The Last Dance with My Husband: Finding Joy in Sorrow
Dancing in the mall. Yes, the middle of the mall. Jason grabbed me and I didn't resist. Most of the time I would have resisted. Me, the self-conscious one, not wanting to make a fool of myself in front of others. But this time I didn't care. I'm glad I didn't. I danced. I smiled. I laughed. I distinctly remember thinking how thankful I was for this wonderful man...how happy I was that I was living life with him. We learned a lot about relationships and life in the five years we were married. We did a lot of growing up in those years. We laughed, played, fought, made-up, dreamt, and philosophized together. We had ...Read More

Producers ship them off to your local supermarket, devoid of the beneficial bacteria necessary for gut health. There, workers place them on the shelves for you to purchase. But you won't get the health benefits from them that you will from eating fermented foods with live bacteria! What Does Fermentation Have to do with Bacteria? There are a number of foods and beverages that can be fermented: ...Read More
