The word “arthritis” gets thrown around a lot, but most people have no idea what it is or what causes it. There are two major subcategories of arthritis, and each one develops differently. Osteoarthritis (OA) Osteoarthritis, or what we might call “wear and tear” is much more common and affects millions of Americans. The...
In our modern society we are bombarded with information, emails, texts, tasks, to-do’s, checklists, requests, have-to’s, should-do’s, and ought-to’s at an unrelenting pace (your heart rate probably just went up simply by reading that last line.)

Many people we declare as “successes” have faced great challenges growing up, and many of us who had the average upbringing see that as something that allowed those people to step into greatness…something we don’t have. We may not have a rags-to-riches inspiring story to tell the world, but we do have a hindrance...
One needn’t research for long in order to build a significant list of parallels that exist between a human being and the endless array of mechanical devices which serve us on a day-to-day basis.
