The beauty of a woman isn't in the clothes she wears, The figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes; Because that's the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman isn't in a facial mole; But true beauty in a woman, is reflected by her soul. It's the caring that she cares to give, the passion that she shows; And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows.(Unknown)

A light dinner about two hours before bedtime can help you sleep more soundly. Stop concentrating on the laundry list of concerns in your head and focus on your breath. Deep and slow or short and shallow, the sound…
