Healthy Lifestyle Changes
As we age, we have to make changes to our lifestyle and health habits. It becomes more of a priority to monitor what we eat, what vitamins we take and also to get on an exercise regimen that we can fit into our lives. These changes have to meet the challenges we face as our body ages and it may not move as quickly as we used to.

What Will The New Year Bring?
What will the New Year bring? As we hustle and bustle these last few moments before the holiday exchange, many of us are writing lists of what we need to start doing once the holiday is over. Like most of us, we tend to take this week off mentally from the responsibilities and goals of our everyday existence.

Is That Text Really Important?!
Today I saw the worst scenario on the highway - someone driving in the middle lane and swerving left to right at a slow and steady pace. I knew I had to get around him. I was hoping that the person wasn’t drunk or falling asleep, but of course, they were texting. Texting very seriously with their phone right on the steering wheel. This made me so angry I honked at him but he did not look up.

When going on an interview, and putting the usual nervousness aside, be prepared with some answers to common interview questions. If you rehearse these ahead of time you will grasp most of your answer when replying, no matter how stressed you feel.

Journaling
Journaling to Relieve Stress I am sure many of you have heard that journaling can relieve stress. Sometimes it feels as if you are getting something out in the open just by writing it down. When you first start journaling you just write about what happened during your day. The goal is to dig deeper and express feelings in your writing. Expressing feelings of anger, sadness and anxiety in your writing is like taking it out of your body and looking at it. It is like getting something “off your chest” without yelling it out at someone. Start slowly and you will see how this daily ritual adds to your calmness and ultimately your overall well-being.

Baked Grouper in a Snap
Easy to Make Baked Grouper Whenever I go to a restaurant specializing in seafood, I love trying new ways of eating my favorite fist. Two of my favorites are salmon and grouper. I have been cooking salmon at home for a long time without hesitancy. Recently, I got the nerve to actually cook grouper, sometimes referred to as the Poor Man’s Lobster, (my favorite fish) at home.
