We have virtually instant access these days to an almost unimaginable wealth of information. Just type a search into Google or your engine of choice, and the world is at your fingertips, almost literally. But it comes at a price. For with all the stuff we want to see, comes a bunch we don’t. Offering

Here we are again. Another first Monday after the annual ritual of springing ahead. Why do we do this to ourselves? Or more importantly, why are we forced to do so? Why do we rather arbitrarily have to adjust our internal clocks back and forth? Like a little time teeter totter. I read a great

Believe it or not, there’s actually one thing I don’t like about frozen raw pet food – it needs power to keep it frozen. Well, at least where we live. Maybe a move to the Arctic is worth considering… But when the food supply for your animals depends on freezers, extended power failures are a

We all react differently to the various stressors we face in life. What gets one person upset and filled with anxiety, may be nothing more than a trifle, easily ignored by another. Some wise words uttered many years ago, that have been shared with me are, “Hey man, I’m just passin’ through.” What’s the point

These animals (i.e. cattle, buffalo, sheep, deer, goats, antelope, etc.) are classified

My father had some great ways of looking at things. I asked him once about the whole glass half empty versus half full metaphor for life. His answer wasn't what I expected. He just matter-of-factly and confidently stated his wasn't either one. His glass was completely full. He had this great grin on his face. So peaceful. He refused to accept that things were limited, or at least that's how I interpreted it.

We had already seen many dramatic health improvements from feeding raw to our animals: better coats, weight control, breath and teeth, body functions in general, healthier immune systems, and just plain friskier with more energy. But about five years ago another rather big diet modification became necessary. This incredible cat Bailey had had a number

In a couple of earlier posts I spoke of homeopathy, a medicinal art I feel very passionate about and have seen do amazing things. But that does not mean I don’t look to other ways of healing as well. Alternative, complementary, integrative medicine, whatever name you want to use, there is this wonderful umbrella of

I saw a commercial today that actually made an interesting point. It spoke of the much greater frequency of the question, “What’s for dinner?” rather than, “What’s in dinner?” Change one simple little preposition and the entire meaning changes. While advertising a product I would still not consider all that healthy, it brought up a

Have you ever felt that there are so many interesting things to talk or think about, that you simply don’t know where to start? That’s how I was feeling earlier today, trying to decide what to write about first. Since you are reading this now, and thank you for that, you can see I finally
