Gratitude is Good for Our Health Did you know that scientists have done brain imaging of people thinking of things they are grateful for?  The results were impressive – happy thoughts release serotonin and dopamine into our bloodstreams.

Godly Goals

G is for Godly Goals

I have a feeling that for many of my readers, the idea of Godly Goals might be a foreign concept. Goals are just goals, right? Well, not so fast. In a recent conversation with a dear friend, she told me that she was in a knitting competition with one of her acquaintances.

It took me 17 years after high school graduation to earn my Bachelor’s degree. While I went to school on and off during those years, I was constantly learning. My informal education includes hundreds of books on health, natural healing...
