Why do we respond to our cravings for sugar, carbs and salt? Is it lack of will power or is it a brain response that you are unable to control? A new study suggests that high glycemic foods also know as bad carbs and foods high in sugar can be just as addictive as cocaine.
Community
My mother’s passion for philanthropy inspired me to follow in her footsteps. My parents were faithful to several organizations including: The Salvation Army and Cross-Lines Community Outreach, Inc. which I’m proud to continue this legacy.
Doing what I love ringing the bell during the Christmas season. There are many reasons why to help those in need. My #RedKettleReason is: Continue my parents legacy of giving to others.

Douse the Inflamed Body with Whole Foods
Christmas VACATION week…woooot!! What a perfect time to start a 10 day whole foods detox right?
So off to Natural Grocers I go with my long grocery list in hand of yummy ingredients for salads, soups, snacks, protein and chicken recipes from the detox book.
Piled high on the counter were veggies, greens, spices, almond butter, miso paste and more. The store clerk was wondering what I was up to and I imagine you are too. She said, “You are doing a detox during the holidays? What about all those yummy holiday foods?”
Sure I do my best to eat clean but I do have a weakness for…fresh baked cookies especially Christmas cookies. I love love them times infinity! Yum sugar cookies…soft and chewy underbaked…straight out of the oven…breaking apart as you eat…sweet tasting sugar…oh sorry where was I?!
Back to the detox. It just seemed like an easier time to fit in during my vacation. So, let’s dig in and learn how to douse the inflamed body with whole foods!

DNA of Longevity: Habits Matter
A recent Harvard Medical study posed the provocative question: can the Mediterranean diet affect longevity? Yes!
Wonder how it does that at the DNA level?
The ongoing question about whether it’s biology or habits has vexed mankind. Our destiny has some given limits without a doubt. Some people cannot ever hope to run a 4 minute mile because of body structure right?
Eat the right foods and run a 4 minute mile…NO! Use the right food habits and change YOUR DNA…YES! DNA is subject to our habits: it is directly affected by our dietary intake. The right habits via the Mediterranean diet slows the relentless effects of time. FACT.

Grace: See It to Feel It
What is grace? Grace is the exercise of love, kindness, compassion, mercy, favor; disposition to benefit or serve others.
As defined by YourDictionary.com grace has several meanings: elegance and beauty of movement; pleasing or charming quality, goodwill or favor; thoughtfulness toward others; excellence or power granted by God and short prayer of blessing before a meal.
Here are a few words that come to my mind when I hear the word grace: authenticity, patience, bliss, radiance, and gratitude.
Patience
