Hey, Ladies, I wanted to let you know that I had the opportunity to write a guest post at A Mom In Red High Heels. It's a story that details my adventure in finding the perfect red shoes for the DC Hair Loungegrand opening party last weekend. Please visit her site and check it out. She is a mom and blogger whom I respect immensely.

The stark reality of life can sometimes bring us to the point of confusion, desperation, and even self-destruction. Not to dwell on the negative, on the contrary, I want to share about the place that is on the other side of difficulties and tragedy - the place where you can look back and see that you were strong and brave.

If you are a long time migraine sufferer like me, than you likely have written that eviction notice to your body’s penthouse occupant at least a dozen times…oh, but wait, we do need our brains, don’t we. You would be lying if you said that you had not considered a rash plucking of your swollen blood vessels that are encapsulated inside your head. That’s what I thought…

With healthcare at the peak of political discussion and debate right now, I thought it a good time to chime in my two cents about the subject. First, let me explain that this post is by no means a political view or one that puts me at the feet of any party. What I care about is women and their families getting healthy and staying that way.

When it comes to showing the world who you are on the inside you may have no trouble. However, the outside dawning of a style that compliments what's going on in your mind and heart tends to plague even the most confident of women. Portraying a personality, whether it be fun-loving or somewhat demure, takes a little thought and planning.

Introspective Sunday: What Is My Purpose? Ooh...this is a loaded question and is likely one of the most important ones you can ever ask yourself. With various shoes to fill, women can become extremely busy meeting the needs of others; even though we willingly enter into many different ventures, tasks and jobs, are we truly fulfilling our life purposes within the mayhem?

Hi, Ladies! I need to be very brief today. I am helping a good friend with a big grand opening of her swanky salon. Between the shopping, decorating, getting my hair done, taking care of the Missy Moo (toddler girl), I am spread a little thin today. So, I wanted to share one short thing that makes me feel fortunate this fine Friday morning.

If your household runs anything like mine, then every time you turn around someone (I won't name names, but HE is a man, maybe the father of your offspring) sabotages your efforts to promote a healthful lifestyle. It's one thing if they want to pollute their own bodies with the likes of Doritos, Bugles, and soda, but back away from the kids; and keep that tempting snack parade out of our sight!

Introspective Sunday: Am I selfish? There is one problem with this question...that is if you actually are selfish. Most people who are self-centered won't even entertain the thought that they have "it's all about me" syndrome, at least until they have a revelation.

Today I want to talk to you about products- the ones that help us reach our health potential. Recently, I have been getting into organic personal care products and some natural therapies, especially in the aromatherapy category. To some the thought of getting healthy because of some scent is preposterous at best.

Have you ever dined out and had the server plop a plate of food down in front of you that could feed a football team? We are constantly bombarded with food portions that are WAY out of line with those that we should be eating. The key here is knowledge.

Women's Life Link would like to introduce, Shelley Henley. A mom, business owner, and woman of wisdom, she is a new friend and someone whom we feel you should get to know better. We met via the web when I requested a trial sample of some of her wonderful, organic personal care products.

All of us have a joyful girl inside...somewhere. Strangely, the simplest of things can bring her out. Recently, I had the opportunity to try some new organic body sprays by Joyful Girls Naturals. I had no idea how they would feel on or how they would smell mingled with my own unique scent.

Wellness Wednesday: You tell us. Today, I pose the question: Why do you want to be healthy? It is a known fact that if you don't have a good enough reason to do something, one that motivates through the hard stuff, you won't do it. So, I ask you to share your thoughts about this important subject.

In general woman seem to hold the purse strings when it comes to the family food budget, just as they primarily make the food choices. You may have noticed it a little more difficult to afford feeding your family lately, especially if you want healthy, organic food on your table.
