What pajamas should you wear to get a good night’s sleep?

Posted on November 21, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“If you’re not willing or able to shell out for silk, try bamboo, which is both moisture-wicking and hypoallergenic. Yala has some great minimalist options, or check out surfer-chic Australian brand . But the real key to picking the perfect pajamas is to make sure they’re comfortable for you. According to Matt Bianchi, the director of the Sleep Division at Massachusetts General Hospital, there’s been very little rigorous scientific investigation into what you should be wearing to bed, so the best sleepwear (or pillow, or bedding, or mattress) for you is “dominated by individual preference” — aka totally subjective. So, if polyester makes you dozy……

In Sickness and in Health

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

It definitely has its delights, but falling in love shakes up your life quite a bit. Devoting yourself to a partner includes taking on new friends, new relatives, and a new living arrangement. Pairing up also sparks sweet dreams about the goals you’d like to reach, trips you want to take together, kids you hope to have. Likely, the last thing on your mind is how your beloved will tweak your cholesterol levels. Yet, a large body of research shows that relationships steer our physical well-being as well as our emotional health. A romantic partner often has more influence on our behaviors than anyone else. Exactly how……

A gentle reminder that tonight is the night!

Please join me on your TV, computer, or mobile device tonight, September 09, 2017 at 8:00 pm ET. Webcast Worldwide on www.radiofairfax.org. Someone once said, “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” I would make my impossible dream possible. I would create a virtual, global community of intergenerational women, and those who love them, who are fearsome and generous, humble and honest, in pursuit of purpose. Women who come together to create beautifully rendered intimate moments. Women who are looking for a place to call their own. Because of you, my impossible dream is possible. Thank you! Every……

Why should you not be afraid to fail?

Posted on July 19, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

Some people make no room for failure in their lives. They run from it and won’t even entertain the thought of it. To do so would be a sign of weakness. A chink in their armor that opposition could exploit. “Failure is not an option” but how do they react when life doesn’t go to plan? Nobody gets it right 100% of the time. Nobody. Not even the greatest at what they do. Usain Bolt hasn’t won every race that he has run. It took Thomas Edison thousands of attempts to invent the lightbulb. Steve Jobs was fired from the very company he eventually transformed the world with. Winning……

How we see ourselves is who we become

Posted on July 12, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“As human beings, the stories we subconsciously tell ourselves about our circumstances, about others, and about life in general drastically changes how we feel. If the stories are positive, we tend to feel good. If the stories are negative, we tend to lose hope. Of course, there’s more to feeling good than just thinking positive. The details of your present reality matter and make a difference, but generally speaking, you’re not going to have a good day today if you’re hell-bent on telling yourself otherwise. The stories we tell ourselves don’t just change how we feel – they actually change……

When necessary, who reminds you who you are?

As they rolled me from recovery into my hospital room, I came more awake. The nurse adjusted the tubes and my pillows. She smiled and asked me how I was feeling. I opened my mouth to answer, and nothing came out. I tried again and again, and nothing came out. Each time the pain felt like more. The nurse responded to the terrified look on my face and gently explained that my vocal chords had been impacted during the surgery. They would need time to heal. But here’s the thing. The week prior to my unexpected surgery, I was sitting……

Want to appear really smart this Sunday?

When you stand before the Father figure in your life next Sunday, wear a huge smile and wrap it in a hug, and say: “Daddy, (Pops, Dad, or Whatever love language you use to talk to your Father), I need to tell how special today is.” In 1910, a Spokane, Washington, woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an official equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. She was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910. Slowly, the holiday spread. In 1916, President Wilson honored the day……

There are some things your mirror cannot show you

Posted on April 26, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

You are not alone. We all have our problems. – To lose sleep worrying about a friend. To have trouble picking yourself up after someone lets you down. To feel like less because someone didn’t love you enough to stay. To be afraid to try something new for fear you’ll fail. None of this means you’re dysfunctional or crazy. It just means you’re human, and that you need a little time to right yourself. You are not alone. No matter how embarrassed or pathetic you feel about your own situation, there are others out there experiencing the same emotions. Pain……

Are you every woman?

Posted on March 14, 2017 by Tyra Garlington • 0 Comments

“Strength has no gender.” “Our history is our strength.” “Writing women back into history.” “Know your history, know your power.” A few reminders that March is Women’s History Month. I encourage you to celebrate today and everyday women everywhere for their strength and resilience and legacies. Women’s History Month had its origins as a national celebration in 1981 when Congress passed Pub. L. 97-28 which authorized and requested the President to proclaim the week beginning March 7, 1982, as “Women’s History Week.” In 1987 after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9 which designated……
