THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH by Valeria Teles
THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH by Valeria Teles
I went for a run because I had eaten a small, organic dark chocolate cookie the day before and I felt that I had to punish myself. It was habitual for me to punish myself with strenuous, caloric compensation cardio whenever I felt guilt for enjoying life by eating tasty foods. My fitness goals had gone up a notch after I’d placed first in a fitness competition. Winning the competition was one thing, but it was being complimented all the time for my extra lean body that pressured me to stay that way. I couldn’t allow myself look “bigger” again, and “bigger” really meant not seeing my defined ab muscles. Read More

Golden Gremlin: A Vigorous Push from Misanthropes and Geezers by Rod A. Walters
Golden Gremlin is a book of humor told from experience: from those good citizens, either gender, who are old enough to be real misanthropes (persons at peace with their own selves) or geezers (old enough to know better, and pretty much do), or both.

Merry Christmas!
What Do People Do?
Many Canadians have a day off work on December 25 and many spend the day with close relatives or friends. It is customary to exchange gifts, enjoy a special festive meal and, perhaps, attend a special church service. However, some people, particularly in Quebec, do some or all of these things on Christmas Eve as well as, or instead of, on Christmas Day. Read More

The Woman Warrior Writing by Diana Raab, PhD
The Woman Warrior by Diana Raab, PhD
Since an early age, writing has been my panacea when moving through challenging times. My passion began during my childhood when my mother gave me a Khalil Gibran journal to help me cope with the loss of my grandmother and caretaker who died in my childhood home. Since then I have used writing to help me heal. My mission is now to share my passion and teach others to do the same. Read More
Submit Early, Submit Often by Walter Rhein
Submit Early, Submit Often by Walter Rhein
Let’s face it, it’s always a buyer’s market in the writing world. As authors, we are constantly on the lookout for new publishing opportunities, but the markets we approach rarely reserve much courtesy for writers. Some publishers act like once you send them a manuscript it should be theirs until they deign to send you a rejection. That’s fine for the responsible ones that get back to you in a week or two, but for the guys who don’t acknowledge a query for six months to a year, it makes the potential of ever getting published almost impossible. To be fair, there are some publishers out there that encourage you to send out your work early and often, but those are the exception rather than the rule.
