“If you are trying to find ways to lead a more fulfilled life, at some point the spotlight of your attention will fall on your various relationships - with family, lovers, friends and colleagues,” stated Take Control of Your Life, one of the series in Time-Life Books.

Relationship can bring great pleasure and satisfaction where they work and unhappiness when they don’t. While some bless the day they meet their partners, others curse the day. Understanding when your relationships are working well and taking steps to improve them when they are not is an important way of taking control of your life.

Building Better Bones

Building Better Bones

Author: Susun Weed

“It is a bone-deep change you are going into, my beloved,” counsels Grandmother Growth. “You must open to your very marrow for this transformation. No cell is to remain untouched. You are to open more than you ever dreamed you could open, more than you have opened in birth or in passion. You open now to the breath of mortality as it plays the bone flute of your being. What can you do but dance to the haunting melody, develop a passion for an elegant posture and a long stride?

Suicide Prevention: 12 Universal Laws

Suicide Prevention: 12 Universal Laws

Author:Jeff Herring

The Law of Permanence

Suicide is always a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Always. Even if it doesn’t look or feel temporary, it is. Also, you don’t get to come back. You don’t get to see how many people attend your funeral. It’s permanent.

The Law of Hope

There is always hope, if you are alive. You just have to look for it.

The Law of Seriousness

Always, always take any threat, mention, or even veiled comment about suicide very seriously. Even if you really think it’s just drama or manipulation. Why? Because if you are wrong, the margin for error is zero.

Menaces of winter: Protect your child against influenza

Coughs, colds, and chest infections are common in all age groups during the winter months. The respiratory syncytial virus, commonly known as RSV, is the most frequent cause of respiratory infection in infants and young children. Almost all children have been infected with RSV by two years of age.

Many other viruses cause infections of the nose, throat, windpipe, and lungs in infants and children. These include rhinoviruses, influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and adenoviruses. The measles and chickenpox viruses may also cause respiratory infections in young children. These viruses can cause severe chest infections in malnourished children and in children with poorly functioning immune systems.

Winter Cycling

Winter Cycling

As a web site that advocates cycling as a normal means of transportation, we would be remiss if we ignored the fact that in the major part of North America there is this little inconvenience called WINTER.

The vast majority of cyclists hang up their steeds as soon as it turns cold enough that shorts are uncomfortably cool. Most of the remaining put the bike on hooks in the garage after a month or so of riding in long tights. The first hint of frost marks the end of the cycling “season”.

Peace in the Heart

Peace in the Heart

By Michel Danielson

What do we need? I mean, really need? What do we ask for? I mean, really ask? What is more important than money, than power, than success? What is our deepest desire?

I heard many answers. We need health, of course. We need love, certainly. We need circumstances to realize our potentials and our abilities, positively.

But, what we need above all? It’s peace in the heart.

We can have a lot of things, we can achieve a lot of goals but without peace in the heart, we have nothing, we did nothing.

New developments in the prevention of pneumococcal infections were also discussed.

The 140 attendees included paediatricians, family physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, and public health nurses from within the greater Toronto area and beyond.
