If the question of "what to eat?" is your thing....

In such a short period of time!

In addition to sharing this story with you, Crete's Health Care Crisis, I want to make a short comment. The Mediterranean diet originated as a way of eating in warmer climates. It is actually only healthy for the descendants of those ancestors who came from such warmer climates as Crete. Descendants of those whose journey took them over the colder, more northerly routes across Russia, Asia and beyond need the opposite foods. Now, enjoy the article and prepare to be amazed.

It's about living and sometimes it's about dying

Reading about this remarkable woman threw all my preconceptions to the wind. What she accomplished in the last 7 years of her life, dealing with a life threatening disease, is a real eye opener. Worth a few minutes of your time, I promise.

Making the Effort

I have just been a part of three events in the last week where I witnessed amazing efforts on the part of the organizers. The first was last week's triathlon. The volunteers and organizers were there from before dawn to well into the afternoon, setting up, holding a well organized event, and breaking down all the equipment. No couch potatoes here.
The next event was my friend Sheilah's sculpture exhibit. Collaborative Concepts had 50 acres on a farm with 30 to 40 major installations. All the work to create the pieces and then getting them to the farm must have been exhausting. As you can read in their blog, the collaborative organized everyone for months ahead of time and pulled it off without a hitch.
Lastly, at my Mohegan Colony, Lyle Puente of My Brothers Banned, single handedly organized a movie night at the lake for our entire community. He schlepped the gear, chose the movie and sent out dozens of emails. It was a perfect night and a real treat.
Thank you all for enriching my life!

Some People Climb Mountains and Some People Have Heart Surgery

She's done it again. Krista Tippet has a wonderful interview this week on healing and alternative medicine. She is speaking with Dr. Oz of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. They discuss how including Alternative Medicine, with modalities drawn from various locales in the treatment plan, is the globalization of medicine. Have a listen.
