It’s holiday time again and I wonder if you have started heaping on the expectations of it to be picture perfect? This year it began the day after Halloween. Away went the costumes, the pumpkins and the Halloween candy and out came the candy canes, Christmas trees and the things needed for a wonderful Hanukkah.

Stores began pumping out the holiday carols and shoppers began to get a glazed look in their eyes. The lists come out and the murmuring about having too much to do began. Thanksgiving has barely come and gone and already expectations are running high to create another “perfect” holiday season. The perfect present, the perfect décor and the perfect holiday spread.

Through the years I’ve seen versions of Household Rules printed on posters, mugs and the like. You may know it, here are some of the words:

· If you get it out, put it up.

· If you sleep on it, make it up.

· If you wear it, hang it up.

· If you drop it, pick it up.

· If you dirty it, wash it.

· If you open it, close it.

· If you turn it on, turn it off.

Have you ever thought about the impact of one conversation and how many other people are affected as well? Interested in saving money, I signed up for a coupon-clipping and money saving class and that is where I first heard about Angel Food Ministries, the real connection in that class.

Intrigued with Angel Food Ministries, I felt compelled to share this resource through Linda Jones’ answers to 7 simple questions.

1. What is one thing everyone interested in serving others, saving money and serving God must do?
Be obedient to the Holy Spirit first and foremost. God will lay someone on your heart to help and when you help them, you are blessed in return. Angel Food Ministries is such a wonderful way to do just that!

Part I

Addictive behavior in parents often begets addictive behavior in their offspring. According to Nakken (1988), if a child grows up in a family in which one parent is an addict, the child is likely to develop an addiction. If both parents are addicts, the child’s chances of addiction increases. Subsequently, the generational cycle of addiction continues. When adult children of addicts seek relationships, it is usually with people who are similar. This search doesn’t happen on a conscious level–it is unconscious.

Health & Beauty

We all know that exercise is vitally important to getting in shape and maintaining good health. The common question is, “How to I get started?” Gentle, low impact exercises like walking and stretching are best. If you haven’t tried Yoga it may be just the fit. It is gentle yet challenging, and literally means “balance.” Yoga is not about competing but accepting yourself where you are and finding calmness and self acceptance; the very root of balance and health. Weather you buy a home DVD or join a live class, give yoga a try for your health!

I am somebody who has suffered with depression for the majority of my adult life. I now feel like I have finally emerged victorious and that the depression has been eradicated once and for all. In this article I will be explaining about how I managed to do this.

I think there must be some form of depression gene that runs through my family. Both of my parents are on anti-depressant pills and my sister has also suffered with this form of illness in the past.
