Myth: An ergonomic chair will change everything. Truth: It’s the sitting, not the chair. Myth: Exercising before and after work counteracts the effects of sitting all day. Truth: Sitting is an independent risk factor for heart disease (according to Peter Katzmarzyk, a lead researcher at Pennington Biomedical Research Center). Myth: Sit up straight (like your mother [...]
I’m a writer, photographer, designer. I spend most of my day in front of the computer. In fact, I get so lost in my work at times that I can be designing or editing, look up at the clock and 3 hours will have gone by without me noticing. Ever happen to you? Well, it’s [...]
I love to read. The library is one of my favorite places and has been since I could walk (at 9 months). Go ahead, call me a nerd. I’ve heard it before. Problem now is finding the time to read all the amazing books I find… books I know have valuable information and insight that [...]

So it’s officially been a year since we received our year supply of Ronzoni pasta from the photo contest I won. I have to admit that we have not finished all the boxes. I thought we would, surely. But it is not so. We still have pasta coming out our ears. We even donated some [...]
It would be a pretty big life-changing decision to become Amish, wouldn’t you think? Along with giving up electricity, that would mean giving up computers, telephones, TV, movies, cell phones, and the list just keeps going. On the other hand, there is something so alluring about the idea of living a plain and simple life, [...]
One of my favorite authors has now co-written a book with his daughter… Max Lucado and Jenna Lucado Bishop recently released their new book, You Were Made to Make a Difference.Besides the incredibly cool earthy looking cover, the inside pages are equally fun and reader-friendly. It’s perfectly suited for the teen audience it was written [...]
That’s a tall order. Finding the answer for what to do when life doesn’t turn out the way you want. Who wants to turn to Plan B? For some of us, Plan B isn’t even an option (like for Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada). For most of us “regular” folk though, we often have [...]
