THANKSGIVING AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE!
I love to start my day with Thanksgiving. I believe as we count our good fortunes it attracts blessings. Al Manning would say what we give our attention multiplies.

I typically start my morning with “Thank you Father for a day.” I am then thankful for birds that sing...

Strategic Planning: Framing it as a Theory
Like in science, business theories constantly should be challenged. The word theory comes from the Greek word theōria, meaning speculation or contemplation. While we think of theories in the scientific domain, businesses also live in theories (in business parlance, think assumptions, projections, budgets, speculations, and so on). They project what is possible or plausible to happen given expectations about the future. This is no...
Durango Hot Springs gets $14 million makeover
DURANGO, Colo. (KREX) — As magma heats the water underneath the Earth’s surface, the water forces its way out of the ground and spews out as a geyser. One geyser formed a hot spring which has been around for thousands of years, used by ancient Puebloans before the Utes. In the late 1800’s, Frank Trimble bought this single natural pool and started to market it to the public. More than a century later, this ancient hot spring has grown...

My educational background is in psychology and neuroscience. I’m a brain research junkie and read the latest studies each and every week. For the past three years or so, I have focused my attention on neurodegenerative diseases — mainly Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. As I became more interested in nutrition, I began to focus more on the impact that diet (and other lifestyle factors) have on the brain. Just as the foods you eat influence...
