I’ve just registered a few domain names so I can start up a women’s health- and fitness-related website. I’ll post the domain names once there’s something up on them. In the meantime, I’ll recommend that you get a copy of this book from Amazon:

Jeremy tells an amazing story and provides excellent information about adopting a healthy lifestyle. Just take a look at the cover!

While I’m on the topic of transformations … Here’s another book you’ll want to get your hands on:

Another great story and helpful guide to getting the most out of life.

I’m in a book club. Yesterday we got onto the topic of personality tests. One of the ladies brought up the Myers-Briggs test. Today I got a link from another one of the ladies and took one of the tests.

Today my horoscope said this:

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t get depressed about what you can’t change. Today is about communication and clearing up anything that has been bothering you. A change at home will be good for you. 4 stars

I don’t put much stock in horoscopes, but it’s something to read. The interesting thing about this one is that today is the anniversary of my mom’s death (32 years). That’s something I can’t change and something I should not get depressed about. It’s better to remember and celebrate her life than to cry over her death. Especially after all these years. The first thing I’m going to do is go out for a walk. The gray from earlier this morning has burned off and it’s sunny, but cool, outside.

Not everyone wants to take medication when they’re depressed. For many, it isn’t even necessary. But if you do need to take medication, you need to work with your doctor very closely.

I’ll write more here soon.
