A Muffin A Day

By Anonymous


I admit sometimes I’m guilty of skipping breakfast. Early in the morning is the last time of day I have an appetite, especially if I’m having a busy morning with lot’s to do. But just by skipping breakfast, however accidental, I’m actually doing more harm to myself than help. It’s a common fact that adults and children alike need to eat breakfast daily. Growing bodies and developing brains rely mainly on eating regularly. Studies have shown that kids who don’t eat breakfast are more apt to be tardy and absent from school as opposed to children who eat breakfast on a regularly. Sleeping those extra minutes to skip breakfast isn’t as helpful in your overall health. It’s even been shown that missing breakfast is strongly linked to obesity! Try this delicious recipe and give breakfast another chance!

Mother Earth, Mother Nature, We the Children & Easter

By
Did you know the first Greek God was actually a Goddess?. he is Gaia, or Mother Earth, who created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over.  Gaia, as Mother Nature, personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth.  Mother Nature is always working to achieve and maintain harmony, wholeness and balance within the environment.
