Since my Dad was a farmer, I saw him working every day. Because I do something that I love to do, I’ve adopted his lifestyle and don’t think a thing of it. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, though, I battled the H1N1 virus and working every day became quite […]
Okay, I googled, “minutes spent exercising in U.S.” and the second article was from an analysis by researches at the University of California, Berkeley. Since I want to give them full credit and a link back to their article, you can find it here. But just in case […]
I get an inspirational email every day from Insight of the Day, and yesterday was no exception. On Friday, it is called, “Friday Story” and instead of being a quote, it is an inspirational story. Relying on their honesty, this is supposed to be a true story and […]
Two of my biggest heroes are George Bailey from the movie, “It’s A Wonderful Life” and John Beresford Tipton from the TV series, “The Millionaire” (yes, I used to watch it). As you read this, don’t be disappointed if Michael Anthony isn’t knocking on your door, because right about now […]
You may or may not have seen the ads for Shakeology on the Internet and if you did, you may have just passed them by. Frankly, healthy food does not have the same lure as a Deluxe Value Meal for $2.99 but for $3.49, Shakeology is a highly nutritious meal […]
A lot of Internet sites have been featuring an ad on their homepages for a $2.99 Deluxe Meal and I was so lured to the idea of getting a deluxe meal for $2.99 that I had to click on it. The meal comes in two versions, the Double Junior Cheeseburger […]

Last evening, we went to a service of gratitude at our church and the pastor related the story of Corrie Ten Boom. I did some research this morning and created her story of gratitude below. The Ten Boom family was sent to a concentration camp by the Nazis who […]
They say that by 2018, an obese person will pay about $2,500 more in health care costs so they probably pay maybe $1,500.00 more now. The cost of a good Team Beachbody workout ranges between $59.85 and $119.85 and the Team Beachbody Club membership is just over $150.00 a […]

In yesterday’s Sphere.com there was an article by David Knowles entitled, “Why Are Food Allergies on the Rise in Children?’ and it is worrisome enough to post some of the article here. He says, “The number of children with allergies to certain foods is rising at an alarming rate. […]
Duff Wilson wrote an article for the New York Times today and it is just so troubling that I needed to present at least the first part of it (you need to subscribe to the NY Times to read the rest – they offer a free subscription): “Even as drug […]
Today is Armistice Day and Veteran’s Day. Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. President Dwight Eisenhower signed into law on May 26, 1954 a […]
Take control of your dreams and chart a course to reach them by Brian Tracy in Success Magazine Imagine arriving on the outskirts of a large city and being told to drive to a particular home or office there. But there are no road signs and you have no map. […]
Darren Hardy is publisher of Success Magazine. I visit his site, read his blog and avidly follow him on Twitter because of his positive messages and because he is making a difference. On his blog, he recently posted an article entitled, “What Difference do You Make?” It […]
Most of us have very fond memories of things that we have seen through the windshields of our cars – a trip to the country, driving in the mountains or along the coast, the drive to the lake or even going to Grandma’s house. Wouldn’t it be great if looking […]
You have seen my posts about Wireless Run Tracker from BIM Active and how I use it for GPS tracking on my runs. I also mentioned that I can pause the tracking and take a picture either to document my run or let you see something that caught my […]

This is a great story from Cynthia Kersey – www.unstoppable.net. There is an interesting side note to the story below and you will find it at the end of this post… “You gotta be crazy!” That’s what Lee Dunham’s friends told him back in 1971 when he gave up a […]
Jay Leno said, “Now there are more overweight people in America than average weight people. So overweight people are now average. Which means you’ve met your New Year’s resolution.” Funny right? In a Fourth of July message a few years back, the Center for Consumer Freedom, an advocacy group financed […]

Scott Morrison lost 45 pounds doing P90X and he is in top shape. He wants to go to the next level with Insanity. Here is what he writes after Day 2: “I don’t think I could use easy and Insanity in the same sentence, unless I included the […]
