Home & Garden > Weeds & Pests True gardening stories: The worst pest experience: 1 of 66
Adventures in My Quiet Little Place By age 38, I had eight kids. As dearly as I loved them, I wanted a quiet place to go to. When my youngest was two years old, I decided to build a garden. I found a good spot with great sun exposure beside the long looping driveway. South of the space I had chosen cedars had grown tall but ... More..
Jobs & Careers > Professionalism The importance of self-image in the business world: 5 of 40
Wearing body armor is obviously inappropriate in most, if not all realms of the business world. Likewise, a negligee, diamond grill or jeweled crown would presumably also be deemed ill-suited for a professional environment and likely harm one's professional reputation. Similarly, because self image displays itself through a p... More..
Health & Fitness > Allergies Coping with food intolerance and allergies: 6 of 34
Thanks to the incessant return of allergies year after year, through my own quest of trial and error I have discovered the road to relief.

There are those comfortable in the skin they have covering them. They find clothing suitable to their taste, qualifying through texture, color, shape and weight.

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: A life touched by Christ: 1 of 4
It's hard to recall who I was before I met him. I can think of words to describe the way I lived and I can almost remember how I felt, but I can't remember who I was. It seems to me that I was only sleeping. Dying, sleeping, wandering around like a zombie groping in a dark world for anything I could grab and pound against my ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 89 of 313
"It is a woman's personal right, it is no one else's business." That is a really bad joke. What is the difference between a baby whose heart started to beat two weeks ago and one whose heart has been beating for twenty weeks? The older one is bigger. What else? More developed.

Rejuvenation and life sprung up from the soil foundation of my backyard for the first time last summer.
