1 of 7

1. There's a simple formula for weight loss. You must consume fewer calories than you expend. Calories are the energy in the foods you eat. You use up this energy everyday during exercise and daily activities. When your body needs more energy and has used up all the calories you've eaten, it goes to your fat cells and uses t... More..

As gas prices sky rocket, and daredevils surf on melting glaciers, few people in our modern world fail to see that we've been taking more than we've been giving to Mother Earth. Acting as a more responsible Earthling does not necessarily mean living on solar power, diverting toilet waste to the flower beds, or transporting t... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: True lessons learned the hard way during employment

50 of 126

In 2005, I interviewed for a position as Admissions Coordinator in a nursing home, hoping to move back to my hometown and be closer to my family. A few weeks later, I learned that the primary thing that determined the success of my new job was a number called "census," or the number of residents living in the nursing home on... More..

Home & Garden > Gardening (Other) True gardening stories: My most inspiring garden experience

57 of 131

I don't garden. I've "eaten" weeds with an electrical device. I've trimmed haphazard bushes. I've lopped off some dead roses. I never thought gardening was a worthwhile endeavor. With all the hungry and poor and lonely people in the world, how do a few pink flowers really make a difference? Fortunately, I never shared my poi... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Tips Developing compassion as a way of life for you and your children

81 of 128

As a child, I remember fighting with my siblings to get my fair share or to make my voice heard. In those times, one of my father's favorite sayings was "It's not all about you." While often said with force and intended to end the argument, the underlying message remains. Life is not about self or what you want or what makes... More..

Sciences > Psychology Tips for assessing your errors and becoming a better person

14 of 22

Most people take a backseat to life, allowing circumstances and other people to determine where they are going. It takes an established mental and emotional effort to live life on purpose, to determine where you want to go and how you can get there. One way to get from here to there is to evaluate how you're doing. When my h... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Is Humanism a religion?

23 of 32

Religion is essentially a system of worship. Some worship God; others worship themselves, money, power, or... humanity. To be a humanist is to center your life entirely on other people and the human condition. It seems very noble at first... to dedicate one's life to relieving hunger and preventing child abuse and seeking cu... More..

Relationships & Family > Acquaintances & Co-Workers Healthy acts of kindness

93 of 127

I read a sign on a church lawn today. It said, "He who angers you, controls you." In the same way that other people can have a strong effect on our emotions and well-being, we can make choices to improve the well-being of others, and therefore, ourselves. So often we get caught up in our own world: in our plans, our worries,... More..

Food & Drink > Candy & Desserts The origins of cotton candy

16 of 21

Whenever you go to the fair, amusement park, or circus, you're likely to see food vendors with blue and pink fluffy cotton candy, some in packages as large as a young child. The texture is soft, but sticks to the moisture of your fingers or tongue. In your mouth, it melts down to almost nothing, leaving a pure sweetness behi... More..

Food & Drink > Food & Drink (Other) Fight aging with antioxidants

37 of 48

"Antioxidant" has become such a buzz word that few people know what it really means. When iron is exposed to liquid, it oxidizes, or rusts. The iron itself undergoes a process of decay. The rust may flake off into pieces, and the iron slowly deteriorates. An antioxidant food slows or inhibits the oxidation of cells in the bo... More..
