Appreciate Your Stress

I discovered this absolutely amazing Ted Talk a few weeks ago.    Considering the fact that I am a well-known worry wart and super duper stress case ~ sometimes I describe myself as a little hummingbird, buzzing about with worry, stress, anxiety, and simple busyness…I don’t like to be idle ~ Kelly’s words had a…

Chew on This

I have been known to inhale my food.  Seriously – I skip all the steps involved in going from the fork to the belly.  I don’t know what happens.  It certainly is not as if I grew up in a situation where food was scarce and I would lose the opportunity to eat without a…

Say “Yes” to Chocolate

Chocolate was another one of those items to which I had to work at acquiring a taste.  I made an effort to “train” my palette.  It was one of those things, much like BACON and olives, that I so wanted to adore, but just did not enjoy for a long, long time.  Now, it’s a…

What’s Up with That, Doc?

“You’ve probably heard the myth that eating lots of carrots will magically improve your vision. The bad news is that it’s a total lie.” Say what?????? “The good news? It’s one that helped the Allies defeat the Nazis.” I recently came across this informative piece regarding this history of the all too familiar adage, “carrots will…

Your Time is Valuable

Next to family and friends, time is really one of the most precious things around. To waste time is to waste moments of life.  Of course there are instances when I find myself wasting an incredible amount of time.  The eye candy on Pinterest seems to be a culprit for me, as well as scrolling…

We All Want To Be Happy

All of us want to be happy.  In fact, happiness is rated as more desirable than anything else in life, as attested from all corners of the world.  All of us want to be happy so much more than we want a new car, a new house, a fancy vacation (more money), a new body…
