Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Everything you need to know about Mormonism: 1 of 18

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints has gotten a bad rap over the years due to negative publicity of off-shoot mavericks and polygamy. However, this is one of the few Christian religions that offers a true plan for its members to follow for today's world. Having been raised Roman Catholic and having dabbled i...
Health & Fitness > Alternative Therapies Today's alternative therapies: Returning to medicine's historical roots: 1 of 14

There is no doubt that modern medicine can cure certain illnesses and diseases, but what a lot of people don't realize is that modern medicine had its start in folk medicine, also known as, alternative medicine. Back in the day when man was known as the hunter/gatherers, they observed the foods, nuts and berries that animals...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: How my cats got their names: 13 of 61

As I age, I am quickly growing into that 'crazy' cat lady that you always hear about ... you know, eccentric, forty cats following behind her, the scent of kitty perfume preceding her in every direction. Oh Lawd! Spare me from this fate, I've often groaned. But .. here I sit, and not alone mind you because my darlin husband ...
Pets & Animals > Cat Psychology & Training Understanding cats and their body language: 4 of 12

Cats ! Incredible little soft, furry beings who display all the charm and wit of a philosopher coupled with just the right amount of detachment to keep their humans forever interested. Why did kitty climb the drapes? Well ... to get to the top, of course! But, little did you know that at the top of those drapes was the teeni...
Travel > Travel Planning & Advice Ideal vacation spots: 17 of 46

My idea of Florida was Miami Beach, Cuban food and northerners mixed into a melange worthy of retirees and family junkets. I had no idea what I was thinking. Florida is truly an incredible place to visit and an even better place to live. It has more to offer than just beaches, although there are some of the most gorgeous bea...
Health & Fitness > Menstruation & Menopause Menstrual pain: its causes and cures: 5 of 9

When I was a young girl, my mother used to offer me a shot of whiskey with a sprinkling of black pepper on top or a shot of blackberry brandy for menstrual cramps.

Religion & Spirituality > Astrology & Prophecy Do Tarot cards work?: 13 of 20

The Tarot is an ancient art of divination used for centuries to tell one's future by the type of cards selected and their position in a lay of cards. To my experience, a deck of Tarot cards would work particularly well for the reader if the deck were a gift and not a paid for item. My sister likes to keep her deck in a handk...
Food & Drink > Diet, Health & Organic Foods The safety of organic food: 3 of 4

If you have never tasted an organic carrot or banana, you are truly missing something. The lack of chemical additives in organic produce far and away leaves the taste of mass produced fruits and vegetables bland and flavorless. It just takes one bite to prove it. I know this as fact because I owned a health food store a few ...
Sciences > Astronomy Contacting aliens: 15 of 18

What amazes me is man's audacity to believe that we are alone in the universe. Or, that we are the only universe! We are a mere drop in the bucket of existence so small, that we would fit on the head of a cosmic push pin. However, I concede that it is an extremely frightening claim to make, stating that aliens exist. Frighte...
Religion & Spirituality > Ghosts & Paranormal Phenomena Believing in ghosts: 65 of 77

Have you ever seen 'light beings?' You may not believe in ghosts, but I can tell you that light beings certainly do exist. I have photographed them in controlled situations with my digital camera. There are pseudo-orbs that show up in digital camera mode when you photograph in extreme humidity or rain. And, then, there are o...
