Faux Food vs. Real Food
On the table before you sits a spoon, a new and improved lemony flavored food product, and a glass of cold water. To the right of that is another glass of cool water, a sharp knife, and a fresh lemon. You are so very thirsty. Which lemon water would you choose to drink? Unfortunately, Alfred E. Newman is right. Many of us would end up choosing the product made with artificial flavors. Why?...

To a friend...
I can honestly say I am the best I have been in a very long time. It has not been easy, as you know, this thing called life and it doesn’t necessarily get easier as one gets older. But, I have less stress, less guilt, more peace & more hope than I have had in a long time. That… is a good thing :-)
