Introspective Sunday: What Is My Purpose? Ooh...this is a loaded question and is likely one of the most important ones you can ever ask yourself. With various shoes to fill, women can become extremely busy meeting the needs of others; even though we willingly enter into many different ventures, tasks and jobs, are we truly fulfilling our life purposes within the mayhem?

Hi, Ladies! I need to be very brief today. I am helping a good friend with a big grand opening of her swanky salon. Between the shopping, decorating, getting my hair done, taking care of the Missy Moo (toddler girl), I am spread a little thin today. So, I wanted to share one short thing that makes me feel fortunate this fine Friday morning.

If your household runs anything like mine, then every time you turn around someone (I won't name names, but HE is a man, maybe the father of your offspring) sabotages your efforts to promote a healthful lifestyle. It's one thing if they want to pollute their own bodies with the likes of Doritos, Bugles, and soda, but back away from the kids; and keep that tempting snack parade out of our sight!

Introspective Sunday: Am I selfish? There is one problem with this question...that is if you actually are selfish. Most people who are self-centered won't even entertain the thought that they have "it's all about me" syndrome, at least until they have a revelation.

Today I want to talk to you about products- the ones that help us reach our health potential. Recently, I have been getting into organic personal care products and some natural therapies, especially in the aromatherapy category. To some the thought of getting healthy because of some scent is preposterous at best.

Have you ever dined out and had the server plop a plate of food down in front of you that could feed a football team? We are constantly bombarded with food portions that are WAY out of line with those that we should be eating. The key here is knowledge.

Women's Life Link would like to introduce, Shelley Henley. A mom, business owner, and woman of wisdom, she is a new friend and someone whom we feel you should get to know better. We met via the web when I requested a trial sample of some of her wonderful, organic personal care products.

All of us have a joyful girl inside...somewhere. Strangely, the simplest of things can bring her out. Recently, I had the opportunity to try some new organic body sprays by Joyful Girls Naturals. I had no idea how they would feel on or how they would smell mingled with my own unique scent.

Wellness Wednesday: You tell us. Today, I pose the question: Why do you want to be healthy? It is a known fact that if you don't have a good enough reason to do something, one that motivates through the hard stuff, you won't do it. So, I ask you to share your thoughts about this important subject.

In general woman seem to hold the purse strings when it comes to the family food budget, just as they primarily make the food choices. You may have noticed it a little more difficult to afford feeding your family lately, especially if you want healthy, organic food on your table.

Alex Wrekk started roasting her own coffee in 2005 for herself. It wasn't long until those around her took notice of her obvious gift for making a mean bean that could stand up to the best out there. Living in the Northwest, Alex knows the competition well.

Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know about a terrific women's online magazine called Time Finders. I have just joined the magazine as a new contributing author. If you get a chance, please check out this wonderful publication and my first article, Autumn: A Sentimental Journey. Let me know what you think of it.

As an Esthetician, I specialize in skincare of the face - the first thing other people notice when they meet you. Want to know what gets noticed second?

For some making friends (and keeping them) comes easily, and for others it seems to be a daunting chore that never seems to happen. Today, I was thinking about all of the people in my life whom I consider to be my friends, how we met, and how we continue to grow (or not) in our relationships. Have I been a good friend? Yes and no...nobody is perfect.

Do you ever feel like you are more healthy in one area of your life than you've ever been, and yet, another area is in the gutter? I'm kind of there right now. Let me explain.
