by Beth Rosenshein About a year ago, I went to a medical conference in Chicago. During a break, a group of us started a discussion about how much the personality of each of our mothers had changed since starting treatment for menopause. Each doctor shared in a different way how nice it was to have their mother's personality back. Some said their mothers didn't notice a difference but they did! Some said their mothers... 1/28/2009 6:37:36 AM
by Robert P. Chang, D.O. Flexibility is a virtue that produces many benefits. I have found that being a flexible person has allowed me to access more opportunities. People are more inclined to ask me to do things because they know I'm more likely to say yes when I'm able. Being flexible has also helped me to weather rough relationships. In potentially conflictual situations, I don't put myself in the rigid position of thinking... 1/25/2009 1:38:20 PM
by Robert P. Chang, D.O. Are there days when you just don't feel well? You don't know why you don't feel well, but you just don't. There may be some psychological reasons why you feel bad. It's hard for you to know or to decipher. What do you do? When I find myself feeling negative, for known or unknown reasons, I assess my inner thoughts. I try to find out if I have any negative thoughts, such as "Life is not fair", "I'm... 1/25/2009 1:36:58 PM
by Robert P. Chang, D.O. Have you ever been in a position in which you are backed to a corner by powerful forces that are out of your control? You tried to do everything right. You work hard at putting the parts together. But somehow at the end, you are stuck. You live the life that you don't want to live, but you can not get out of it. Your choices from the past have caused you to own the reality of the current situation... 1/25/2009 1:35:42 PM
by Beth Rosenshein When Oprah started advertising her show on menopause my phone started ringing and my email started filling up. The reason was twofold. First, it was good to hear that Oprah would be talking about such an important topic and many people wanted to let me know about the show. Second, it was to ask if I would be part of the show because the title of my newsletters, "Let's start the conversation," was being... 1/17/2009 10:46:36 PM
by Chick Moorman, Tom Haller In 2009 I resolve to stop yelling at my kids. That is precisely the New Year's pledge that Marion Budnick broke the first week of the new year. It wasn't that she didn't have positive intentions. It wasn't that she didn't want to end the yelling. It wasn't even that she wasn't sincere about her goal. All of those were firmly in place. Yet something else was missing. Marion Budnick sincerely wanted... 1/13/2009 9:19:48 PM
by Paul Friedman There is a really cool story about a guy in heaven who went to visit an old friend of his who, unfortunately, landed in hell. He was completely surprised to find that the underworld had all the amenities you would expect to find in a great leisure community. His friend was so happy to see him. He took him all around and gave him a really nice tour. When it was time for lunch they went to the community... 1/9/2009 11:34:06 AM
by Paul Friedman I've always found it rather fascinating how different God made women from men. And to be perfectly honest with you, I love the differences! I would say 99% of all women who I ask would never want to be a man. And guess what? 99% of all men that I ask would never want to be a woman! We love each other, we admire each other, and we scare each other half to death. And for this reason I have decided to... 1/9/2009 11:33:41 AM
by Paul Friedman It would be awesome if there was such a thing as a relationship doctor. You know, "Hey doc, I just had a fight with my husband and I'm feeling really low." "No problem Marjorie, you don't even have to come in. I'll call the pharmacy and your prescription will be waiting for you." But let's face it when it comes to relationships, it's much easier to not break something if you can help it. It's much... 1/9/2009 11:33:25 AM
by Paul Friedman For a lot of people the term "happy marriage" has become an oxymoron. Even when I was a kid, we were listening to jokes on TV that made marriage seem like a battlefield instead of a refuge of peace in a battlefield world. The truth of the matter is that ignorance reigned. While studies were being done on everything from tooth aches in chimpanzees to the fiber content of carrots, the institution of... 1/9/2009 11:32:54 AM
