High blood pressure is something that I have had to deal with the last year or so.  I never really had any issues with it, (except when I was pregnant) until this last year.  I have and continue to take medication, which I do not like.  I found an article about Naturally Reversing High Blood Pressure and I am definitely going to give it a shot.  Some of the things that can attribute to high blood pressure can be controlled, for example weight management, drinking, and eating right.  There are other factors that attribute to high blood pressure but read the article about Naturally Reversing High Blood Pressure and it will help you tremendously.

Well, it's been a long time since I've posted.  I did participate in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in October.  I did just walk though, I am no runner.  It was an experience and I won't be repeating because that is way too many people in one place.  There were about 45,000 people in downtown Little Rock.  I was really surprised afterwards at the grand marshal of the parade.  She was 13 and had a rare form of breast cancer.  I didn't realize that someone so young could get breast cancer.  I mean I know I see the stories and pictures of children and cancer but it just never really hits you until you actually see it for yourself.  My word these are only kids.  I will support the Susan G. Komen Race financially but I don't think I'll walk again.  I think I am going to look at supporting something to do with kids, like St. Jude's or Arkansas Children's Hospital.  I think we should all do some form of work or donate to a charity.  I think we were put on this earth to help each other.  Children are not able to help themselves and it’s so difficult for them to understand what is happening to them.  Of course it’s difficult sometimes to understand as adults.  It’s times like that we rely on our faith.

I have a boss that hunts a lot during the season but I've never heard him talk about Hunting Badger and when I found this article I thought maybe I could send it to him, however Hunting Badger is a novel and I'm glad for the confusion on my part because I plan to check the library for this book.  The story is actually based on a real-life homicide case that happened in 1998 in Colorado.  It's also a dedication to the law enforcement that have lost their life in the line of duty.  Read the article about Hunting Badger and let me know what you think.

I’ve always wanted to volunteer for something or get involved with some sort of organization and this year I am going to ‘walk’ in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Little Rock, on Oct 17^th.  We have to be there bright and early and the weather is going to be really nice and chilly.  I am so looking forward to Saturday and have decided to make it a yearly event for me.  I have talked my daughter into going and we are trying to talk my son’s girlfriend into participating.  I have my t-shirt and I’m ready to go.  I have also decided that I am going to get involved in the Toys for Tots this year as well.  I am going to have to do some research on this before the holidays get here.  I use to try to ‘pick’ an angel off the tree at Wal-Mart every year and for a few years I stopped but last year I did and when I went back in to take the items I had purchased, I was saddened because I have always felt so bad that I could only select one and there were so many.  The lady at customer service told me that if no one picks an angel that Wal-Mart ‘covers’ it.  Or in other words, the only person that I did my good deed for was me and God.  I guess that’s reason enough and don’t get me wrong, I am grateful that Wal-Mart does that, I just didn’t feel like I had really done anything.  But it’s the thought that counts.

A lot of people start exercising and weight training without any knowledge of the process.  I found an article called Helpful Hints for Weight Training and found some really valuable information.  If you are just starting a weight training regimen and like me can't afford a professional trainer, then this information will be very helpful to you.  It gives very good advice like consulting a doctor before start and that your weight level will depend on your fitness level.  In the article it also tells you what's the difference between weight training and body building.  If you are considering this form of exercise, check out Helpful Hints for Weight Training.
