Living a Longer Life

September 28, 2012 By WELLJOURN 19 Comments

Helping Kids Eat More Green Stuff

This week my nieces visited for a few days.  I always try to give my sister a break plus I love being able to spend quality time with them.  They are growing up so fast and I still want to get those 5 and 8 year old hugs before they disappear into teenage confusion.  While […]

Tales From The Hive – Honey a New Old Sugar Pill?

August 3, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 17 Comments

It was a sweltering 99 degrees when we pulled into the dirt parking lot.  As much as I wanted to let the dust settle before getting out, I had no choice as sweat began dripping down my right temple. Momentarily blinded by the glaring sun, we quickly walked past the sweeping rows of vines towards […]

Vitamins – To Supplement or Not To Supplement?

March 22, 2012 By Tabitha Paculba 29 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 […]
