This coming July 4th will be an important one. While we will not have the same kinds of crowds with fireworks and all the hoopla, it will be a great time to show how grateful we are to live in a country like ours.
Practicing Kindness
This year has been difficult for most of us. Instead of wallowing or focusing on the negative, I’m of the mindset that we should be proactive in practicing kindness. Kindness can be shown in so many different ways. Below, I’ve listed ten ways you can practice or offer up some kindness in the world.
Oh My, Okra!
Okra! Okra. It’s not a vegetable that gets everyone excited, but it should be. Okra is a great source of vitamins and minerals, especially fiber. Not only that, okra is great for a number of uses, not just for its nutritional value. You often see it in dishes like gumbo, breaded or fried. But between you and me, there are some other great dishes that are great for your waistline as well as your taste buds.
Immune-Boosting Foods
It’s crazy out there right now! Between the threat of COVID-19 around every corner, avoiding social contact, spring/summer allergies, and Mother Nature’s latest developments (murder hornets coming to the United States along with a giant dust plume from the Sahara), there are plenty of reasons why you should try to keep your body in tip-top shape.
Curtain Up

According to Inc. magazine, there are three mental health habits that help people access resilience during stressful (stay-at-home order) times.
The Power of Celery
It’s that time of the year when the weather is changing, flowers and crops are in bloom, and I start looking for ways to stay healthy and cool at the same time. While keeping my ears tuned into the latest food trends, I’ve noticed that celery has been on the tips of everyone’s tongues and disappearing from grocery stores. So, let’s talk about this fascinating vegetable, shall we?
Houseplants That Clean Your Air!
These are some crazy times we are living in. No matter where you are from—New York or California, the United States, Italy or Japan—we are all going through the same anxieties, worries and concerns. We’re all stuck at home to ensure safety for ourselves as well as others. We’re all in this together.
Reflecting on the Great Depression
While millions of Americans are out of work and panic stricken as to how they are going to put food on the table, it is encouraging to remember how Americans responded to an even greater challenge three-quarters of a century ago.
Blackberries: Big Flavor, Bountiful Benefits
Blackberries are fun and beautiful fruits that can be found in many places around the world. There is research suggesting that people have been eating blackberries for thousands of years. I love blackberries. They are delish!
