“The clothes make the man” is a phrase that has been in existence for centuries. It appears in diverse places as Latin writings by Erasmus in the 1500s, literary greats Shakespeare and Mark Twain and even 20th century movie titles.

Is it true? Are we ultimately judged by our appearances or is there something deeper that serves as a more meaningful measuring stick? Fashion changes radically by season, let alone many generations.

Chiropractic corrects old trauma – the kind that comes from dramatic accidents like car crashes, falls, crushing football hits – and also, the kind that occurs daily in modern life. From our post-modern lifestyle of mobile phones, long commutes, and e-sports marathons.

Growing up, most adults today took many a tip from the most peaceful man in show business, Mr. Fred Rogers. Mr. Rogers was famous for his kind and gentle mannerisms, his soft voice, and even more so his mild-mannered attire. What better person to be the Maitre d’ of story time for young ones for generations – 31 years of television, to be precise.

Life itself is a miracle. It affects us the way other things can’t – a warm puppy, a newborn baby, a miraculous recovery. The joy of something wonderful occurring that brings new hope and optimism to life.

A key aspect of a miracle is that it is beyond our control. Something that we were not consciously responsible for heightens the power of something sudden, wonderful and unexpected.

American servicemen and women face serious danger and death as a part of the daily routine. On the front lines or not, there is substantial stress in the job of providing defense for the nation.

Despite the powerful images they leave in our minds, combat injuries are not the most common cause of harm in the armed forces.

Here is the solution to understanding an ever-more common anxiety-causing malady. And how the key to solving it is getting two things – knowing what it takes to get healthy – and the power of understanding how to choose the quickest line at the grocery store.

Has anyone told you you don’t need permission to be a superhero? Or that you don’t need someone to tell you it’s okay to help other people? There are some amazing stories of people that decided they didn’t want to wait to help the people around them that needed help. These were people that didn’t have advanced degrees or complicated certifications. What they did have was the sense of action and an overwhelming urgency to start making changes in the world around them.

Your health can protect you from the over-commercialization of the holidays. More and more, we hear about how the holidays have turned into something different than what they used to be. Instead of the “true” meaning of Christmas and other holidays they have become about consumerization. Buying and selling and big online sales, they had taken over the season.

Imagine a scene for a moment.  There are two people up ahead of you, partially in the darkness. You can only see their outlines.  The silhouette of one looks vibrant and upright, ready for action.  Like someone you would hope to know someday.  Not necessarily young, but active, experienced, and full of life.  Like they have lived and lived well and been better off for it.

It’s a classic phrase by Rene Descartes – one that is instantly recognizable. And it comes from a totally unrecognizable world – 1637.

Yet it is still true today. Descartes’ attempt to get to the very bedrock of what he was as a human being is worth looking at as we turn over into the new year. Especially as we examine the beginning of something new – a time when discussions turn to the entire idea of new, and what the idea of new creates – the vision of new possibilities.
