Perfect Balance

by Scotland Willis

Balance is something we strive for in our life. We see it in how we try to manage work and our

personal life; balance between consumption and preserving the environment; balancing disruptions and getting tasks done; and in our personal health versus stress. The list is extensive. By and large balance is a very difficult goal to achieve; this assertion could be made anywhere in the world.

So here is something to consider about balance you may not have thought of; 1) the most important balance in our body is pH balance; while that may sound simple, achieving it is like trying to balance yourself on a tightrope (ok perhaps not that difficult but it might seem that way) but certainly as challenging to achieve balance in other areas of our life; 2) alkaline and acids make up these two very important chemical that represent this balance, which also influence many other activities that occur in our body.

A bit more understanding migh make you more conscious about your eating decisions and thereby resulting in a happier healthier you.

Ringgold Park Granite or Green

the Unbearable Lightness of Byron

We have our beach back! The tourists and teens are gone, very gone. The beach is empty. To windy for all but the hardiest wind surfers - is that you Senator Kerry - and the local dog walkers.

Byron loves the beach, he enjoys digging in the sand, barking at the seagulls, and rolling in all those smelly things the ocean specializes in throwing on to the beach. Our beach...

Why I will never stop writing

Well, I guess word got out that I was accepted by The Boston Globe Sunday Magazine. I guess it got out, because I got signed up for a new porn web site. I also received an email saying I had ordered a book, the “American Encyclopedia” and needed to send my pay pal information to pay for it. I ordered no such book. Oh, and I got the report back on the trace which had been put on my phone. Guess what, I do not recognize the number, but it's a Newton number. Now I don't really know anyone in Newton. Well I know of someone - how did she put it, on the periphery.

I don't know what to do here. Do I try to get him to see the proof and understand what is going on? Or do I just give up, and realize that the simple fact that this has been going on for so long it, can only prove he is just as responsible for the harassment as she is.
