“In poverty and other misfortunes of life, true friends are a sure refuge. They keep the young out of mischief; they comfort and aid the old in their weakness, and they incite those in the prime of life to noble deeds.” Aristotle I have to admit that I am a bit of an introvert. Actually, […]
I am from the ‘Dairy Country’ of Minnesota. I grew up milking cows at my cousins’ farms. We drank raw milk (oh, it was good) – so, I am a dairy lover (and, born a Wisconsin ‘Cheesehead’). But, those were the days before rBGH (Bovine Growth Hormone), overuse of pesticides, GMO’s (genetically modified organisms), and […]

There comes a time when each one of us must confront our deepest self and have the courage to ask “Am I being honest with myself?”. It oftentimes takes guts and you may not like what you uncover – but, it is critical for becoming a more mature, and frankly, caring individual. I am going […]
Alright, some of us may be guilty of acting like a child from time to time (I know that I am guilty). But, this is different. What was it about the Christmases of your childhood that make you feel warm inside? Was it hot cocoa after an afternoon of ice-skating or caroling? Was it looking […]
Halloween is next week (and, for those of you in the UK – Guy Fawkes Day is soon approaching).
