FOOT MASSAGES

Submitted by ub on

Pamper yourself... Get a foot massage, or give one to your special love. Our feet work hard every day. Especially at this busy time of year for anyone who is shopping, family gatherings and school events. There is plenty of time spent on our feet.

Just like our neck, back, and shoulders, our feet can also benefit from a regular rubdown. Foot massage improves circulation, stimulates muscles, reduces tension, and often eases pain. It also gives a chance to check out our feet so we can get a jump on treating blisters, bunions, corns, and toenail problems.

Colorado Closet Tokers Coming Out Soon

Adult possession/use of cannabis is already legal in both Colorado and Washington. On Jan. 1, 2014 licensed retail sales of cannabis to adults is also permissible in CO. In WA, applicants are still awaiting for a license from state regulators.

Adults who are growing, holding and smoking marijuana to get high have already been acting legally in Colorado for more than year after a state constitutional amendment approved by voters in November 2012.

Before you decide to make new year resolutions, you should consider the odds of achieving them.

Dreaming of dropping one clothing size, learning how to play Cello or speaking Chinese Mandarin.
The following are some statistics to consider. From the nearly half of us who make New Year’s resolutions, about one third will fail after two weeks; 40 percent will fail after one month and 60 percent will fail after six months.

The following are some of the things you may wish to stop and then start taking care of yourself.

WISH FOR HUMANITY

Submitted by ub on

Dear World-

If it isn't too late, let's hope and pray that all people will begin to speak kind words, to be committed to their family and friends, to use their hands for helping and not for hurting,

Let's make an effort to evolve into human beings who laugh with joy and delight and not mockery, who love unconditionally, and who do not resort to bullying others.

Our world faces a formidable hurdle if we want to restore a new and improved climate of trust, peace, goodwill, respect and equality towards all men, women, children and all living things.
