Tough Decisions – Day 5



I hope everyone is having a very Happy Valentine’s Day. For those who are single, I hope you have made a day out of celebrating how much you love yourself, by pampering and otherwise spoiling yourself rotten. I believe that if you can’t completely love yourself, unconditionally, warts and all, you can’t truly love anyone else. So, all you singles out there: take the time to embrace every facet of your being. Celebrate the unique and special person that you are! Continue Reading…

I miss my sweets! I’m not a huge sweet eater, but I do want a small treat after lunch and dinner. It just seems to finish the meal for me.

Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease – Videos

I have been introduced to two medical videos about gluten sensitivity and Celiac Disease, that I think are critical for everyone to see. The first was posted on the Celiac Disease- not just a food preference Facebook page. The site is a great resource run by dedicated, caring people who are doing a terrific job of keeping everyone informed. It’s well worth a visit. Although it is based in the UK, people from all over the world belong and post resources pertinent to their part of the world. When I shared this site with my sister and a friend, Heather, I was introduced to yet another resource by Heather. Both were so enlightening that I wanted to share them with all of you. The first video is about 40 minutes long and the second is about 50 minutes. I saw them twice …the second time I took notes! I hope you find them as valuable as I did.
