Sometimes you can almost catch it out of the corner of your eye — the souls that surround you. Certainly sometimes you can feel it. The layers and layers and layers of generations of ancestors that have come before you, lived entire lives, and created all the generations of family that culminated in who you are … countless souls looking over you, excited for you, loving on you, watching you, proud of you, experiencing continued […]

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

We’ve know for a long time (and honestly common sense and personal experience tells you this as well) that time spent outside lifts your spirits.

A new study shows that having a sense of optimism about your future actually helps you live longer… much longer!

In fact, the patients who consumed the most chocolate had the most cardio and neurologic protection.
