March 22, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 9 Comments

Should you take a vitamin supplement and if so, do you take a multi-vitamin or perhaps just a little extra vitamin C? Is any one vitamin more important than another? And aren’t vitamins for the elderly anyway? Arguments for and against supplements are many; and the decision to take supplements is personal and self-prescribed.  How […]

Looking Back to See Ahead - WellJourn.org

Over dinner on New Year’s Eve, I asked everyone what was their highlight of the year.  Travel seemed to be the top pick as well as adventure.  For my husband and I (we were not allowed to pick our wedding), it was a trip to Belize and our dives that became our highlights. Thinking back […]

The Naughty Month

December 1, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 5 Comments

With the spirit of the holidays infecting us early (after all Christmas decorations were available before Thanksgiving), the chocolate, wine and all things unhealthy begin to seduce us. One may wonder if the month of December isn’t the true test of our good intentions: those resolutions we made at the beginning the year.  Yet, others […]

Time out – not just for kids

October 14, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 5 Comments

GoAnimate.com: The last month and a half was a bit busy and stressful as I worried about school, training for my next marathon, fundraising, and planning my wedding.  The difference is that today: I am less than three days from my marathon, I am five weeks away from my wedding, and I have one less […]

Is Your Diet Making You Sick?

September 2, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 1 Comment

Last weekend I learned my seven year old niece has a white blood cell count that is on the low end of the normal range. I began to wonder why her white blood count (WBC) is different from her younger sister who has healthy numbers according to her mom.  It was then that I started […]

Surprising Vision Myths

August 9, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 1 Comment
