Sugar-free no bake cookies
Last week I visited my family. Rather than being encouraging in my quest to be sugar-free, they were discouraging. I heard multiple times how it was ‘just genetics’ and I should ‘accept that I would become a diabetic’. No doubt this attitude was fueled by the fact that they are already required to use medication to try to manage their blood-sugar levels. I say try because it seems the attempts are less than successful. It has taken me about a week to recover from the familial visit (and yes, my family has this affect on every aspect of my life), but I am back on track! So today I will share with you my latest fascination… Sugar-Free No Bake Oatmeal Cookies! When I was in The rest of the story
Can you Catch your Dream?
Dream Catcher Lore: Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by.

It was just really intense today… JV” Little did I know that I was beginning a love affair that would open doors, create friends, and change my world. Twitter turns five today.

Twitter is a business tool you can’t afford to leave in the tool box
I oft find that people who have never use twitter think it is just a place to post what you had for breakfast or other random uninteresting information. What they don’t realize is that while there is a certain amount of random information available, there is also good and informative information available. I for one, rarely watch television news. I don’t need to; it is all available via twitter. If I am looking for a hair cut, I ask on twitter. I have discovered some of my favorite restaurants via twitter. The list of uses for twitter is endless. I have a great many interests and twitter allows me to follow all my favorites, in real time. From the tour de France to my beloved The rest of the story
