isn't that a new sociallly acceptable term to glitz it up? Chelsea does add alot to Hillary's campaign. Look it up in the urban and suburban dictionary. As a parent of a teenager I have been educated as to the acceptance of such a term.."pimp". Now in my days....yes it meant....well we all know. Recently there was a television show about it pimping cars....making them look snazzy. "It doesn't mean what you think it means", is the typical response you can hear from todays teenager. Daniel Webster is no longer alive, and I'm not sure how much chrome they had in his days. I would though like the sensitivity factor be such that we are talking about inanimate objects.
When we use the word in association of wonderful people it can get confusing. So....can we decide what we want to use it for? Or, do we just throw it out there and hope that the "good" meaning of it will always prevail. The anchors comment ..... I must think of the good first. Maybe he just watched a rerun of the television show that talks about pimping our lives. Hmmmm. As my 21 year old son says.....no matter which way it is...it isn't a flattering term. SO, Mr. Anchorman, I would apologize and hope that the Clinton family will continue to smile with their success. What does this have to do with wellness? "What you think is what you say. What you say is what you do. What you do is who your are. Who you are is your destiny. Every day, think your way to your destiny." Deanette Schmidt. Are your words the way you want to look like? Go and make a bright and prosperous future for yourself. You deserve it.

HEALTH-N-A-MINUTE
February is traditionaly heart month. We think of our physical heart most often when we think of heart health. I trust that all of your regularly have our cholesterol and blood pressure checked. What about the other part of your heart, the unseen? There was a commercial on the Super Bowl that showed a woman at her computer and suddenly her heart burst out her chest leaving a hole and a tattered shirt. Her physical heart landed on the keypad! Suddenly, it sprouted legs and jumped off her desk and ran to her boss's office. There it jumped up on his desk with a sign reading "I Quit". Jumping down and running away the caption read..."Follow Your Heart". What an incredible depiction of a "healthy heart," the unseen part. What does your heart of hearts feel and do? Are you following your dreams, your deepest heart's desire? What makes your heart beat with a rhythm that only you can dance to? Take a moment in the quiet...take a minute each day. Listen to the beating of your heart of hearts...then take your ind, take your spirit, and take your body to dance into action. Come to the quiet and you willhear wht your heart is speaking. Feel the love it has for you.
