Believe in Yourself

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

5 must-do exercises for strong, toned arms

THE INCHWORM: An exercise that strengthens arms, shoulders, chest and core - the ultimate multi-tasker.

It's really easy to get stuck into performing the same, stock standard moves for your arms. A few that come to mind: bicep curls, tricep dips and push ups.

Women are generally concerned about growing "bulky" when it comes to training their arms and this holds them back from stepping in to the weight room but it couldn't be further from the truth.

The Hedgehogs

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the cold.

The hedgehogs, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions.

After awhile, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth.

The Magical Mustard Seed

There is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. In her grief, she went to the holy man and asked, "What prayers, what magical incantations do you have to bring my son back to life?"

How to Speak Your Spouse’s Love Language (and What to Avoid)

 

Love… It’s a word everyone uses and a concept sought by all. In marriage we make a covenant commitment to love each other whole-heartedly through our actions. We profess it, we show it, we receive it, and we feel it – at least that’s the hope. Love is not something you can check off a list, it’s a way of living, thinking, and doing.
Love is a particularly tricky word in modern english (ex. there are 4 distinct words for love in Greek). I’d argue that it’s come to mean very little in itself. We use the same word to express our affection for casual things like our favorite flavor of ice-cream; but we also use it to signify our lifelong devotion to our spouse.
I love chocolate ice cream.
I love my wife.
I love Jesus.

Pregnancy can be an exciting time for expectant mothers, but just as bringing a child into the world opens a lot of new doors, pregnancy can bring about new, sometimes uncomfortable sensations to a mother-to-be.
