Overcommitted?

“Time is a precious commodity.  Be sure to invest it wisely.”  So says Henry Blackaby – and he has identified my days well – just see what fits for you in his description: These days we are bombarded with opportunities that entice us to invest our time and energy.  Each day the voices of urgency

A Bit More on Biting Bugs

A few weeks ago, I blogged on a natural essential oils recipe you could use as Bug Repellent – mostly focusing on those pesky (and disease-carrying) mosquitos.  Back Off You Biting Bugs  – Candy McCune In that blog I addressed the DEET-based insect repellents as well as my position on being more “natural” in response.

Back Off You Biting Bugs 

It’s that time of year again – and I am back in my least-favorite position.   Don’t know if you are like me, but I am usually the first in the crowd chosen by those annoying gnats or biting bugs like mosquitoes and even horseflies (they have a stinging bite). So I am pulling out my

Traveling?  Consider this…

Maybe you already know this and have it handled.  But if you don’t, I think you would really appreciate knowing about it. Do you travel out of the country?  Or have plans to do so?  Or do you expect to go in the future? If so, have you dealt with “traveler’s diarrhea”?   Ugh, Candy,

Healthy Aging

An article caught my eye when it mentioned growing up in the 1950s — I can relate to that period.  But at that time, I was focused on growing older only in terms of getting to high school (it’s all relative, right?).   And, of course, the huge importance placed on reaching 21 was the next

The Healthy Alternative Author Has More….

Recently, after blogging about sugar (“By Any Other Name”), I shared a couple of video clips from my interview of friend and author, Nicolette Dumke.  When allergies threatened the health and happiness of not only her early life but that of her son Joel, she set to work creating food recipes to work around allergies

There IS a Healthy Alternative

A few weeks ago I blogged about sugar (“By Any Other Name”…click HERE to read it).  Actually, I was focused on the “added sugar” problems and truly encouraged reading labels in order to eliminate or highly reduce the fructose in added sugars which is linked to some major health issues.  Not to mention how toxic

By Any Other Name

A popular adage prompts my title and focus in this blog – “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet.  Juliet is arguing that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family’s rival – the house of Montague.   Whatever his name, she loves him.  So

Move It – or Lose It

Moving your body is the best thing you can do for it. And let’s face it – our lives are structured in a way today that makes it very easy to avoid movement.  We sit in cars on the way to…wherever.  We sit at our desks/computers for much of the day.  When at home, we
