He listed them off, one by one, there were five total. He asked Caroline what he should do, how could he possibly know which one would be the right one, the best one, when he wasn’t even sure of his direction.ARTArticleDrive a Stake through the Heart of Your Vampire ThinkingThis is the third in a series of articles that focuses on a new concept I recently conceived of called Vampire Thinking©.

Walking had helped, but when I began running, my mood spiked up in a way that made me realize it hadn’t been enough. I ran my one and only 5K at the completion of the program and then promptly went back to walking.ARTArticleMen and Eating DisordersEating disorders in men are more common than people think. Unfortunately, they often go undiagnosed for many years if diagnosed at all.

The fact is that many men suffer with eating disorders yet we as a society tend to normalize the behavior and it is never addressed as an issue.ARTArticleParents Can Benefit from Anger Management Classes Too!Anyone with children knows how hard it can be raising kids.
