"Natural Forces Within Us, Are The True Healers Of Disease" - Hippocrates You are part of nature. This is a fact. For the last few hundred, the intellect has taken over as the respected and legitimate approach to creating high-quality living. Ancient medicinal and spiritual practices were belittled or even banned. But as my teacher Michio Kushi always taught, from ancient Taoist principles "Everything That Has A Front, Has A Back.

"Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that feeling." - Henry Van Dyke It is so important that we have sacred times to recognize and honour our lives with deep gratitude.

"Never Discourage Anyone Who Continually Makes Progress, No Matter How Slow" - Plato Consistency is one of the key principles in creating success in just about anything. . . those who stay with it, benefit.

Smell the bread, smell the flavor.
