+ more bio informationLife and learning are all about choices. Little by little we are literally allowing the government to take over our lives, thus our choices to live as we see fit! We are allowing ourselves to be robbed of the freedom of choice in virtually all areas of our lives. Now McDonalds is being targeted. McDonalds has never been know...
NO! Targeting smokers is not fair at all! I recently quit smoking after 41 years of indulging in that unhealthy,nasty habit. I can tell you that it was not the cost that caused me to quit or I would have quit while I was single-handedly raising 4 children with little help. The guilt I felt for money spent on such a selfish h...
As a mother of 4 daughters, I feel very strongly on this issue as I'm sure most mothers do.

Many, many felons are individuals with low self-esteems and misguided upbringings. A good number of them have fallen prey to drugs and alcohol. Many are very young when they acquir...
My mother whose health has been declining slowly over the past two years suddenly took an extreme turn for the worse a couple of weeks ago. It was determined by her doctor that she would need round the clock care. He advised us to put her in a nursing home. Upon receiving this advice, a vision instantly popped into my mind. ...
Anyone that can remember their childhood will recall that we always desperately wanted whatever our parents would not allow us to have. The key here is not to ban television but to lesson the desire. And how does one do that, you ask? Read on. As parents it is our responsibility to show our children healthy lifestyles and to...
My daughter, who is now 13 has been on MySpace for over a year now.
