Illnesses do not come upon us out of the blue. They are developed from small daily sins against Nature. When enough sins have accumulated, illness will suddenly appear. - Hippocrates A few weeks back I wrote about the winter blues and how the seasons affect our moods and energy levels.

Nourishing Food Reviews
I think I may need to do a once monthly column on new food products I have reviewed. Lately here I have been getting more and more food product pitches from companies and have been pleasantly surprised to find some really good eats among the offerings.
