I love this sign! It speaks to me on so many levels. According to the equation, matter and energy are the same; they can become each other. How awesome is that is that?! We are all connected by this game called life which is just one giant energy transfer. What you consume converts to fuelContinue reading “You Matter”

The Gratitude Pantry
Many times we stockpile food thinking we are going to use it in the near future but it ends up sitting in the pantry for a year. I have been trying to clean out my pantry before I bring new groceries into the house for the holidays. This has become a platform for creativity. IContinue reading “The Gratitude Pantry”
Friend or Foe
IÂ joined a community garden this year. It has been a wonderful experience. I am learning so much about the flora and fauna of this region. What surprised me the most was gallus gallus domesticus species. The community garden had a great season, producing plentiful crops for members to share. Unfortunately, the grasshoppers wreaked havoc on the plantsContinue reading “Friend or Foe”
Accountability
September is Pain Awareness Month. Back in the day, I sat on a pain steering committee for the hospital. Our goal was to reduce painful stimuli for our patients. This happened through reviewing pain studies, trialing products, identifying best practices, and educating best practices to staff. One thing I focused on was non-pharmacological pain management.Continue reading “Accountability”
Processed Foods
This month I shared about the movie Soylent Green and the processed wafers that citizens were desperate to consume without knowing the secret ingredient. The simplest definition of processed, in regard to food, is to alter the form. Most foods are processed before consumption whether it be cut, ground, baked, boiled, etc. The concern withContinue reading “Processed Foods”
What’s In Your Food?
I was recently introduced to the 1971 Charleston Heston film, Soylent Green. After my friend explained the premise, l looked into it further. It was based on the book, “Make Room! Make Room!” by Harry Harrison, about overpopulation and hoarding of resources by the wealthy. Since it portrayed the futurist year 2022, I thought itContinue reading “What’s In Your Food?”
Freedom and Responsibility
In the United States we celebrate Independence Day today. Freedom is multi-faceted. There are contingencies that accompany the act of freedom, the most important being responsibility. People from various walks of life have made quotes about the relationship between responsibility and freedom. The effects it has on others, how it is earned, and how toContinue reading “Freedom and Responsibility”
Exercise Snacks
One of the trendy health words that has been buzzing around in 2023 has been “Exercise Snacks”. What does that mean? It’s similar to how we snack with food: shorter sessions of exercise throughout the day instead of one concentrated session of movement. Honestly, I have been doing this my whole life as I haveContinue reading “Exercise Snacks”
Why Magnesium is Essential for Your Body and Mind
Magnesium. Mr. Mg. Number 12 on the element chart. He doesn’t get a lot of publicity and unfortunately, it shows. Almost 50% of Americans don’t have enough Magnesium in their system. Magnesium is needed to metabolize Vitamin D. Guess how many Americans have a vitamin D deficiency? Mm-hmm. But the duties of magnesium doesn’t stopContinue reading “Why Magnesium is Essential for Your Body and Mind”
