    Slow Down (It’s Good For You)

    I can’t imagine many boyfriends or girlfriends — or married couples — really enjoying their partner catching a cold or the flu.

    Enough With the Fat Jokes

    Society continues its relentless attack on people who don’t fit some magazine cover photo shoot of rock-hard abs, sexy abs and protein shakes.

    Age Is Just a Number

    Yet, some folks don’t seem to show much concern for how they got to where they are. Instead, they write off the past and look at today only. That’s when mistakes happen. That’s when trouble happens. That’s when we’re unhappy with who we’ve become.
