The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Then Stop

I had the luck of ending up behind a school bus this morning that was picking up neighborhood children and whisking them off to school.

Do You Really Have a Food Allergy?

Let's say that recently you began eating organic whole-milk yogurt. After you eat it, you don't feel so well. Your stomach feels upset a bit. So what do you do?

Commit to Yourself or You'll Be Committed

It's amazing how many days, weeks, months go by and before you know it you're a basket case. That's right ... ready for the padded cell, the straight jacket, the lobotomy. All because you ran yourself into the ground and now can't even put a sentence together.

Cardboard Nutrition

I'm back in Switzerland visiting my family and one of the very first things I notice is the difference in food. The taste, the quality, the very feeling of fullness that you get when you eat food here.

Like A River Flows

Recently my photography mentor sent me a poem by an Irish poet friend of his: I would love to live Like a river flows, Carried by the surprise Of its own unfolding - John O'Donohue. In truth, we do live like a river and this is the best analogy I've found to explain our health and the path of wellness.

Go Ahead and Let Them Eat Dirt

Part of a parent's job description is constant control over their young child's eating of the world around them.

Is There Nothing Left That Doesn't Use a Battery?

Over the past couple of years I have been spending more time with my friend's children. It reminds me of my grandfather's stories about walking 400 miles to school each day through the snow in the same pair of shoes for 18 years. What brings up those reminiscences are the sheer tsunami-size flood of toys that require batteries.
