This quote is an excerpt from a letter that Martin Luther King Jr. wrote in a Birmingham jail on April 16, 1963. I probably read it in school at some point, although I don’t remember being so humbled and challenged as I was when I read it again last night. Whether you’ve read it before or not, I encourage you to take it in today with fresh eyes and an…
Lately I’ve been thankful for… Courage to take the training wheels off, early school drop-offs redeemed by skies on fire, 70-degree weather, palms trees, and big wheels. For time getting to know great-grandma, and time to sleep off bad food reactions. For a full day of learning and dreaming with a new friend, and a fancier place to dream at night.

On March 6, 2010 my friend Mary emailed me a recipe for Mexican Chicken Soup. She sent it to a bunch of our friends from college who had been asking her for recipe ideas because we were, well, awful in the kitchen.

But as someone who suffers from celiac disease and is incredibly…
It’s almost Superbowl time, and you know what that means: Snacks and Commercials! I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping for more ingenuity and a lot less shock value this year. (I’m looking at you, GoDaddy). If you’re short on time, but still want to impress your friends with a stunning appetizer, this tapenade with endive will do it. It takes only a few minutes to whip up, and…
Last October, Jeff went on a 2-week mission trip to Malawi. The team went to several villages, loaded with thousands of pairs of donated glasses, and put on vision clinics. They worked long hours in cramped rooms while people waited hours and even days to be seen. It was all worth it when the right pair of glasses went on the right face and someone could see clearly for the…
Raise your hand if your body is in perfect alignment. …Yeah, me neither. Wendy Powell of MuTu System is here to tell us why proper alignment is important and how to get there. If you’ve ever compared your body in pre-pregnancy pictures to post-baby shots of you looking rounder, softer and ‘still pregnant’, the thought may have crossed your mind that pregnancy wrecked your body. You’d kinda love to have…
