Ebb
and flow
Jamie

is all about getting to know yourself. Ayurveda,
a traditional system of medicine that began in India more than
5,000 years ago, is a health model that provides the knowledge of

Sweet
dreams
Ringing
in the New Year signals the end of the holidays, but often the
lingering stress from the season-long frenzy leaves us with an
unfortunate side effect — insomnia. |
Cross
to bear
In
the fall of 2001, Milwaukee resident Herbert Raasch was a college
student studying criminal justice. Then came Sept. 11, and his life
was forever transformed. |
Empower
yourself: Happiness is an inside job
Personal
empowerment is not about having power over others, but rather
understanding that you are in charge of your own life. There are many
ways that can be done, but here are five of them.

Balancing
act
Are
you going to the gym more but enjoying it less? If you’re checking
out mentally as you are working out, you may not be getting the full
benefit from the experience. |

Caught in the middle
The leap from elementary to middle school is the beginning of the
most stressful time of their young lives. A new school, new rules, new
friends and trying to fit in; all of these are of paramount importance
to tweens and young teens. |
Inside
the male mind
A woman drags
herself through the door after a long, stress-a-palooza
day at work. "What a day! I am so fed up with that job,"
she tells her husband. His response, generally speaking,
is predictable. "Well, quit," he says. That’s not the
answer she’s looking for, says Barbara Bartlein of Bay
View, psychotherapist and author of "Why Did I Marry You
Anyway?" A woman wants her man to simply lend her an
ear. |

Share the love
The former owner of a family operated manufacturing firm, Peggy Ann
experienced a deeply personal crisis that threatened to leave her in
despair. That’s when her eldest daughter gave her a wake-up call. |

Ain't no mountain
Tom Sabourin climbs mountains, and not just
because, as mountaineer George Mallory said, "They’re
there." Sabourin climbs mountains because Parkinson’s disease
and Alzheimer’s disease are still here. |

Brain power
She’s not out
to create miniature Einsteins or Mozarts, but Deborah McNelis of New
Berlin wants parents to understand the crucial role they play in the
brain development of their children. |
