It's official, today is our one year anniversary! I remember that first day like it was yesterday...the promo, the nervousness, the fear of imploding the site. Ahhh, those were the days.

We have a real treat for you today. Meta-Physician, Deborah Stuart, forwarded the following chart to me to help with understanding and developing a healthful emotional state of being. First, please read a little about her and the contributions she's made to this science.

Sorry, Ladies; this is going to be short...no, I mean really short today. My head is currently experiencing one of the worst migraines that I've had for awhile. I've just never missed a Wellness Wednesday before, not willing to do it now.

If each of us truly understood all the ins and outs of our bodies and what the different parts need to do and have for health, our brains would probably implode from all the information.

After learning that my father had been hospitalized with blocked arteries, I realized how fortunate that I am to have him in my life. It's not that I haven't realized it before, it's just when you suddenly get news like that, you take inventory...at least I do.

Today, we have the pleasure of hearing from our own Dr. Lamse on the topic of caffeine and tea consumption. She gives her advice on the best ones for health and a few facts that you should know about what you're putting into your body when you drink these types of beverages.

I'm REALLY upset about this one! Aspartame producer Ajinomoto chose to rebrand it under the name AminoSweet, to “remind the industry that aspartame tastes just like sugar, and that it’s made from amino acids – the building blocks of protein that are abundant in our diet.”

OK, let's get down to some business concerning warm weather, leg-baring, soon-to-be-bathing suit-season. It's not a secret that we ladies (and some men) really want to look and feel great for the time of year when we get out more, bare more, and need more energy.

I've been thinking a lot about courage and confidence lately, so much so that it's having a positive effect on me and the way I'm dealing with new situations. You know that I really do act on the things that I talk about here...don't you?
