Well a porn site came up, and wh...

10 Tips that Will Change How You Look and Feel About Beauty

March 9, 2010

Face it: there is no magic solution to aging with grace and dignity. Having just written a book offering guidance to millions of women who feel trapped by conflicting feelings, we think we are on to something. We have found satisfying, long term solutions that help us deal with a culture that virtually programs women to have a crisis over their aging appearance. We were once professional models, so we were made acutely aware how quickly a premium on physical beauty can fade with age. It took hard work and time, but we learned the secret of how to enjoy our changing appearance. Now we are therapists treating hundreds of women who may be fulfilled and evolved in many ways, but are still having difficulty coming to terms with the lines of time. Here are some great psychological tips we tell women to “think” about that help them change the way they “feel” and “look.” They worked for us. They can work for you!…More

March 8, 2010

Every woman remembers the moment she found out she was pregnant. Whether it’s the moment you barfed all over the kitchen floor and promptly thought, “Mmmm, an ice cream sandwich would make me feel better… wait a minute! This doesn’t feel like the stomach flu, maybe I’m? Could it be that I’m…?” or maybe you were waiting for a visit from good old Aunt Flo (seriously, do people call it that any more?) and she was late, way late and you realized, “Punctuality isn’t the problem…”. Once you’ve come to those realizations you do one of a few things, you leave it, in complete denial until you can’t ignore the signs any more, you run to the drugstore purchase a pregnancy test and then check it every 5 seconds until you’re way past the 2 minute waiting period or you shuffle on down to your doctor and let them do the tough stuff….More

Hannah's Take: Starting a Family Conversation

March 7, 2010

Many people tell me they can’t believe how much my family talks about issues. This can be especially shocking for people who often know my silly side. But for my family, dinnertime brings us together during crazy weeks filled with school and sports and work. Even if your family is rarely together during the week because of conflicting schedules, make sure to have meals or time together over the weekend. Then the trick is to find something that every member can have an interest in….More
