Today's Christian Woman, Sept/Oct 2005
Wildfire! Would my home--and my husband--survive?

It seemed all of Southern California was burning, with major fires in San Diego, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. Looking toward our mountain home, I had a front-row seat to the devastation. A serpentine trail of fire lit the summit.  And somewhere in the midst of it was my husband. Read excerpt.

Etiquette Check: Just say no to unwanted comments and belly pats

Ask any pregnant woman and she'll confirm it: A protruding belly blasts away social barriers regarding touch, advice and sharing. Just because it's a known pregnancy fact doesn't mean you have to accept unwanted attention. Nor do you have to come across like a hormonally charged crazy woman to protect your personal space. You're entitled to set boundaries. Here are some tips to help you make it through these 40 weeks with grace. Read excerpt.

Summertime and the eating is easy
 

Summer's here and with it comes picnics and barbecues filled with high-fat, calorie-charged foods such as hamburgers and potato salad. But don't cancel your social invitations just yet. The season also brings a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables that, combined with mindful eating, offer delicious outdoor dining alternatives that boost your nutrition, not your waistline.

Can You Hear Me Now?
 

When it comes to communication, the male gender is a perplexing beast. His eyes glaze over as you recount the details of your latest work project. He will abruptly look up and say something totally unrelated like, "I love you" when you've just told him your car needs a new transmission. But mention sex or his favorite sports team and you have his undivided attention. So you conclude--incorrectly--that he's a selective listener, only interested in certain topics. Yet the problem lies not with your subject material but your delivery... Read excerpt.  Available for reprint.

Are You for Real?

Pop quiz time. You're at your favorite watering hole and the group is discussing popular music, when someone says that opera is reserved for closet-dwelling geeks who can't keep a beat on the dance floor. Do you pipe up and confess that the score from La Boheme stirs your soul? Or, do you hover silently over your cocktail only to later sob over your Pavarotti collection? If you chose silence and sobbing, you may be trading the joy of an authentic life for the drudgery of living someone else's idea of what your life should be... Read excerpt.  Available for reprint.

Trim Down Your Fat Cat

When Smokey reached 25 pounds, his owner Tracy Sullivan realized he needed help. Always a large cat, the 14-year-old tabby packed on the excess weight following the death of his littermate six years ago. "Maybe it was boredom or maybe he was sad," says Sullivan of Ithaca, N.Y., "but he started to eat all the time... Read excerpt. Available for reprint.

Pregnancy Magazine, December 2004
Facing Your Fears

In the middle of my second trimester, the joy of pregnancy was quickly overshadowed by the fear of childbirth. Caused in part by anxiety over the unknown, it was amplified by other's horror stories of marathon labor, unbearable pain and babies lost through unexpected complications. Although I felt alone in my dread of Birth Day, I soon learned that others shared the same concerns. A Finland study of 329 pregnant women found that 78 percent had fears related to pregnancy...
