Your Life and a Pot of Boiling Water It is dinner time and you’re hungry for pasta, so you throw a pack of spaghetti into a pot of water. Except you don’t boil the water first, in fact, you don’t boil the water at all. Ten minutes go by and you’re wondering why all you’ve [...]

Feeding Your Senses, Nourishing Your Soul

I just watched the movie Tortilla Soup again, and if you haven’t seen it, it truly is a feast for your eyes, as well as your soul. It is a feel good movie. Carmen, one of the daughters, asks a friend, “Do you know why we clink wine glasses when we are sharing a glass of wine? It [...]
