Natural Rx-Free Inflammation Relief

I am at day number 20 of a 21 day corporate Daniel fast with my church and I must say that this has been my most successful attempt thus far. It has been so successful I have willingly decided to continue to fast on my own. It is pretty much a vegan diet with a spiritual aspect attached based on the first chapter of the book of Daniel. After the detox portion of the first two weeks, which if it doesn’t make you quit,...

Staying In

Guest post written by Fidel Hernandez There’s nothing I like more than staying at home on a rainy Saturday afternoon and watching a really old movie on AMC. I pretty much like anything Elizabeth Taylor is in and I love Cary Grant, obviously, and it’s so much fun to snuggle up with the dog and a cup of hot chocolate and catch up on my rest! I only got a TV just last year because I always just thought I didn’t need one...

Holiday Wish List

Have you made your wish list? If you have, what’s on your list to purchase this holiday season? Is it filled with items for yourself, your kids, your household or all of the above? In October of 2003 I was just about homeless. After 9/11 my self-owned and operated online bookstore and street vending business trickled to a slow halt. I was not in the position mentally to go job hunting again and I was sadly living off of my...

Deserving Eyes

I have been an avid reader since I read my first words at age 4. I was one of those kids who actually used a flashlight to read after being sent to bed. Until I became an adult and thought about it, I was confused as to how my sisters always knew that I wasn’t sleeping when my head was under the covers. To my dismay, I received my first pair of glasses around age 15…right smack in the middle of almost-ready-to-date...

Where Do We Go From Here?

Search Engine Optimization existed for years before anyone even coined a name for it. With the advent of social media sites like myspace, facebook, and twitter, to name a few, the corporate world has been forced to take notice. Why? Because the popularity of such sites have grown and keep on growing and spawning other sites like it. Now, instead of being penalized for surfing myspace and facebook, companies are hiring teams...
