Heart Sick

Strengthening Our Core
January always find gyms crowded with people firmly resolved to get in shape determined to “strengthen the core” (midsection).

The Art of Friendship
Lately I’ve noticed a particular topic frequently mentioned in my social circles and it is the subject of friendship or perhaps the lack thereof.
