Leverage Human Connection

Balance technology with people

Everywhere we turn, we are asked to download yet another app to make our lives supposedly easier. From doctor’s offices to marts to retail shops, everyone wants a piece of your personal information! Yes, you are trading convenience for privacy. This is the world we live in, and it isn’t the point of my blog…at […]

Perception vs Reality

Japan: Perception vs Reality

  I just returned from a trip to Japan where we toured the Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka regions. If you are on my list, you received Moka’s Amazing Adventures where I detail out our visit and share pictures. We put on 60 miles and saw some incredibly beautiful places. I describe Japan as Seattle meets […]

This book has 101 ways for you to lessen your stress

  YOUR HEALTH              A lot of attention is given to our brains these days, and rightly so! Like everything else, we must challenge the brain to keep it healthy. Did you know, though, that our brains can lie to us? Similar to ChatGPT and other AI programs, our brains will fill in gaps to […]

March 2026

  YOUR HEALTH I thought I would give you an update on my MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), which I was diagnosed with back in October. I followed the low histamine diet strictly for three months, and ALL my symptoms except for weight disappeared. This has got me and my doctor evaluating many issues people […]

Happy birthday mom!

We Have Problems

Marriage is full of challenges

I recently re-watched the 2009 comedy/romance movie Couples Retreat starring Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Batement, and others. It is rated PG-13 due to language and sexual scenes, although fairly mild. The premise is four couples go to a remote, tropical island to work on their marriages. One couple manipulated the others to join them, […]

Success takes work

YOUR HEALTH My MCAS diagnosis has forced me to dive deeper into natural alternatives that aid our health. One such find is Caraway. I remember this spice from my childhood, and in all honesty, I don’t think it ever got used, and the bottle just collected dust. I removed it from my rack until I […]

Have a beautiful Christmas

  YOUR HEALTH             I may have shared with some of you recent developments with my health, and I have blogged what I have learned about histamines and their important function. The bottom line: I have been diagnosed with my third uncurable disease. On one hand, I am grateful to my doctor who has spent […]
