1. Great nutritional tip I heard this week… Someone told me that when trying to get her grandchildren to eat healthier foods that they don’t like, like vegetables, she reminds them that their tongue is the only thing that doesn’t like them. She reminds them that their stomach, organs, and every other part of their…
1. Quote I love… “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” -Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail I wanted to add this quote to the blog I posted…
1. Someone I am following closer… Dr. Zach Bush, I believe, is one of the smartest, most well-spoken, and thought-provoking people ON THE PLANET. He’s one of the few triple board certified physicians in the country. I LOVE this guy! I’m watching and reading anything and everything he posts. It’s people like this who give…
1. A recognition that got me thinking… Last week, it was announced that the Cleveland Clinic again has been ranked the No. 1 hospital for heart care in U.S. News & World Report’s 2021-22 Best Hospitals rankings. This is the 27th consecutive year for this recognition. I couldn’t help but note that heart disease has been the leading…
1. Habit I am trying to reinforce… There’s a great lesson that I picked up a while back… Road block vs. Road sign. I can’t remember where I read it, but I had put it in my notes on my phone and have been thinking about it ever since. The idea here is that when…
1. Something that changed this week (today, actually!)… They announced that the Cleveland Indians will officially change their name next season. I knew it was coming. The new name… The Cleveland Guardians. Part of me thinks it’s foolish to change the name, the other part doesn’t really care. People have their reasons for thinking the…
1. Habit I am recommitting to… In a time when customer service seems at an all-time low, I have found myself complaining about it A LOT. Well… after a really good meal with excellent service at lunch this week (Dante at Cedar Creek Grille), I have recommitted to praising those that do a great job.…
1. Awesome gift idea… I was thrilled to have family come in for my daughter, Quincy’s, graduation party. A couple sisters-in-law made one of the coolest gifts for her. (Thanks, Kym and Cheryl!) It’s basically a photo album with an inspirational or funny quote in the middle of each page, with the rest of the…
1. Quote I love… “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou 2. Powerful word I just learned… Ecocide… “Unlawful or wanton acts committed with knowledge that there is a substantial likelihood of severe and either widespread or long-term damage to the environment being caused…
1. Quick, easy, healthy meal… We try to make meals that are lower in carbs, plant heavy, good protein, low sugar, and overall nutrient-dense. Lettuce wraps are just about perfect. We start with a piece of romaine lettuce, add a protein (sliced chicken thighs or breasts, higher quality lunch meats, steak, or pork), sliced pickle,…
