Once upon a time I was needle phobic.  Then I got pregnant and had to have blood drawn to protect my unborn baby so I put my big girl pants on and had it done.  Imagine at 20 years old being checked for syphilis now that’s gross but it was standard procedure.  Just for the [...]

Have you ever had to make a decision and found yourself weighing the pros and cons?  Should you break up with your boyfriend or buy that house?  I can remember making lists to try and make the best decision. The truth is you already know what to do.  Somewhere in the core of your being [...]
