astrology reading

 I'd always thought it would be fun to sit for an astrology reading, but I'd never actually worked up the courage to do so before. I guess I was a bit afraid of what I might find out. I mean, what if it was bad news? What if I were destined to be a failure, would never meet my perfect match, and would live just a short, uneventful life? Those aren't exactly the kinds of things I wanted confirmed by a psychic! So I simply avoided them until recently, when I finally worked up enough courage to see what was written in the stars about me. Since I'd never had an astrology reading before, I didn't really know where to go to find a good psychic. Of course, I'd seen commercials and magazine ads for various 900-numbers that I could call in order to get an astrology reading, but I naturally couldn't find any of those numbers now that I was ready to use one. So I figured I'd go online instead and see what kind of information I could get from the Internet. First of ...

After school activities and burnout

 fter school activities and burnout 


For millions of parents around the world, the day does not end with the school bell. There are still pictures to be painted, songs to be sung and games to be played. This all adds up to keeping children happy, safe and out of trouble. But, parents have to steer away from going overboard.


After school is not baby-sitting:

After school activities thrive only if it is backed by sufficient parental involvement. What would a soccer match be without parents cheering their little heroes from the sidelines?.


Research and choose:

Instead of convenience being the decisive factor, find out things that will interest your child. Once you select a program, get the fine print and find out what you have to contribute.


Free time:

Many children attend piano classes, followed by ballet and squeeze in some time for play dates in between just before they rush home in time for bed. This rigor is too much for a child. So, go slow.


When to quit:

Often, parents enroll their child in an activity to discover that he may not be the prodigy they thought he would be. This is the time to let go. Your child may not become the next wonder-kid. But, let him cultivate an interest that he enjoys. Remember, happiness and fulfillment are all that matter.

animal books

 Kids have all different tastes, but if there is anything that all kids like, it is animals. When you buy books about animals for your children, you are guaranteed to receive a smile in return. Although kids go through different phases in their reading, animal books are always one of the first things that they pick up on, and often become long-lasting favorites. When I was a kid, I loved any kind of animal story or animal book. Animal coloring books were my favorite, but I also loved fables, myths, and longer stories as well. Black Beauty was the very first novel that I fell in love with, and I have read it many times since then. My mom used to take us out to the bookstore. We would each get to pick out a book while we were there. My brother would take something about planes, or cars, or sports, but I would always go for the animal books right away. He made fun of me sometimes for it, calling me a girl for how much I liked animal books, but I didn't care. I knew that he was wrong a...

aerobic systems

 Getting back into shape after being overweight for a long period of time or after giving birth to a child can be quite demanding and tedious. There is generally a long way to go at this point. If your main concern is excess fat, then your primary focus should be cardio and aerobic systems. It's often easier to wait one the weights. I say this only because once you begin weight training; you will start putting on pounds. Granted these are muscle pounds, which are great. But, tackling cardio exclusively in the beginning can be the most efficient route. Shed the extra fat and then proceed to the strength building. It's a process.  About a year ago, my wife finally decided to crack down and discard her extra body fat. She has given birth to three children; therefore it's only natural for her to have gained a few extra pounds. While she used to weigh around 110, she now weighs in at 128. At 5'4" this isn't that bad if you ask me. Her basic goal is to get back to 11...

About Yoga

 About Yoga Yoga is a system of philosophy that originated in India 5000 years ago that is focused on the attainment of enlightenment and the liberation of one’s self from those burdens that can have negative effects on the mind, body, and spirit. The practice of yoga was brought to the Western countries, like the United States, after it gained popularity because of the many touted benefits. However, most teachers of the philosophy place the most emphasis on the physical poses and less on the meditation aspect.
