savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 13 Aug 10

We have a new Yoga teacher this week and I swear she has the softest voice for a teacher I've ever not heard. Our Yoga is taught to music and that plus her soft voice placed me in the first row of the class. I have been in this...

jands1 I agree. But I have to ask myself, "Is staying in my comfort zone the best thing, in the long run, for me?" Many times the answer is no. Sometimes we just need to push ourselves a little bit.

jands1 Exactly. For one to claim to be a Veteran to a total stranger, proof is required. Anyone who is really a needy Veteran will have a Veterans Card. This enables them to get medical help via the VA Hospitals. It has a wavy USA flag with bold letters on the top...

jands1 You are most welcome. If he isn't just nervous it may be something deeper such as having been coddled too much up until this point. If so, you and your husband will have to go to all the enablers in his life to see if they can change their behaviour...

Remember the character in this movie? She was into fashion and did her own wardrobe. She ends up using her mom's dress to make her prom dress. Do you have a nack like this? For me it is making money stretch. Do you feel you have a...
