Some travelers view the prospect of being bumped off of an overbooked flight as their worst vacation nightmare. For our family, it’s an opportunity that we are thrilled to take advantage of.

This time of year can be difficult for many who find themselves socially isolated. Social isolation presents itself in many different forms. Many feel isolated due to the fact they have social anxieties; others in the midst of many, feel lonely, isolated, and not included.

A day created to celebrate and express love, Valentine’s Day is an accumulation of all the soft and sweet feelings felt for your partner. An outward display of love is the essential aspect of this holiday, as it was originally a day for secret marriages to be performed.

Love is the most powerful emotion on Earth! It is incredibly complex and deeply layered, and yet, it can be so simple and automatic, we can feel it without much thought. Love can grow and deepen over time or it can seemingly spring upon us in an instant, as when we set eyes on a potential soulmate or a newborn child.

We all know that water is the center to good health. Since we lose water constantly through breathing, sweating and digestion, it is critical to keep our bodies hydrated. Water gives life to the cells, organs and tissues in our body and helps regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions.
