Can’t log in to your wordpress admin panel because the login screen refreshes?

I just moved my sites from one server to another last night.  As I have multiple installations of WordPress, I found that I was having trouble logging in to two of my installs.

You see, I would put in my log-in credentials and push the log in button, but the login screen would simply refresh — thereby not allowing me to access my dashboard.

The fix?  I deleted the php.ini file in the root folder where the files of my WordPress install lay.

Worked like a charm!  Now, I can log in!

So, if you have tried everything else — uploading fresh wordpress files, disabling your plugins and resetting your password, this solution might work for you.

The Journey…

I was really inspired by this tonight. It reminds me of a quote by Albert Einstein:

“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” ~ Albert Einstein

Here is the video:

and here are the lyrics:

Half the world is sleeping
Half the world’s awake
Half can hear their heart beat
Half just hear them break
I am but a traveler
Been most everywhere
Ask me what you want to know.

[Chorus:]

What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
And they’re bound to guide my way
When they’re shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won’t let the darkness in
What a journey it has been.

I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where I’ll be tomorrow
I can only guess
Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow
Forward, always forward I go.
Forward, always forward
Onward, always up
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup.

Been…
What a journey it has been.

Sleep well, fellow journeyers!

Fighting childhood obesity

My doctor informed me that children of overweight/obese parents have an 80% chance of being overweight/obese themselves. 80%!!

Is it genetics or environment or both?

My doctor said that he actually tells parents that their kids need at least an hour of exercise daily. When I was a kid, daily exercise and being outside was kind of part of being a kid. All of that stuff went unsaid. Are parents more overprotective? Do we second and third guess ourselves to the point where we don’t allow our children the same freedoms that we had as kids because of fear? Or do we have more things to do while “sitting down”?

I can honestly say that my parents never educated me on nutrition and exercise. Then again, it wasn’t as big of an issue back then as it is today.

My husband and I enroll our kids in various activities that require being active: karate, swimming, cheer leading, dance, soccer, etc. We want them to have less of a struggle with their weight and more importantly to have self-confidence and a good body-image. In addition, we have also started being better examples. We explain about nutrition and healthy food and making good choices.

What do you think about childhood obesity?
