Am I really that abnormal to prefer water over any other beverage? Okay, fine, let me clarify. I love coffee and wine, too, but throughout the day, it’s water, pure and simple. I don’t drink soda or juice. I don’t like them and my body doesn’t need them. I know, I know. My body doesn’t […]

Think back to your childhood, or maybe last month, or even last week, to a time something really great happened in your life. Or something not so great.

That’s a pretty nice plant, don’t you think? I mean, I know it’s just a plant.
