And you haven’t done a thing except eat better, get healthier as you watch your blood pressure go down, and feel terrific? Read More →
There are books that change your life and then there are books that really change your life.Because of Deep Nutrition, I’ve radically changed my diet. I can’t tell you how much better I feel: tons more energy and a minor stomach pot is disappearing fast. I’m calmer and getting restful sleep, which I’d about resigned myself to doing without for the rest of my life. Incidentally, my high blood pressure is decent for a change and those annoying, stubborn skin rashes are next in line for full attention. Knee and neck pain from long ago injuries are gone; my joints are looser and more flexible. As they say, I’m happy as a clam. Read More →

It’s a win-win. One of my favorite things. Read More →

Or a better title - How to Write a Novel in Twenty Seven Years
I wrote this article for James Jones Literary Society Newsletter and while they keep telling me it will appear in the Newsletter, alas it doesn’t seem to! Although a member of the James Jones Literary Society for years, the Memphis Symposium was my first actual meeting.

Once there was a spiritual woman - raised four kids as a single mother and all have graduate degrees. Took care of others. Took care of her health: eating right, exercising, and feeding spiritual growth.

She kept on managing a bookstore at a spiritual retreat center, even a vacation to California. But the pain didn’t stop and bones kept breaking. Read More →
