Every October I start the month by preaching the importance of getting a mammogram. As you know, I found my 3 breast cancers through mammograms so I am once again imploring you to get your checkups. Now we’ve discovered it a fourth time by a bone scan. I start...

I was in Punta Cana last week and you can’t imagine all the people sunning themselves by the pools. Young, old, male, female, lots of kids……and all a golden brown. They looked great, but it’s the wrong thing to do. There is no doubt...

I had some interesting comments from last week’s post. More women than ever are concerned about the health of their mates. And unfortunately, it is up to us to make sure our “men folk” are taking care of themselves. The other cancer I want to talk...

by Gayle Carson… As you know this is Breast Cancer Awareness month. However, this past week Ben Stiller was on TV talking about the fact that he had prostate cancer two years ago. He was freaked out (as he should have been) but I was surprised that a person who...

I’m taking some liberty with this because it’s the theme of my new resource. But here is a quote from one of my mentors Dan Kennedy. “The only real security you’ll ever have is your personal ability to produce. If you can’t, or won’t, put a fortress around...

Are you getting enough sleep? It seems all the literature I’ve been reading this past month says we aren’t getting and what we are getting is fitful and not at all peaceful. Then there was an additional study as to whether you should sleep with your...
