Perfect Heart

My brother sent me this story years ago, while I was contemplating love in my life.  It has nestled into a warm wonderful place in my life.
Enjoy the sweet wonderful story for Valentine’s Day
Perfect Heart
One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most [...]

Cheese graters, bacon grease & Gu! Oh My!

My day typically begins by joining my friend Kristen, and her golden retriever Kiley, for an early morning run.  On Sept 16th, the eve of a run, Kristen text messages me to tell me we will have another runner joining us in the morning and to be on time!  She explains that he is her [...]

Forgivercizes

 
During one of my many visits to Tatnuck’s Bookseller, a particular book title piqued my interest: All is Forgiven MOVE ON by Janice Taylor. The subtitle of the book had me giggling “Our Lady of Weight Loss’s 101 Fat Burning Steps on Your Journey to Svetlsville.”

Ok, she got me. I was enticed to [...]

The Home Plate

Yesterday’s post addressed the impact parents can have on their child’s food at school. The kitchen cupboards and refrigerator were also swung open for a reality check.

Charity begins at home. Donate the time and energy to your health and your family’s health. The results from this generous health donation will pay forward immediately and [...]

“Food Fight! “

Did you hear this infamous cry in your high school cafeteria moments before food would start flying around the room? Rarely aimed at anyone in particular, the various food groups just catapulted around the room in hopes they would splat on a target. This, to me, is one way the parent-child-school food relationship appears.

It’s [...]

Sugar Medicine

 
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down … hmmm, but what if the sugar is the medicine?

Working in the medical field, the phrases practicing medicine and dispensing medicine have always intrigued me. Early on it started with the question of how is it that one person can practice medicine while another can [...]

Deck Yoga

 
Today I decided to tackle cleaning up my deck. This may not sound like a big task to most people, but if you’d seen how out of hand the plants, vines, etc on and around my deck got the past year you’d understand the ‘task’.

Now there is room to do yoga on my deck! [...]

The Real Meal Deal

 
Last month I had an interesting request from Dr Susan Corso. She asked me to write a blog post about meal replacement bars.

 
I read this request a few times and thought, is she serious? I knew she was, so what was the catch? Was there some spiritual challenge she had in mind? She knows my [...]

Milking it!

 
Dairy, a Darwinian dilemma amongst foodies. I was, as most of us were, raised with the idea that we are supposed to drink milk. The famous advertisement … milk, it does a body good, was very true, but only when the milk that was available was healthy and nutritious!

 
Years ago I heard an opinion from [...]

Grill Sergeant!

As I write this, it is Memorial Day weekend, a time dedicated to honoring those who served our country in the military and dedicated their lives for our freedom and happiness. How appropriate that we honor them with a weekend of parades, and cookouts with family and friends!

Is this weekend the start of cookout [...]
