WALK WITH ME

            Walk With Me..........


Walk With Me is an idea I got from one of my clients. It was a beautiful day and I was checking in with her to see if she had gone for a walk yet.  "I have my sneakers on," she said.

KRAFT: PROFITS VS HEALTHY FOOD

This morning I heard a report that Kraft is planning on splitting their company into two separate companies.  One company will be the ' Global Snacking platform' and the other a 'The North American grocery business.'



I was driving to work and I was only half listening to the report when I heard the words, " The business would have a strong presence in the fast-growing and high-margin instant consumption channel."   What exactly is the "instant consumption channel?"  I had no idea and it bothered me all day. If you don't know either,  keep reading.............

If you have an Apple computer you may recognize this picture.  It is the spinning beach ball of death.
Mine appeared with increased frequency late last summer and by October I was at the Apple store buying an external hard drive to back up my data. This past week my computer sent me some messages of doom and gloom and then crash boom..............

Anything This Pretty has to Taste Good Even if it's GREEN!

Ha! It looks delicious.  People are always telling me that it is expensive to eat healthy food and I disagree. If you keep a few simple ingredients on hand you can make delicious food with a couple of fresh veggies, a grain and perhaps some beans.  Sound too good to be true?  I think not.

Raw Food VS Cooked Food

I am excited to tell you that I spent the last day and a half at a David Wolfe seminar in Baltimore, Md.  David Wolfe is a raw foodist and he is a wealth of information.  Like any other 'life style' this is not for everyone.   But there are many things that each of us can take away from the raw food movement that would benefit us greatly.

Choose Your Path


I grew up in a family with illness abound.  From the time that I was very young, I can remember my father asking me if I would take care of him when he was old and gray.  My answer was always the same, "Dad you are  old and gray!"  It became a game between us.
Sadly the foreshadowing was set and I was part of a huge team that took care of him in his later years.
