People love to talk big talk. Unfortunately, people often fail to walk the walk. It is very easy to spurt out the things we can do, or will do (politicians do it very well), but it’s imperative to check our behaviors and results to make sure they match. We talk about change, but seldom make…
I remember weeding flower beds in our yard growing up. My mother would give us that little tool that looks similar to a screwdriver, except the metal end is shaped more like a triangle with two teeth-like points on the end. She would send us out, reminding us, “Make sure you get the roots!” This…
Humans are very emotional beings. The vast range of emotions we are able to experience is a big part of why the human experience is so deep and powerful. Emotions come and go…we have ups, and we have downs. It appears that these emotions control us. And they can. But the truth is we can…
There are many debates within the scientific and healthcare communities when it comes to causes of, and contributors to, the rapid rise in chronic illness.

The recent snow storm showed just how dramatic we can be. With the news, hyped up by media (of course!) that there was an impending snow storm headed our way, people freaked out. The reports were of ice and snow, but likely a two day event. This information should prompt preparedness. Ensure you have what…
As humans, we are wired with incredible abilities that help us heal, grow, and survive. We have been able to get to where we are today because we come equipped with a very specialized body and brain. The human body innately modifies its physiology to maintain survival in many different types of environments. And when…
Late Tuesday evening, a screeching alarm sounded in our house. The noise was followed with a computerized voice… “Carbon monoxide detected..” We looked at each other confused, as if we didn’t know what that was. While we hadn’t heard that alarm before, it was clear that our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors had detected carbon…
