On Wednesday, 11/2, we want to celebrate, grieve, hope and pray with all the people that you and we know who are battling cancer, won the battle over cancer, as well as for those who lost a loved one to cancer. For those of you who would like to join us in prayer this Wednesday, these […]
What! It’s time to be thinking about Holidays? Do you ever think how we eat our way through the calendar? November – Thanksgiving; December – Christmas; January – New Year’s Day and the Super bowl (Go Hawks!). If we are not intentional about what we eat, the Grocery Manufacturers of America (GMA) will be. The […]
Hope is a necessary ingredient in the battle against cancer. We must believe that healing is possible and hope is an underlying cornerstone for healing to happen. Without hope, hopelessness is left and we can’t have that; we must have hope. Since we started sharing about cancer this month, the ground swell of support and […]

We just finished harvesting green, yellow and purple beans. Originally, I had planted two different plantings, with a […]
I am not surprised that the Senate and House of Representatives cast their votes to send the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act to President Obama to sign, but I am saddened that President Obama signed it, and so willingly!
