Well…it’s that time of year again…”TREAT” time.  The goblins are out, treats are being bought and we are all ready to hear that ol’ saying, “Trick or Treat’“.  I wish Halloween could turn into one of those healthy, natural even organic times of the year!  Well..at my house it will be.  I am just finishing up my third batch of …

Every Thanksgiving, I try to do something for others ..I guess it is what I think Thanksgiving is really about..not about stuffing myself with Turkey but proactively doing something!  This weekend my husband and I spend two full days (8 hrs and more) helping take care of the needy dogs rescued in September from a commercial breeding facility near Ottawa-the largest such …

There  are a few topics I can talk about for hours…obviously dogs…but also…green living and nutrition.  I decided a few years ago to try and REALLY understand health and wellness, because I felt that I had too much of a concentration on dieting and losing weight, but never knew what it meant to do so in a truly “healthy” way. …

I always felt I could somehow justify it because …
