“If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.” Rabindranath Tagore
Where do you want to live? That’s a question we need ourselves each day. We can live in self created space of pity and angst. We can choose to live in a world where we see goodness, possibilities, and believe that life is good and getting better. It’s our choice. I hope your choice is filled to overflowing with love, beauty, happiness, and joy.
Studies show that cinnamon confers cognitive benefits and anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and immunomodulatory properties.
Some research shows that cinnamon potentially has neuroprotective effects, including against Alzheimer’s disease. A compound in cinnamon known as cinnamaldehyde, for example, has been shown to inhibit the buildup of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain- a key sign of Alzheimer’s.

A Time to Talk
Robert Frost
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
Every great relationship is a dance between two people in love where observers can’t separate the dance from the dancers.
“Be grateful for every single person who was part of your story. The ones that hurt you. The ones that helped you.
Because they all taught you.”

“Strawberries are an antioxidant powerhouse,” says Jenna Volpe, RDN, who practices in Austin, Texas. “Adding strawberries to a balanced diet can potentially offer a wide array of benefits, ranging from cardiovascular support and inflammation reduction to cancer protection, a healthier gut, and more.” Some antioxidants found in strawberries include vitamin C and the carotenoids lutein and carotene, according to USDA data. Plus, strawberries are a good source of other vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
