Change Your Bedding, Change Your Sex Life

Even though the title might suggest such, I’m not about to tell you how to salvage a slumping sex life by simply putting fresh sheets on your bed. (Although, if it has been weeks since you changed them, I could see how that might help.) Rather, I’m talking a makeover for your bed. Courtney, you do realize we’re in the midst of recession, right? Weren’t you the one freaking out about it not too long ago and coming up with ways to survive it without spending a lot of cash? Why, what a great memory you have! Yes, in fact … Continue reading →

Caring for Your Spirit and Your Body

One of the most important things that we can do for our health is to find acceptance with ourselves. By this I mean coming to a place where we accept who and what we are and move forward from that point. If we are focused too much on the image that we want to portray to the rest of the world, we will never be satisfied with the way we look or how our bodies perform. Similarly, if we give up because of the condition or physical shape that we are in, we cut ourselves off from improving our health, … Continue reading →

Relationship Advice: You Deserve to Be Happy

A reader recently shared a situation, and closed by asking, “What do I do?” While I could tell people what I think they should do, simply stating what I deem best is not going to resolve the situation; however, I can offer some friendly suggestions that may make it easier to decide how best to proceed. I decided to write this up instead of responding elsewhere, because I hope it may help others in similar situations. Let me start by telling everyone that you deserve to be happy. You’ve heard it before, perhaps numerous times, but don’t just gloss over … Continue reading →

RS/EQ: Ye Ought ‘Not Procrastinate the Day of Your Repentence’

Posted on by

We are already a week into the new year. How are you doing at keeping your New Year’s resolutions? Have you started yet, or are you putting them off until ‘tomorrow’? Some resolutions may not matter, but others may well have eternal consequences. The first Priesthood/Relief Society lesson from “Teachings of the Presidents of the Church” is entitled “To Live With Him Someday.” President Kimball discusses the things we need to do to return home to our Heavenly Father. As I studied the lesson, one of President Kimball’s quotes stood out in my mind. One of the most serious human … Continue reading →

While the physical expression of your love is a part of intimacy, you can be greatly intimate with your spouse and still need to improve the physical side of your relationship. This can happen for a multitude of reasons whether it’s the arrival of a new baby, a change in careers or just that you and your spouse have become very comfortable with your lives and that level of comfort in your choices and physical relationship also diminishes the … Continue reading →

The Benefits of Yoga

With the first week of the New Year underway, many are looking at ways to get fit. In my last couple of blogs I talked about the benefits of cardio and flexibility exercises. In this blog we are going to look at the benefits of yoga. First, you might want to know what exactly yoga is. It originates in India, attributed to the Hindus, as a way to discipline oneself physically, mentally and spiritually. Now because of my religious beliefs, I don’t get into the “spiritual” aspect of it, although for some this may be just what they want. So … Continue reading →
