At a time when the world appears to be falling apart at the seams, where can we seek solace? How did we end up here? How do we get out of it?

What does the Bible and Koran offer us? Have they had their time?

I ask because these religions have been around quite a long time. They have been used as a source of belief, guidance and indoctrination for centuries and look where we are.

If religion was so great, why doesn't it work for all of man kind rather than a select few?

I am not a religious person, but I do feel a certain spirituality in trying to come to terms with my part in the universe. I do not believe them to be one and the same. We are where we are because we have lost touch with where we came from; this Earth. Our only home. It can be our only true context. It's as simple as that.

Parents with poor reading and writing skills will be offered “family learning” classes before their children start school under a new government scheme. The government also wants local authorities to run information sessions for parents whose children are entering school, to help them understand the challenges children will face, and to encourage parents to get involved with their child’s education.

Education secretary Alan Johnson said “One of the most important things a parent can do to boost the educational chances of their children is to read to them. simple yes – but in a busy world it doesn’t happen often enough”. Mr Johnson also announced that next year would be “National Year of Reading”.

If you are a parent and in financial trouble then you may not be spending as much time with your kids as you would like because of the need to bring home as much income as possible.

A quarter of you are worried about neglecting financial security, the survey by Scottish Widows found. You may find an individual voluntary arrangement (IVA) answers this concern as it could help clear unsecured debts of at least £15,000.

Over 30 per cent of British parents admit their job gets in the way of spending time with their children. Extra hours could be regularly put in if mounting debt means that more cash is needed to meet climbing interest repayments.

There is nothing worse than coming home from a harried day at work and being greeted by those five dreaded words: “Mommy, I don’t feel good!” When it’s something manageable like an upset stomach or a headache, home remedies (and snuggles with Mommy) are often all it takes for your little one to feel better. But when you’re dealing with a hacking cough, vomiting, a super-high fever or worse, you know it’s time to see a professional.

But most doctors’ offices keep regular business hours, and we all know that kids don’t get sick (or hurt) during regular business hours. So what is a mom to do? Thankfully, in Orlando, there are a few places to turn for help.

Where to go if it’s something minor: If it’s something simple like nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, and flu-like symptoms, the Minute Clinic inside select CVS pharmacies is a fantastic resource. There are CVS pharmacies all over Orlando, so there’s a good chance there’s a Minute Clinic near you. In the clinic, you’ll find licensed nurse practitioners and physicians assistants who can check on these symptoms (and many others) and diagnose and treat illnesses. They can even treat sprains, blisters, minor burns and small cuts.

Have you ever sat down to watch the evening news and flashes a News Report about a woman that died with 100 cats, house full of trash and stacks of newspapers to fill 100 dump trucks? In my single days, I use to live by a lady like this. The entire neighborhood would talk about her but none of us ever went over there to see if she needed anything or if I could help her clean her house. We just talked about how could she let her house go that way.

Well now it is 7 years down the road, I am a mother of three. My children are 4, 2 , and 1 and I am starting to have a little sympathy for people who are on the news. I feel for the old lady that lived by me when I was younger.I wonder now if maybe the headlines should read " Mother who raised 10 Children died today with 100 cats".

I remember when I was a little girl hearing stories of my grandmother. I never knew her but felt as though I did. I remember the first time that I saw her picture. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever set my eyes on. She was so beautiful, so feminine, so elegant, so poised.

My mother was so proud of her and loved her so much. She always called her mother her angel. She would tell me wonderful stories of when she was a little girl. How her mother took care of her, took her to church, to school, how she taught her how to do so many things. She told me of all the wonderful times they had together. She also told me of how her mother comforted her when she was sad. It seemed as though her mother was the most perfect lady that ever lived! I grew to love my grandmother so, although I had never had the opportunity to meet her. I grew to almost idolize this most perfect person that ever lived. She often recounted these lovely memories, which were the happiest days of my own mother’s life. Then, when she was twelve years old, tragedy struck and my mother’s life would never be quite as happy again.

When she was twelve years old, her mother took suddenly ill and died in a matter of days. Even at that young age she perceived that she died because of a doctor’s negligence, although she never could tell me exactly what the illness was. My mother never got over her death. Not until the day that she, herself died. She would tell me in such detail as to how she watched as the sudden illness struck my grandmother and then how she watched her angel leave her side never to return again. Even as a little girl, I saw her grief and pain. I believe that is when I was introduced to compassion. Through her eyes, I felt the loss of her one true love. I felt as if I, myself, was there as she had lost her best friend, her comforter, her rotector.

Much has been said about the importance of baby boomers in the 21st century because this generation of 78 million will have considerable power in determining the fabric of American culture. Their parents, born between 1901 and 1945, who are members of the GI Generation and the Silent Generation already know that the baby boomers are their vital link to the quality of life. Almost 30% of all baby boomers are currently helping their aging parents manage their lives in some way.

Sometimes the relative success adult children have with helping their aging parents may be explained by the different values, personal qualities, and behaviors that each generation demonstrates. There really can be a “generation gap” in communication between these generations because they think and act quite differently. In order to create a beneficial rapport and help parents as they age, it would help baby boomers to understand the differences between the generations. It is best to start a dialog with parents about important issues before a sudden event or crisis necessitates baby boomer involvement.

Single motherhood. How does that sound to you? A strong, independent woman? A tough- nut of a missy, perhaps, having to tackle the monumental task of parenting on her own. Well, that's one side of it. Beyond this scenario is also a person constantly stressed, or harassed, working her socks off to tend to her kids more than herself. And then there's the burly pile of bills and expenses to pay. And the laundry, the groceries, housekeeping, and more chores. Not to mention matters having to do with her job and herself personally. It's basically because her responsibility mostly lies on taking care of her "kids" or "children"- persons who have not attained maturity- and therefore dependent on her.

It's tough enough for a single woman to handle her own issues- career, relationships, finances- what more for the single mother. Single motherhood is basically a womanly lot exacting several times over. There goes the single mother- the matriarchal "do-it-all" of today's age. By all means, the single mother is expected to earn more, or else she HAS to. There might be financial support from the so-called father of her children, but at times it might not be enough. Single motherhood can be overwhelming at many points. As a single mother, you might get frazzled from time to time, wondering how you can handle your day-to-day undertakings, "insurmountable" as they may seem.
