Iron Deficiency Anemia— why your muscles don’t grow
For all of my childhood, I have been skinny. I never really knew why that was. I ate plenty of all types of healthy foods grown in our gardens. I was very much physically active and did a lot of exercises (used to do 300 sit-ups a day). However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t gain mass. Even when I started going to the gym for months at a time, my muscles would get better toned but they never grew. I believe it was my 1st year of college when someone suggested I had Iron Deficiency Anemia. This condition prevented me from having the physical conditioning and looks I dreamt of. I was completely set up on getting rid of it.

Hardship during childhood brings up champions
Not every person is blessed with a good childhood or a great family. Some people have a really rough start in life. That is true everywhere in the world, from the most civilized countries to the least. However, the universe has a way of giving when it takes, so the people who had a rough start usually have some very rare qualities later on. You might even be one of those people.

Learning to Let Go
When I was younger I was a ball of fire, always ready to get into the argument and state my opinion, even if it wasn't popular. In my relationships, I would get upset and state my mind, in detail, and one time I got so mad at my husband I slammed the cupboard door until it banged closed, open, and closed again. I was angry and everybody knew it.

Female Volcels: a Year's Reflection
Nearly a year ago I wrote a blog about female Volcels. At that time, my focus was on myself, and how I had chosen to become voluntarily celibate because I wanted to go through a period of self-reflection; to introspect upon my thoughts and feelings, who I was, and who I wanted to be as it related to what I was going through at that time.

Why being single is best
We live in a modern age where just about anything goes. Marriage has become unnecessary but sometimes advantageous or wanted. There are more people than ever having children outside of marriage or choosing to live alone and not have children at all. The good news is that we have a lot of different options available to us when we are choosing which lifestyle is best for us, the bad news is that some people blindly do what a lover wants or what they see their family and friends do, without wondering or finding out if a different lifestyle is better for them.
