Do you just have… Continue

Three words to remember

“Blessing, love and appreciation” Make it a habit everyday to bless and appreciate everything in your life, everything that surrounds you. As you do you are inviting more of the same into your life.

Give thanks for who you are and what you have in life; appreciate all that is and everything you are capabl… Continue

Oprah's Best LIfe Week

Transformation Inspiration

Bear with me for a minute, because what I am going to say next will seem, at first, to have nothing to do with supermodel, Super Mom and Olympian, Dara Torres. A friend of mine called me up on the weekend and asked me if I would help him get ‘back into shape’. Surprised? You bet. This guy never asks for advice.

Research published in Environmental Science and Technology Journal, (Dasgupta P, Liu Y, et al.) has revealed that iodized salt is not likely to contain the amount of iodine it’s supposed to, and even if it did, many Americans are cutting back on salting home-cooked meals.
