If you have not seen this video already, I highly recommend it. This is a video prepared by a teenager, Ben Breedlove, who passed away from heart problems on Christmas. Shortly before he passed away, he made this video about his condition and near-death experiences. It is interesting and inspiring & I can imagine it has given his family a lot of hope. Check it out!

Happy 2012!
I have been horrible at posting and received an update today with different stats, etc. and realized that this is something that is fun for me & I should start back up again! Life got busy and then I found out I am pregnant and so I let this fall to the side. I am having quite a few complications with my pregnancy and am largely bed bound, so this will be a fun outlet to try different recipes, do some focused Internet searches & give me something to do! On that note, I wish everybody a happy and health New Years and 2012!

TIP: Live Well Now
I heard about this article on the radio when I was pulling into work, and I had to find it because I thought it was so well put. Basically there was a nurse, Bronnie Ware, who nursed dying people for years in palliative care. She made a few observations of people who were nearing the end of their life. First of all, every person found their peace. Second of all, when asked about regrets or things they would do differently, there were five things that she kept hearing (starting with the most common):
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. People wish that they had honored the dreams that they had.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard. This came from every single male patient that she nursed. They felt that they missed out on their children and spouse and a dissatisfaction with the "treadmill of a work existence."
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. Tell people what you are thinking -- too many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others, but then they did not have peace.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. People often regretted becoming too caught up in their own lives and let their friendships slip by over the years. "It comes down to love and relationships in the end."
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. Most people didn't realize that happiness is a choice, they were afraid of change and too worried about what others think.
