February is Heart Health Awareness Month!  Here's a great article by Melanie Haiken, Senior Editor at Caring.com on how to Get Heart Smart and Stay Heart Healthy! 7 Surprising Signs of an Unhealthy Heart By  Melanie Haiken , Caring.com senior editor We've all read the signs of a heart attack listed on posters in the hospital waiting room. But what if there were other, earlier signs that could alert you ahead of time that your heart was in trouble? It turns out there are. Researchers have done a lot of work in recent years looking at the signs and symptoms patients experienced in the months or even years leading up to a heart attack. "The heart, together with the arteries that feed it, is one big muscle, and when it starts to fail the symptoms can show up in many parts of the body," says cardiologist Jonathan Goldstein of Saint Michael's Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey. Here are seven surprising clues that your heart needs a check. Any of these sign...

When the world of imagination has become all too real and the world around us has become blurred ... we find ourselves lost & confused. When we have become obsessed over material things to the point we believe ourselves not happy unless we have millions of dollars to spend and all the luxuries that it can buy ...  If we are obsessed over someone in our lives to the point they are all we can think about, and soon we find ourselves living for that moment when we will next see or hear from them ...  When we become addicted to food, drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, etc. We find ourselves totally out of control ... with seemingly no way out ...  When we are any or all of the above .. we are imbalanced emotionally & mentally.  Emotional & Mental well being is a vital part of spiritual growth.  To Grow Spiritually simply means to obtain and maintain Balance ... in ALL aspects of our human lives!

Do you reflect upon the years gone by as you prepare for yet one more, with promises and resolutions that you have made before? Do memories of people and places once as sharp as any knife now blend in bits and pieces in a kaleidoscope of life? Do you squander precious minutes seeking reasons why you’re here,  contemplating your life’s purpose year after passing year? Persuade yourself to understand, it matters not the reason. Your purpose is to seize the life in every passing season! Learn to see things differently. Let your thoughts and actions change. Allow your views of past and present to slowly rearrange. Let your spirit start anew; become focused and aware of the moments and the blessings that surround you everywhere! Do not permit past memories: the where…the who…the how to become more important than the ones you’re making now. Live life in person; inhabit every day. You may not like where you are now, but you’re there anyway! A lifetime is a puzzle, every f...

E-cigarette health risks could potentially outweigh the risks of smoking regular cigarettes. The levels of nicotine in e-cigarettes can kill a child, its carcinogens can cause cancer in adults, and the unknown chemicals added to the nicotine-laced liquid solution are kept hidden from the consumer. Because of the e-cigarette health risks, “the French government has already vowed to extend existing legislation controlling the sale and consumption of tobacco to cover e-cigarettes,” reported EuroNews on Aug. 27, 2013. The e-cigarette health risk warning has been issued after a French study discovered that e-cigarettes are not as harmless and without health risks as many e-cigarette smokers are led to believe. “The vapours can contain almost the same amounts of the carcinogenic compound formaldehyde as in a conventional cigarette.” *~*~*~*~* Concerns about the health effects of e-cigarettes have prompted a California town to consider a moratoriu...
