1. Healthy snack we experimented with this week… I am constantly trying to take the unhealthy foods that I love and find or create a healthier version of them (I even tried to make a healthy version of sausage gravy. Didn’t go too well!). This week, Lana and I made sweet potato chips. We sliced…
1. Movie I saw last week (and you NEED TO also!)… We finally made it to the movie Sound of Freedom. This is a movie about child sex-trafficking and has shaken everyone that I know that has seen it. Oddly, there was A LOT of resistance in getting it released, and even more oddly, it…

1. Series I watched… Graham Hancock is a British journalist who is often mistaken for an archeologist because of his interest in, knowledge of, and theories on early civilizations, historical documents, and archeological facts.

1. Words of wisdom I received this week… I am blessed to be able to see hundreds of patients every week, from newborn babies to patients in their 90’s. My ears always perk up when my oldest patients share some wisdom. They have SO MUCH to share, having seen and experienced so much. This week,…
