But some medical conditions become more common or more serious after we get a few decades under our belts. Getting older can be a triple whammy. You lose muscle as you age. That makes it harder to keep the pounds from creeping up. You also become less active. At the same time, your body burns fewer calories for the same physical activities as when you were younger. You probably……

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.” The……

Author Susan Taylor says, “Loving is our strongest human need. In our effort to satisfy our deepest craving, we regularly look outside ourselves to find a person to love. Don’t you love being in love? I know I do. I’ve invested more time and energy in love relationships than I have in most other things. But a relationship with another person will never satisfy our hunger for love. Each of us is created in and of love. God loves us. God is love in us. Each of us is the very activity of love. We have all the love we……

In sickness and in health with Dr. Gloria Ivey Crowe.

Posted on July 19, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

The National Conference of State Legislatures says, “Women, who are key in maintaining healthy families, access the health system more than men, both for themselves and on behalf of their children. Many become pregnant and give birth, a significant health event, then typically become their child’s primary caregiver, a role that greatly influences household health overall. Elder and long-term care issues affect women more often because they live longer; have higher rates of disability and chronic health problems; and lower incomes than men on average, which puts them at the greater need for state and community resources, such as Medicaid.……

Surviving human trafficking with Susan Young

Posted on July 14, 2019 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Danielle Douglas was 17 years old, a freshman at Northeastern University, when she met the trafficker who forced her into two years of sex slavery. Her mother Jamie spoke with UNICEF USA about the factors that made her daughter vulnerable — and what parents need to know about trafficking in the United States. Jamie Chesman: We definitely had some mother-daughter angst. She didn’t always give me a lot of information about her life or interests. I think that a lot of our daughters feel like they’re ready before they’re ready — she definitely felt that way. We dropped her off, carloads full of things from Bed……
