4 Natural Ways to Rid Toenail Fungus
One of the most dreaded and, let’s face it, a disgusting ailment is toenail fungus (medically known as onychomycosis). As most who read my blogs know, I usually write about topics that I have experienced personally, and/or observed in patients. Well, for this one, it is both. For years, one of my toes would become afflicted, I’d treat it, and then a year or two later it would return. The truth is that “fungus is among us!” You may view…

7 Traits of a Serial Victim
Most self-help, personal growth, and motivational advice is consistent with the declaration that a victim mentality is bad for us: physically bad, emotionally bad, and spiritually bad. The televangelist, Pastor Joel Osteen urges, “Have a victor mentality, not a victim mentality. Yet, despite what we all know on the inside, being a victim sometimes just feels so comfortable, so usual, so familiar. It is what we have come to expect, so much so that often we don’t even realize we…

Expectations and Being True To Yourself
Most of our lives we are taught and learn very well to live according to the expectations that others set for us. When I say “others” I am referring to all the people in our lives who we love, respect and who we believe have our best interest in mind. As children this is an invaluable and important part of the process of growth and development. However, the truth of the matter is that whether we like it or not,…

How I Turned My “Disability” into “Loving Defiance” in Three Steps
In late 2015, I began my journey of self-discovery. I started reading social media posts and watching online videos.

There is an unseen essential that is intrinsic, universal and guiding everyone who listens. There is an invisible hand at work in the making of beautiful lives. Uncommon success is found on the spiritual plane; you can't get there through common convention or following others. Hard work is not enough; many work slavishly-hard for little reward. Intelligence is insufficient; there are so many educated and brilliant people who have failed utterly and completely. Goodness is not enough; think of how…

Will It Be Worth It?
We don’t want to have to. We just want it to work out. We do everything we can to prove that we belong, that we’re in the right place, that he’s the right one for us. We play the part, we take on the role, we pour all our time and energy into making this our place.
