You can buy contact lenses, including decorative contact lenses, from your eye doctor, on the Internet or from a mail-order company. It’s very i...

Head lice are very easily transmitted among children, who have hair that’s finer and thinner than adult hair. Infestations are especially common in school, where children spend time in close quarters. When kids share objects like headgear, hats and hairbrushes, the lice can s...
Submitted by Tsiionkwanonhso:te Staff 1. Do not act your age, or at least what you think your current age should act like. What was your best year so far? 28? 40? Now?

Submitted by Wholistic Health & Wellness Program Too many people live in a state of constant guilt. They feel guilty if they spend a cent on themselves.

Others feel guilty because their behavior and their values are frequently at odds. Here are some reassurances and...

Submitted by Wholistic Health and Wellness Program Many people spend their lives waiting to be happy. You may think, “if only I had more money,” or “could lose weight,” or you fill in the blank, then I would be happy. Well here’s a secret: you can be happy right now.

The truth is, happiness doesn’t come from wealth, perfect looks or even a perfect relationship. Happiness comes from within. This is...
Submitted by Wholistic Health and Wellness Continued from Issue # 20… A person will continue with various lines of thinking similar to the above and these form into Core Belief Concepts that will constrain their ability to manifest consciously. These kinds of programs block the manifestation ability and a person will be unable to find the money or establish the credit to purchase the new car, or maybe even buy the car and have to have it repossessed because of missed payments. This kind of disempowering thinking could also limit the p...

Perhaps you have compiled a list of “new possibilities’’ to work toward this year. We all have a list of resolutions that we are hoping to manifest.

I might add that most of us probably don’t particularly like the pad of the manifestation equat...

These facts may be alarming, but because skin cancer is mainly a behavioral disease, it is highly preventable. Follow The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Prevention Guidelines to stay sun-safe: •Seek the shade, esp...
