A Health Plan for America Begins with the Basics
A new health plan for America is the current and constant topic up for debate and it seem that everyone has an opinion. The only agreement is that we all need to stay as healthy as possible and enjoy the highest quality of life, but there are more keys to good health than doctors, hospitals and drugs. The building blocks of good health are fresh air, clean water, a balanced diet, proper exercise, rest and deep, peaceful sleep. When all the life sustaining components are met in harmony and balance, then health risks are reduced; add in a dose of love and companionship and we will all feel...
Read MoreThe key to living in any area that is storm prone is being prepared
The November 2009 Nor’ Easter is now history, but damage throughout Hampton Roads remains. I faired well. My little house sustained no damage and with the exception of no electricity for nearly 30 hours, I was unharmed and maybe a bit wiser and more grateful as a result. Without electricity, some of the luxuries we assume are basic in our life cease to function. Without electricity my computer was unable to operate and I found myself suffering from writer’ s withdrawal. Finally, by candle light, with paper and pencil, I recorded my thoughts and inspirations; it was quite...
Read MoreAmericans Spend 26 Years of Their Life Asleep
Think about this for a moment: the average American will spend about 26 years of their life asleep – that’ s 227,760 hours! The quality of those sleeping hours can have a profound effect on one’ s life. Sleep, nutrition, fresh air and proper exercise are the foundation of a good life; without these key ingredients, we become slothish and generally unhealthy. By contrast, good sleep allows us to be alert, healthy and much happier; our lives become enhanced and more fulfilled. Our academic, social, family and work accomplishments expand in direct correlation to our sleep...

They might seem like adults sometimes and they might seem like small children at other times – it’ s the time in life when physical, biological, psychological and behavioral changes are occurring at lightning speed. Your son or daughter is no longer a child and not yet an adult – they have grown beyond adolescence but are not quite adult (NQA). As an NQA, your child faces adult decisions but is still dependant on you, at least in part, for financial and emotional support. Your child longs to complete the transition into adulthood but still needs your steady hand and...
Read MoreLet’ s Start a New American Tradition
As the 4th of July holiday approaches, we should be thinking about more than pyrotechnic displays and hotdogs. Sure, family and friends gathering together is great, but let’ s not forget the true purpose of this National Holiday; American Independence Day is the birthday of our Country. This year, as a true patriot, perhaps the best way to celebrate America’ s ” break-a-way” from foreign governing is to invest in American made merchandise – give a gift of love to someone with an American manufactured product. By doing so, you not only show someone that you care...
Read MoreAn Organic Mattress Vacation
I just got off the phone with a woman in Alabama. She was calling because she had been on a mission to find a local retailer that carried natural latex mattresses. Her search process had been futile; locally, there were no dealers other than chemical foam retailers. She explained to me that her husband refused to allow her to purchase a mattress online without first trying it; that’ s a common issue we face here at Organic Comfort Zone. Fortunately, Organic Comfort Zone / CozyPure are located in a beautiful area that allows our distant shoppers to combine a trip here to shop for...
