Entrepreneur.com just published one of my new articles. It begins:
“Although the word ego often carries a negative connotation – as in egocentric or egotistical – in actuality, the ego has both positive and negative aspects.
“From the positive perspective, ego simply means a solid, healthy and strong sense of self. Ego in this regard is essential in business. To be a powerful force in business means the individual has to be solid and self-reliant. Though a big ego is usually considered to be a negative trait, in fact, the bigger the ego, the better.”

HuffingtonPost.com just published another one of my articles. It begins:
"There are many approaches to spirituality, religious practices, and self-help techniques. Are any of them really valid? How do we go about trying to answer that question? The first thing that has to happen is this: we need to understand what spirituality is, and what it means to be a spiritual person. Once that is accomplished, we can evaluate various approaches in light of that understanding"…

I have recently been pouring through a vast number of studies regarding the vegan diet. A few months of enjoying the diet has been most compelling. Strictly speaking I am not totally vegan since I will still, for example, ingest some honey once in a while. My diet consists primarily of plant based foods, no dairy, and no wheat. My journey began with a book, 10-day Green Smoothie Cleanse by JJ Smth, and lead to Dr Greger’s website, nutritionfacts.org.
Most of Dr. Greger’s videos on his website are only two or three minutes long and flipping through his alphabetized index on the homepage to find topics of interest has become an enjoyable and fascinating adventure. Doing the cleanse for 10 remarkable days and then continuing with an essentially vegan meal plan has been wonderful. If interested, you may want to watch the videos and give it a try.
As with most anything, the more you learn about it, the better, so please do your research if you are interested. Personally, I do not want to turn a diet plan into a religion so I am a tad flexible with the diet and am certain I have not had my last ice cream cone!
Enjoy!
I understand that supplementing the meal plan with vitamins K2, D, and B12 is recommended for those who are strict with the life style.

HuffingtonPost.com just published one of my latest articles:
“How the Family Fabric Sustains Us”
It begins:
Some time ago, my niece was feeling bad about herself because of typical teenage stuff: social struggles, body image issues, issues with self-worth, etc. Her father told her, ‘I want you to know I think you are a great kid and I really believe in you.’
She responded by saying, “Yeah. Well sure you would say that because you’re my dad.”
When she told me this, I did my best to convey to her what being part of a family fabric means…
