Happy Birthday an A' That

January 25th is Robert Burns birthday. He is probably most famous for writing Auld Lange Syne which is sung around the world at the stroke of midnight on New Years Eve. My mom is the one who introduced me to Robert Burns. When she was just a wee lass she would recite Burns poetry in school.

When I brought this up again Marilyn told me that the idea of the Smile Diet had come from another great public speaker, Mary Marcdante, in her book Living with Enthusiasm . So to start the month off check out Living with Enthusiasm either at your local library or

POWER FOODS ON THE ROAD * This past summer we logged thousands of miles moving kids to college, attending weddings, visiting relatives and just general commuting. The word "diet" was not even allowed this summer. It was hard enough to keep up with the calendar of events let alone think about what to eat or not to eat. But when you have a family to think about (several people with several different food preferences and allergies) you have to think about power foods to keep you energized through every adventure. Here are 5 tips I learned from our summer on the road to keep yourself healthy 1. KEEP IT SIMPLE Planning ahead can really help you keep it simple. I have had a love a
