Today's selection -- from The Mexican Wars for Independence by Timothy J. Henderson.

Grow Out of Your Past October 21, 2019
The following quotation inspired today's short post.Much of the negativity that infects people is a result of habitual patterns of behavior which result from patterns of thought.After all, thought comes first, then behavior. People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable […]

Losing Weight by Mona Risk October 21, 2019
In our culture it’s easy to pack up pounds and indulge into eating calorie-dense food. Our body wasn’t designed to overeat high-fat, processed food. While we sit in front of the computer or TV, our body simply converts all this high calorie food into billion of fat cells. Over the years, I tried every diet […]

We’re talking broccoli, Brussels, cabbage, kale, collards, cauliflower, carrots, beets, onions, garlic, to name a few. These plants do not like temperatures in the 80’s and above, so now is the perfect time to get them in the ground. They’ll […]

Hot Pepper Plant September 13, 2019
So I’m officially jealous of the Eustis High School hot pepper plant. I grow lots of peppers–hot, sweet and Hungarian–and my plants have NEVER grown larger than 18″ in height. Ever. Imagine my surprise when I visited the high school this week to discover this enormous pepper plant! I stopped. Blinked. And double-checked the fruit […]
