Pregnancy is a beautiful passage of life, and childbirth, the grandest miracle, is an experience that can be shared by both husbands and wives. Ladies, please pass this onto your man.

When it comes to the question of carbohydrate consumption, there are two essential elements that we should consider: What is our underlying goal and what kind of lifestyle do we have? Most often our sights are set on weight loss, and in some cases a period of carb reduction is a necessary or viable option. But what if I lead a sedentary life? What if I am a recreational athlete? Am I an endurance-trained or strength-trained athlete?

Having its roots in India, Yoga is a body of knowledge that has been well documented as far back as 5,000 years. Its core meaning is “union”; yo in Sanskrit means to bind or to yoke.

I have the maturity to let go of expectations, and the love to keep on giving. Much more than withstanding adversity, I harness the depth of my resources. My powers of endurance and renewal accompany me into the trickiest situations, like a favourite coat that I take wherever I go. I always bounce back, complying with change, prospering from the game.
Today I will keep the big picture in mind.

Are you a Computer Jockey? Chances are if you need to be at a computer any or all of your workday, you are a Professional Computer Jockey. Of course, there are also Amateur Computer Jockeys who operate a computer for 50% or less of a workday. Then there are the Recreational Computer Jockeys who may be on a computer for zero to 25% of the day but may spend up to 50% or more of their free time on the computer…computer gamers, hobbyists, chatters, and surfers.

I enjoy what life offers. Understanding its ebb and flow, I know that my needs will be filled as surely as the tide flows in. I wander the shores of my experience, savouring the remarkable variety. Sometimes seemingly worthless treasures are tossed up to be re-examined. I care for each one, worthy or worn-out, pleased with the way my awareness is inspired. These inner riches guide my soul into relationships of giving and self-acceptance.
Today I will make a list of ten good things in my life.
