Growing up…

…We all have something we want to be, or become when we grow up, and it’s usually focused around what we do to make a living. But we are all individuals and should not be simply measured by what we do for a living, to define who we are. So, taking your employment or how… Read more »

Antioxidants – What’s the deal??

An antioxidant is a molecule that helps slow or prevent oxidation of other molecules which can produce free radicals. Free radicals attack molecules by capturing electrons thereby changing molecular structures…starting chain reactions that damage cells. An antioxidant works by “giving up” an electron or electrons to other molecules, stopping or preventing the free radical and… Read more »

It’s not work…

It’s Practice. Spin it and Win it! By doing something on a repeated basis, we only get better at it as we do it. So why not think of it as practice and see just how good we can get. Remember, it’s not what we do, it’s how we do it. So whatever we do,… Read more »

THE MAN WHO SOLD HOT DOGS

There was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs. He was hard of hearing, so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspaper. But he sold good hot dogs. He put signs up on the highway telling how good they were…. Read more »

When it’s time…

By having regrets, we spend our present and future strolling down “Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda Street” which serves no purpose. Finding lessons from our… Read more »

Service…

Is always a good thing, as it’s always nice to be served. But there can be a difference in the quality in service given and received. Someone just starting out learning how to serve, can be a bit awkward at first, as they are just learning the skill. Even someone who has been doing it… Read more »

Certainty…

Should not be a lost art, and we should practice it often. Certainty, is a great tool to help us get where we want to go. For us to be certain with our decisions, we can move forward on all “cylinders” without hesitation or doubt. Or we can decide with a “half baked” attitude, and… Read more »

Roughage or Fiber?

Fiber is the most commonly accepted word relating to a dietary essential. And back when I grew up, it was… “eat your roughage” – accompanied by a swift smack to the back of the head. I either case, parents are right…eat your fiber …or roughage for us that grew up “back in the day”. It… Read more »

Breathing…

It’s something we need to do. We can go without food for weeks, water maybe days and without air…most likely not more than about 2 minutes. Yes, it’s pretty important…nearly all functions of our body, down to the cellular level are aerobic, meaning they need oxygen. Yet, in our daily routine, most of us just… Read more »
