January 3, 2014

Does your ZIP code determine your kid's #asthma risk? How poverty drives up asthma rates. Roaches, mice, mold, air pollution, etc., can all trigger attacks. #blackpeople #health http://ow.ly/sfEjL

ABOUT MY BLOG...

From time to time, I write, rant and video blog about a variety of health and wellness related topics, which include one's spiritual, mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

I'm particularly -- although not exclusively -- interested in these topics as they impact women and African Americans, since the mainstream media doesn't cover either effectively.

I believe that having the opportunity to fulfill your potential is an important aspect of health. For that reason I write about human development, also broadly conceived -- whether it relates to raising and educating Black children, enjoying and accepting the aging process (check out my 49 Going on 50 posts) or finding your spiritual Purpose or following your Calling.

I have found my lane in life and assist and encourage others to discover theirs. Many of my posts relate to these topics.
