Up until the past few years most women have simply used whatever skin care products made the best claims, without really worrying about what effects the chemicals that produce those results might have on their skin in the long term, and also on their total health. Now I tend to gravitate towards products that are…

Helmet Laws
For most of my motorcycle riding lifetime in the US, there have been mandatory helmet laws. And while I have been lucky enough to always be with a highly experienced driver, I have also been lucky enough never been in a biking accident. At least one good friend of mine was scathed for life after…
New City, New Doctors
One of the more stressful things about moving back to the US is the change in doctors and insurance. In Turks and Caicos everything was clear and ran smoothly like new casters over a hardwood floor.

There are many great books and resources that can help you learn what to eat and what to avoid, but…
Barbados Healing Retreat 11-11-11
While I have called the Turks and Caicos Islands home for the past 6 years, there are many beautiful Caribbean islands to visit. Each of the countries has a slightly different flavor depending on who the original settlers were, where they came from, and whether they maintained control of the government or not. But what…
Please Make People Go to Rehab
The recent death of Amy Winehouse should serve as a reminder to us all that people who are addicted to drugs and alcohol need to be in rehab – they need help. Whether they end up in one of the gorgeous malibu treatment centers or in a hospital, whether near family and friends or far…
Other People’s Children
Just after the tiny infant days of video baby monitors and cribs, you will bring your child out in public.
