Go on a Cruise
One way to have the courage to make the first move and do what is right is to adopt what I call a “cruise mentality.” One of the reasons I love to take cruise vacations is the sense of freedom I have knowing I’ll never see my fellow passengers again. It enables me be authentic […]
Toast to Your Good Health
It’s the season to celebrate – weddings, graduations, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and the list goes on. I had a graduation and three birthdays last month. While I do some moderate drinking, I should point out that, from a health perspective, there are pros and cons to consuming alcohol. Experts advise that moderate alcohol consumption […]
Make the First Move
For peace and nonviolence to be present, someone must make the first move in their direction. Too often we hold back, waiting for confirmation of what we already know. Peace in our world begins with us, right where we are, right now.
Part Time Healthy Eating

The Facts About the 5-Second Rule
How long does it take for food to become contaminated once it hits the floor? According to researchers, less than five seconds. Foods pick up the bacteria virtually instantly, especially when dropped on tile. The good news is that most floors are generally cleaner than we might expect them to be, although bacteria can live […]
Be an Encourager
Encourage – to give somebody hope, confidence or courage. One way to promote peace and nonviolence is to encourage others, rather than judge them. A kind word of encouragement from you may be all it takes for someone to remember who they really are. My favorite encourager is Liz Curtis Higgs. Ladies, don’t ever miss […]
