4:45 a.m. It's early morning...way too early for me, but I couldn't sleep. So I wandered onto AR to look for new groups to join and found the Active Rain Block Party. I love a good party, so I joined. That's when I spotted the contest about AR success stories. I've never entered a contest on AR b

This roller coaster year is finally coming to an end and in these quiet days I'm left wondering about where we all go from here. What have we learned? What will we take with us in the year ahead, and what will we leave behind? How has this year changed our core beliefs about ourselves, our busine

It's been a tough year and we've all had to make choices about how we spend our time and our money. Eveyone I know is cutting back in ways they never thought of before. But please, don't cut back on your health. When money is tight, it's so easy to put off those important annual screenings...the

So last night we went to a friend's house for a little holiday party. They live about an hour east of us in a golf course community. On this night, our drive home turned out to be yet another reminder of why we love living here. We were only 5 minutes from our friends' home when we came around a
