Spring Break Tips: Protecting Your Kids From The Sun

It's Spring Break...what better time to take your kids to the beach. When taking your child to the beach or out to play, it is important to remember that the sun's rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunscreens are designed to basically block the sun's rays. The "Sun Protection Factor" (SPF) is a measure of how much protection the sunscreen offers. For example, an SPF of 30 means that a child can stay out in the sun 30… Continue

Bad Habits: 10 Strategies For Getting Rid of Them

Your habits can be either the reason for your success or the cause of your failure.  Many philosophers and wise men through the ages have spoken about the importance of habit.   An old proverb states "Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of."

Being Well is Not Optional

Being Well is Not Optional

As a Life Coach I constantly hear people complain about issues that are deeply affecting their lives and acting as barriers to them living successful and satisfying lives. One of the reoccurring themes in many of these conversations is the fact that we do not take good care of ourselves. We are so consumed with our daily tasks and responsibilities that we forget that if we are not well, then we will really have reasons to be worried about.

How To Play...A Little Hard-To-Get

Playing a little hard-to-get is a game that may seem unappealing at first glance: when done intentionally, it can feel a little dishonest, as well as intimidating. However, a certain amount of hard-to-get play is perfectly healthy, since if couples didn't play it with one another, the world would be full of desperately attached, naive, and bitter people.

After all, most of us desperately want to be known and loved deep… Continue

Aging in Place

Have you noticed how good some "seniors" look today...

I sure have...I met an 82 year old lady last week who did not look a day over 60.

I plan on looking and feeling good in my 60s, 70s and beyond.

Shoes & Handbags & Gigas... Oh My!

Recently, a group of community members met to discuss the City of Lakeland’s application to Google to be considered as a test community for ultra-high speed broadband. I knew it would be a cool meeting, but I didn’t quite know why… I am a self-proclaimed tech-moron.
