In the 1920s, Dr. Clara Davis conducted a groundbreaking study showing that when given only whole, unprocessed foods, children naturally chose a nutritionally balanced diet. Her research highlights the body's innate wisdom in selecting what it needs—something easily disrupted by today’s ultra-processed foods. By returning to real, nutrient-dense foods and reducing environmental toxins, we can reconnect with this intuitive way of eating, fostering better health for both children and adults.

Linen underwear isn’t just a luxury—it’s a smart, healthy choice. As one of the oldest textiles, linen has a rich history of being valued for its breathability, durability, and natural healing properties. Unlike cotton, linen is moisture-wicking, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skin. It regulates temperature, promotes circulation, and is free from harsh chemicals. Plus, linen is eco-friendly, requiring fewer pesticides and less water to produce. Invest in pure linen underwear for better health, comfort, and sustainability—your body (and the planet) will thank you!

In 2020, I left a deeply unhealthy 41-year marriage, finding liberation through divorce in 2021 and healing by 2024. Divorce, though challenging, can be a courageous path to freedom, growth, and genuine happiness. Often stigmatized as failure, it’s time we view divorce as an essential choice when relationships become toxic or unrepairable. Removing the stigma allows individuals to prioritize well-being, embrace authenticity, and approach marriage as a daily choice rooted in love, not obligation. Divorce isn’t easy, but it can be the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life—an act of courage that aligns with truth and personal values.

Jólabókaflóð: The Joy of a Bookish Christmas TraditionImagine a Christmas Eve surrounded by candlelight, a cozy blanket, and the crackling of a fire—all while you’re immersed in the pages of a new book. This magical tradition, known as Jólabókaflóð (pronounced yo-la-bok-a-flothe), or "The Christmas Book Flood," comes from Iceland. Every year, Icelanders exchange books on Christmas Eve and spend the night reading and drinking hot chocolate or spiced mulled wine or cider.
This custom began during World War II when imports were restricted, but paper was one of the few things not rationed. Books became the perfect Christmas gift, and the tradition stuck. Even today, the majority of books in Iceland are sold between September and December, leading up to the festive season. It’s a beautiful way to connect with family and escape into the world of stories during the holiday.
