For years I’ve been an avid jar sauce user. It’s so cheap and simple that you wonder what else they could put in there other than tomatoes, and a little of this and that. But when you look at the ingredients list, there is sugar and high fructose corn syrup in many of the store-bought […]
Scattered lives happen. And they aren’t really fun to live, are they? So many people take life as it comes to them. They follow the prescription, follow the path and never stray too far from the sidewalk. They get distracted or just coast along, too tired to focus, just hoping to maintain their way through […]

In the past, you’ve made the excuses. You’ve wanted to do better. You’ve known the frustration of ill-fitting clothes and low energy levels. But that’s the past. Now it’s time to make a change.
