How I Lost Weight Without Intense Exercise
It All Started With Lack Of Exercise I started to gain weight in my late teens. As a kid, I had a horse and I was horseback riding every day and was showjumping basically every weekend. I was really fit back then, I assure you that. My main interests shifted in my late teens, and you can possibly guess the direction? Boys! And I went to school in another town so it became too time-consuming for me to have a horse, so I sold it. Poor eating habits and less training made me start to gain weight.

The Silent Victims
I'm not exactly sure what to write, but I think I will use the list of questions on Vocal as a guide until I get the hang of this. The first one is "What do you love in this world?" Well, I have four children, and I love them more than anything. We have definitely been through a lot of hard times to get where we are now, as we escaped from my abusive husband. A lot of people do not understand when you say you "escaped", because most people think it's as simple as just walking out the door and never going back, but there is so much more to it than that.

Interview with Hyapatia Lee, Founder of Native Strength: Part I
Hyapatia Lee is out to revolutionize the mental health care system, or at least call into question the status quo; her past personal trauma fuels her tireless commitment to empower other people to heal themselves as she did and does heal herself. As a woman of Native American (Cherokee) descent, Hyapatia is well versed in the ancient inter-tribal ideology known as Native Wisdom—in fact, it was this very teaching that rescued her from the depths of her own mental anguish. So transformative was the effect of this spiritual discipline, Lee eventually developed the philosophy into "Native Strength," which teaches self-healing techniques for practical application.

Guilt, Blame, and Shame
Guilt, blame, and shame have only one genuine purpose and that is to lead us to better choices. They should not be used as weapons in the lives of other adults. We need to use these tools in positive ways, not negative ones. When we feel these emotions, they should spur us into evolution. Once these new modalities have been adopted, these three emotions are totally useless and must be abandoned. The only time they should be used again is if we are tempted to slide back into negative behavior. It is senseless to feel guilt over an activity we have long ago abandoned, beating ourselves up over it. The lesson has already been learned. The behavior has been changed. There is no reason to continue to feel guilty over a past that cannot be changed and from which we have learned to do better. We must abandon the guilt as we no longer have a use for it and allow ourselves to move out of the past and into the present.

Here are some recommendations in case you have no idea what to listen to. Some of these songs are in different languages, but the beat is to dance.
