A Celebration of You
Choose to be authentically you. You do not need to ask permission of the world, or anyone in it, to be the most genuine version of you, or to express all of the greatness within you. Indeed, deferring to others’ opinions of your kindness, creativity, intelligence, attractiveness, or some other att…
Happy World Book Day--Celebrating My Contribution to Bookdom
Today, on World Book Day, I'm celebrating the many books that have had an impact on my life from the Romantic poets I read growing up to the many health-transforming books I've read and loved as an adult. I'm also celebrating my twenty-five book contribution to the world's books. Be sure to chec…
Luna on the Lost Orchard Trail
The tree known as Luna, meaning the moon, appears to be reaching across the Lost Orchard trail as if to lend a hand. It is reminiscent of the moon’s steadfast light extending a silvery glow to illuminate our path on our bleakest nights. And, like the moon’s power to influence vast ocean tides and …
Winter Wonderland
The biting cold did not stop me from bundling up and heading out on my forest trails for a morning walk, camera in hand. Since you could not join me on my trek, I thought I’d snap a few photos to share with you. I did not imagine lasting long, particularly with fingertips peeking out of my glove…
Transported to a Slower Time
The snow falls softly, gently caressing the landscape below, creating an air of stillness and peace. For a moment, I am transported to a slower time where the pace of life no longer steals the breath from my body, but rejuvenates my being. There are no hectic schedules, no deadlines, no to do li…
Fulfilling a Dream
From the first step I took in an apple orchard south of Ottawa, Canada, I was in love with them. I loved the lush green trees filled with ruby red apples and the heavenly scent that filled the air. I loved filling my basket and enjoying them in pies, crisps, muffins, or eating them on their own. F…
Happy New Year!
The famous Romantic poet, William Wordsworth, once wrote: “fill your paper with the breathings of your heart,” which is sound advice for any writer. The sentiment could be expanded to be: “fill your life with the breathings of your heart.” So, in 2023, instead of making resolutions to change you…
Merry Christmas
The apple tree I named The Embrace, depicted in the photo above, was one of the most challenging trees to extract from the seemingly endless prickly ash and buckthorns surrounding it. Like guards surrounding a treasure, these invasive barbed gatekeepers seemed impossible to navigate and often le…
Revisiting Passion
Life had taken over as it often does so I hadn’t been in my orchard for a while. Unlike today’s orchards that are neat little rows of miniature trees, mine is made up of massive, Victorian-era apple trees spread over several acres. A walk through the forest trails to visit them was long overdue …
Christmas with the Piano Man
In large families, it may be easy to overlook the true significance of each person’s contribution. Such is the case with my Uncle Bill. He often took a backseat, which was typically a piano bench, to those bolder family members. My grandparents were larger than life, the kind of people who were …

Super-Powered Immunity: The Forgotten Remedy
One of the most powerful things you can do to boost your immune system and aid its ability to fight off infectious intruders is also one of the least known. Many people have not even heard of the nutrient, glutathione, which is one of nature’s greatest treasures when it comes to fighting disease…
Transform Your Health with the Master Antioxidant
For many years, I've searched for a product that encompassed the truly remarkable healing properties of the master antioxidant, glutathione, in an ABSORBABLE form. Intravenous forms work but are expensive and inconvenient for most people while only a tiny fraction of the glutathione in most supp…

A poppy from my garden in memory of those who sacrificed their lives to uphold goodness and decency against those who tried to justify the discrimination, segregation, and persecution of our fellow human beings.
