What a Demigod Taught Me
I was very young when I noticed I wasn't a normal student. My spelling skills were subpar, I wasn't able to read as smoothly as my peers, I would mix up words, and numbers would switch places. After months, it was determined that I had dyslexia. Dyslexia, a disorder found in millions of people, is defined as "A learning disorder characterized by difficulty reading."

Mindfulness is all about being in touch with the present world. This is so useful in testing situations, such as; those that are stressful, anger-inducing, anxiety-inducing, or situations in which you cannot describe how you are feeling.

Stress Management
No matter who you are or what you do, stress will always be part of everyone’s life. However, not everyone deals with it the same way. Some people cry, others listen to music, and I take naps. I don’t know the perfect way to deal with stress, but practicing breathing exercises helps a lot too. I personally was never told how to handle stress, it was just something that was never mentioned or really shown in my family.

Aging Is Just a Part of Life
I just turned 61-years-old, and for the most part I don't feel it. I have arthritis in my knees, and some minor aches and pains that tell me I'm getting older as well. At 61-years-old, I have also hit the invisible age wall that tells all employers that I'm too old to hire. People can try to tell me that it doesn't exist, but it does. I'm a military veteran with 20 years management experience, as well as customer service experience. I have a Bachelor's degree and I'm almost done with my Master's. Yet, the only job I have been able to get is a part-time job at minimum wage at Sam's Club Café. I have applied for every job where my experience matches the company's hiring requirements, but all I have received is the standard "thank you for applying; if your experience matches the skill set that fits the position, we will contact you for the next step in the hiring process." I'm still waiting.

Quirky Baby Boomers
Are the good old days gone? I often think about the baby boomers. I am a baby boomer and suddenly find myself at the top of the family ladder. I now sit in the place once reserved for my grandparents and parents. As all of those family members passed on, I have now taken their place, a spot on the ladder of life that I was not ready for, nor especially yearned. I come to realize that each generation has their "Good old days."

Summer Glow Up
When we think of summer, we think about sunny weather, swimming, and for some of us a vacation. We think about tanning on the beach, while drinking a pina colada. For some of us though, summer is just a reminder that you don't fit into bikinis like all the other girls. For some of us, it's a time of sweating to death from the long pants and shirts.

The Essentials of Essential Oils
As most know, essential oils are the coming of age and go head to head with the FDA and leading pharmaceutical companies to try to help individuals with disorders, sickness/ illness, pain, weight loss, etc. With doing so, I advocated myself to help the cause.

Becoming a 'Real Grown-Up'
When I was a young child, I firmly believed that I would reach adulthood at the age of fifteen, and I couldn't wait. I don't know what convinced me of this number—perhaps it was the misrepresentation of teenagers on TV, but I do know that I was absolutely certain of it. Needless to say, when I reached the ripe old age of fifteen, I did not behave nor feel the slightest bit grown-up.
