Anyone got any tips for constipation, natural remedies??
I was just wondering what people have tried out there to help with constipation. This isn't for me, just thought it would be something to ask in case of anyone out there having that problem. I know I have tried prunes in the past but that really hurt my tummy. I had four c-sections and it really hurt my scar area. I know…

Sitting down…

I don't know if you are aware of this but in the Indian tradition ( in India), the women of the house gather together and decide on a time of prayer (not Christian) for their husbands. On that first day they get their tradition offerings and light a candle and circle it around their husbands (facing them, bringing their…

Blogs
Some of the blogs out there can actually make you take a good hard look at yourself. I have learned a lot from some people, especially from a man of faith who beat congenial heart failure and has cancer. Feel free to check out my blog anytime. Oh this guy I'm talking about has brought me to tears on more than one occasion.
