Your Exercise Support System
You don’t have to keep your resolutions or meet your goals all by yourself. In fact, some say you can’t. We all need a good support system to help us through the rough spots. When it comes to any kind of work out routine, having a support system is very important. There are a number [...]

Continue Reading...A Dozen Ways to Increase Your Happiness

Exercise and Healthy Eating
OK, I’ve spent two weeks discussing exercise. And, if you followed the link I put at the end of Jan. 9’s post, you’ve been reading my food related posts at Carma’s Cookery. But that’s really treating food and exercise like they are separate topics.
Now, of course, to some degree they are. But, because both impact [...]
Rock Collecting As A Hobby
When I was a kid, my mother was studying geology and so I picked up the hobby of rock collecting. Although, I don’t follow that hobby any more, I still have a couple of the more special rocks from my collecting sitting on the bookshelf across from my desk.

Gardening is a great hobby. It gets you out and about — so its good for the body. And it keeps your mind active. But gardening is heavily dependent on weather, which, if you’ve been watching the news lately, has been a bit erratic of late.
So, a hobby greenhouse may be in order. A hobby [...]
Feed Your Spirit
You spirit needs to be fed if you are to be creative. The Holistic Writer’s Spirit blog focuses on this aspect of the writing life. How does a writer feed her or his spirit?

What Is Physiotherapy?
Not too long ago, I was working on my chiropractor’s website. One of the pages I did was about “physiotherapy.” I asked him what the difference was between physiotherapy and physical therapy, because they didn’t look any different. He told me they were the same thing, but only a physical therapist can provide physical therapy, [...]
