1. Cartoon that made me laugh this week… 2. Something I’ve added to my daily regimen… We started drinking limeade every day. What is limeade??? A full lime squeezed into 12 ounces of water and 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of Himalayan salt. There are many reasons to include this into your daily routine, but what…
If there is one thing that we as humans are very good at, it’s making excuses. We love to shift blame, deflect responsibility, and do just about anything to justify why we are not maximizing our potential and abilities. We can always find reasons why we are not succeeding in work, relationships, finances, health, and…
1. Scariest thing I heard this week (and maybe ever)… While reviewing the FDA’s meeting to approve the COVID-19 vaccine for children 5-11 years old, I was stunned to hear one of the doctors, Eric Rubin, make the following statement… “We’re never going to learn how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it.”…
Intensity is high when it comes to people trying to get other people to do what they think is best. It’s most obvious at the highest levels, with mandates trying to be pushed, but you see it every single day locally as well. There are heated debates within cities, businesses, schools, and even families. No…
1. New series we started, and I STRONGLY recommend… We just started a new series, Dopesick, a drama on Hulu starring Michael Keaton, which “examines how one company triggered the worst drug epidemic in American history.

1. ANOTHER medical contradiction reported this week… Once again, we find out that the medical advice that has been given to millions of Americans was wrong and dangerous. It was reported this week that The US Preventive Services Task Force is changing its recommendations on daily aspirin use, saying adults 60 and older should NOT…
Do you know the difference between misinformation and disinformation? After hearing the word “disinformation” over and over in the media, I decided to look it up. Both misinformation and disinformation are false information, but the difference is that misinformation is false information that the one spreading believes to be true, and disinformation is false information…
1. Something that got me thinking this week… I am VERY good at procrastinating. Sure, I do get a lot done, but it always seems to happen in the eleventh hour. I watched a really good TED talk this week, Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator, by Tim Urban. (Click here to watch it.) …
My guess is that humans have always had a hard time changing their minds. Maybe it’s because there’s a lot that goes into committing to a belief, making it super hard to adopt a different one. Or maybe our egos hang onto those beliefs, even when that belief gets rocked hard, because it’s so tough…
