Food for Thought: The YouTube Farmer

Professional Football Player walks away from a $37 million contract to start a farm to help feel the hungry. At one point, number 60, Jason Brown, was one of the best centers in the NFL. At one point he had a five-year, $37 million contract with the St. Louis Rams. And at one point he […]

Food for Thought: Win or Lose, They’re Already Winners!!! …………. (a.k.a., “Boys to Men”)

Chicago South Side Boys make it to the Little League World Series championship game!!! I'm writing this article the night before the Little League World Championship game against the South Korean team. The team from Chicago, called Jackie Robinson West, from the Great Lake Region of the tournament, are not just throwing baseballs, but throwing […]

Food for Thought: Becoming CEO of “Me, Inc.”

We never know what destiny holds, but August 2014 could be my last month in Corporate America!!! (and good riddance!!!). This HP commercial by Jay-Z inspired me to ask myself, "how would I want my commercial to look for what I call, 'Me, Inc.' ?" That is, how do I see myself in life after […]

Food for Thought: “Heal Thyself” (Part 2)

"The man who says he can, and the man who says he can't………are usually both correct" –Confucius Okay, what the hell is going on here? After never being sick in my life, and my triumphant slaying of "The Beast" (a.k.a., sickness and illness) last Thanksgiving, that I wrote about in Heal Thyself, Part 1, "The […]

Food for Thought: Breast Cancer Awareness — Are we “aware” of Mother Nature’s solutions?

…..or are we just wearing pink, waiting for a "cancer pill" to be invented? When I was doing my "guy thing" on Sunday, watching football all day, I noticed the games were "Pink Overkill". To the point where the penalty flags thrown by the referees were getting confused with pink little towels falling off of […]

Food for Thought: The Day I Forgot My Age (a.k.a., on the road to becoming Caleb)

Caleb was the Biblical character who gave praise to be 85 years old and still feel 40 "Behold, I am eighty-five years old today.  I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me [at age 40]; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and […]

Food for Thought: “Dolce far Niente” (Italian for “The Sweetness of Doing Nothing”)…..

….is a phrase I caught from that movie with Julia Roberts, "Eat Pray Love" I'm your typical guy, football and war movies is the norm, but I live in Seattle and work in Portland Oregon, where I am now, and can be down here at a hotel for weeks at a time. In cases like […]

Food For Thought: Let’s not start trying to prevent a headache by cutting off the head

I'm not trying to make light of someone else's ailment, or be disrespectful, unsympathetic, or judgmental, because I watched this whole process 8 times in a row growing up, with my mother and all 7 of her sisters getting cancer. And I freely admit, it's easy to make "backseat driver" comments about situations we have […]

"Things are never as bad as they seem, you just gotta learn to see the forest for the trees" –Huey Lewis   There is a 222 acre nature park named Tualatin Hills near Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton Oregon, and I started walking through it to get to work, and at lunch, since the weather […]

Food for Thought: The scientific community’s responses to nature’s cancer cures seems somewhat “Nutty”

I'm not trying to disrespect scientists and researchers, I'm sure they are hard working people just like the rest of us. It's perhaps their superiors, and all the "higher ups" in the medical industry, scientific community, and drug industries, and their "Nutty Professor" mindset that I am taking issue with. This quick post came about […]

Food for Thought: “Don’t Give Up, Don’t Ever Give Up” (20 years later)

Man how time flies. Although Jimmy Valvano's greatest moment before 1993 might have been the NCAA Championship last second victory against Houston in 1983 (video below), he would have one even bigger. It happened exactly 20 years ago, most sports fans will never for get former North Carolina Basketball Coach Jimmy Valvano's famous speech upon […]

Unlucky 13: The first 13 years of Genetically Engineered Crops

I sometimes regret that I don't speak enough on my blog against the hazards of eating Genetically Modified Foods, or GMO's. Just for the record, I am a conspiracy theorist at heart, and a person who's natural inclination is to venomously "Rage Against the Machine". However I don't wanna spend the rest of my life […]

Food For Thought: The Sunset Effect

I have a confession to make……………. As much as I use the words , "Zen", "Zen-Master", "Zen Philosophy", "Zen-bla-bla-bla", I don't have a very still mind. Perhaps both good and bad, since I love my active mind, and love the reality of my current "world view", and future possibilities that my mind creates for me. […]

The time has come, I'm ready for the next level in my health and wellness journey.

Food For Thought: Boris Kodjoe reveals the [simple] secret to a man’s happiness (it’s really this simple)

Trust me ladies, it begins and ends here with exactly what he is saying. Every [real] man says it differently  or words it differently, but it is ALWAYS the exact same formula. And Boris, the renaissance man that he is, could say this in four languages if he needed to. Take notes ladies!!!!

Food for Thought: The Mayan Calendar (it WILL be the end of the world…………but we’ll still be here)

……..I'll explain myself. Methinks the Mayan Calendar represented a celestial "long cycle" as I call it. On that fateful day December 21, 2012, the solar system moves into the beginning of another long cycle to last 5125 years. I don't think the world will explode or get hit by an asteroid (and if it does, […]
