Are you a “Swayer” or “Liberal?”: “Swayer” may be better for your Health

I moved from a conservative area to a more liberal area to (in part) be among a larger population of “my people.”  Generally speaking, I’ve thought of a liberal as being more open-minded until recently. 
 
It seems that some liberal’s are most flexible if you meet certain criteria:

A Scientific Formula for Happiness?

I was watching a morning show in my area called Dr. Oz (November 9, 2009) and he shared a research graph that showed “happiness” being scientifically researched and divided into three parts:

What’s in a wave?

Even as a child I’d always been one for waving at people as I walked by. But as I got older and people didn’t wave back I changed my approach to giving smiling eye contact and a nod as I walked by. (Then, if I didn’t get a little nod back it wouldn’t be quite [...]

Time heals all wounds?

When I gave birth to my first child I was only able to take six weeks maternity leave.  I found a babysitter that adored my daughter, but when I dropped her off on her first day it was one of the most painful days of my life.  When I got into the office I closed [...]
