For this reason, making an apology should be taken very seriously. W...

(Enright & Fitzgibbons, 2000) Forgiveness is not... • Pardon, legal mercy or leniency • Condoning or excusing • Reconciliation (you...
By Tyler Touchette The fitness industry loves to complicate everything. There are thousands of diet books and methods to losing weight. The truth is we as people never needed any of these books or ‘self proclaimed gurus’ in the past - so why do we need them now? We don’t! What do we need?

Submitted by Danielle (Rourke) O’Mara – Health Coach So, I’m grateful that someone is reading this article/blog, it sure does reach enough people. My interest in health and wellness didn’t come overnight. I had to go through many emotional struggles before deciding to change my way of life.

We are disconnected from the Earth, disconnected from our food, disconnected from our spirit, and disconnected from our selves… As a good friend of mine once told me “Tyler, we are all sick.. All of us. And only we can get ourselves out of it.” I believe many people feel as though getting in better physical condition is like climbing Mount Everest. We think its impossible. We think we are screwed and there’s no fixing the damage done. Then we simply wait for illness...
