Diabetes can be hereditary, "but as the saying goes, genes load the gun and lifestyle pulls the trigger". The magic in this statement is that the Power is in our Hands, or better yet, our grocery cart. Instead of the usual oh so tantalizing yet unhealthy snacks, a

What is true love?  This is definitely an open ended question because it depends on who is asked.   Some may say it’s the things a couple can provide for one another financially, spiritually, emotionally, and physically.   Others may say say it’s the loving look or the soft touches that’s exchanged between the two.   It can also be argued it's all of those things combined plus some.   On Tuesday, as I watched and listened to President Obama accept another term, I hung onto his every word.   Suddenly, I felt an instant chill as he addressed his lovely wife with the following words: “To Michelle: Let me say this publicly. I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder of watching the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation's First Lady.” The way his eyes lit up and the passion in his voice touched my heart.   Over the past four years, we have watched the soft embraces exchanged by the lovely couple and heard the loving words to pass through their lip
