Documentaries I Loved

I am still feeling sadness for the Boston bombing victims. This is not a good thing for any of us. We must not let people with problems get the best of us. Those kinds of people will get caught and will be dealt with. It is certain that he/she/they will make a mistake which will lead to their downfall.

Let me deliver a bit of interesting information to you. If you haven't figured it out by now, I am very interested in cooking good foods without chemical additives. It is a passion in my life which I hope benefits my family.

I watched two really great documentaries about food and the impact it has on our health. The first was called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. Sounds morbid, but it was an eye-opener for Joe Cross, whose life was affected by the way he ate. It was very interesting and, in some parts, entertaining the way he gets his findings across to the viewer. He spent 60 days traveling across the U.S. and eating nothing but juices to cleanse his body. He rigged up a juicer in the back of his rental car and interviewed people along the way. I give this one a 5 star out of 5 star rating!

The next documentary was Forks Over Knives. This is a wake-up call from two doctors, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dr. Colin Cambell. They both grew up on farms and they both became doctors. They have done/are doing research on the impact of whole foods on the human body and how it affects disease states. 5 out of 5 stars, again!

If you never watch documentaries, you must watch these two. It will greatly change your way of thinking. Quite possibly, it will change the way you eat.

Take care.

Thoughts for The Day

I didn't have much to write about today...until I called my Hubby while on my way home from work. He sounded really sleepy, like I had just woken him up. He said he was watching the news break - that bombs went off at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

(Momentary silence on my end of the phone.)

You know, these kind of things are happening on a regular basis now-a-days. This is really sad. First, someone bombs a movie theater. Then, someone shoots innocent children in a school. Now, someone(s) place bombs at one of the most prestigious events in the world. Here in the U.S. of A.

What is this showing us? NO ONE is safe anywhere...anymore. Our great country is now at the mercy of domestic and international nutcases.

Are we to stop congregating for special events? Are we going to stop going to malls or the movies?

It comes down to 'What are our neighbors thinking?' and 'Who are our neighbors, really?'

Scary, isn't it.

Heart-wrenching events for those who've lost a loved one. Also, for those who've survived and have to relive the moment in their sleep for the rest of their lives. That is...if they can sleep soundly. I know I'd have problems.

It doesn't matter what status we have in life. We are all affected in one way or another. For some, it is more personal. For others, it is as an onlooker.

Let us take a moment to pray for those people who are affected by horrible situations - past and present.

As Tiny Tim says "God bless us, everyone!"
