee has never been more popular, with an estimated 3 billion cups consumed every day.
Caffeine can promote alertness, and it may decrease the occurrence of depression.
However, sleep can be negatively affected by caffeine. It can create a never-ending cycle of reduced sleep, fatigue, and a need for increased caffeine consumption.
Our sensitivity to caffeine and the impact on our sleep seems to be dep...

Good neighbours help each other.
You can't pick your neighbors but if you are lucky, you have good neighbours.
I live in the country and I don’t really have close neighbours, but I do wave to them, as we drive by. And when my boys were little, it was the neighbourhood teenagers that I counted on for babysitting.
Neighbours who look out for one another are the key to a strong community. It was this conne...

You may be like me and feeling that the challenges and changes that we are currently facing are taking their toll on your energy and your mental health. We have buckled down, and hunkered down.
We will never feel at ease or in control if our task list is so long that it doesn’t allow for a little downtime.
A lack of self-care causes more stress. Self-care during challenging times is critical. Without it...

“You can’t do anything right”. “This is your fault – It’s always your fault”.
Those who are emotionally abusive, are just as dangerous as those who are physically abusive.
People can be emotionally abusive by:
Rejecting the person by undermining self-esteem, criticizing, humiliating, blaming, or ridiculing
They can withhold affection or threaten to take away possessions
Abuse my also be restricting acce...

If running the kids around was actually exercise I would have been in such amazingly good shape! Unfortunately, as women, caregiving can get in the way of taking care of ourselves. Often, we spend our time looking after the needs of others and sacrifice our own health along the way. “Someday I will get to it”, is a motto that many of us have lived by.
Guilt is not helpful either. Feeling guilty becau...

When you think of stress and food, you are often told to stay away from treats, like ice cream cones.
Ice cream: My favourite food. Creamy. Cold. Sweet. Hard or Soft…doesn’t matter. I love ice cream. It can be high in fat and it contains a lot of sugar. And it’s not the kind of snack food that I should have everyday…though wouldn’t that be absolutely wonderful? An ice cream cone has some definite pros.

Sirens, television, computers, printers, car stereos, endless talking — Most of us accept this daily racket as normal.
It is not until we step away, into a peaceful setting, such as when we are walking in a park or camping at the lake, that we notice how loud our life can get.
And it is odd what we can get use to as normal. During the heat and humidity of this summer, I had the fans on high and it didn’...

Have you lost touch with an old colleague? Have you ever thought about reaching out to a childhood friend?
In the ‘old’ days, that would have been almost impossible and possibly very expensive. However, today, it is relatively easy to search down most people from our past.

I disagree with the usual sentiment. Respect is earned, not given. I believe that Respect is given, first. But you can lose my respect and you may have to earn it back.
Our default setting should be to respect every person we meet. Every single one.
Respect is not just deep admiration for someone elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. Respect is due regard for the feelings, wishes, rig...

I find the transition from summer into fall a tough one. I feel draggy, and sometimes not very creative or motivated to work on my business.

Children do not attempt or die by suicide

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
