Mind, Body, Soul
Time Out For You!
By Mona Lease
Greetings, Gals!! Thanks for your comments to me about how you enjoy my
columns - how they are put together and you wish to see them continue.
When I first started writing - I wanted my columns to be worth your
time to read. I wanted you to find something you can use... or
something you could use to help someone else. If nothing
else...you could find a chuckle and know we are all working for the
"legal tender" and experiencing the same things - pain, loss, anxiety,
and joy. Your comments tell me the column is doing it's job. That being
said and since this column is directed at the gals (guys, I don't care
if you read it...don't get embarrassed or be put out...we're just
trying to get this "woman thing" on a roll):
