Getting Fit the Easy Way

by Christine Cronau          

While it is true that many people aren’t moving enough, and a sedentary lifestyle isn’t recommended, those who are moving are often working too hard.  We were designed to have balance.  Our ancestors were active and moved regularly; however, most of their movement was slow, unless they happened to be chasing prey.

How Assumptions Influence Our Behavior

by Meredith Bell

Recently we had a strong storm pass through southeast Virginia. I was a little concerned about the road to my house while I was driving home from work. You see, that road has a low spot; and a rainstorm can cause flooding during high tide. Now when I say flooding, I don’t mean that cars are swept away. But water can cover the road at times like this.

Congratulations!
