We need to demand that our food is labeled, especially genetically modified foods, and learn how it is produced, processed, and grown.

I have two pairs of stretchy maternity leggings and jeans, which I will never give up, because once you experience an elastic band for a waist, you will never go back.

I have so many girlfriends in their twenties who live in a white box apartment, having mediocre meals with mediocre friends, waiting for the life they want to hit them in their forties or fifties. They are settling in the now - what's the point?

I do what I do because my favorite thing is to learn.

After my first week of no wheat, my stomachaches were gone, my mucous cleared up, and I felt incredibly energetic. My headaches were also less frequent and less severe, and I had lost 3 pounds, most of it swelling and water weight my body had been holding onto as part of its response to the wheat products in my diet.

I am proactive and looking to change my own behavior rather than others' - which is generally much more successful!

Worrying is just a prayer for the worst possible scenario.
