Lori Brothers: Make your meals visually appealing
With Valentine’s Day being this week, I became nostalgic about the “romantic dinners” I would create with the kids. One that is particularly memorable is the time I decided to have a fondue party. I had, of course, a pot of melted chocolate for dipping strawberries, bananas and caramel squares. We also had a cheese pot for dipping a variety of breads.

Lori Brothers: Get connected for better health
I am always happy when I see the lifesaving value of connection happening around me. It makes my heart smile when many people spontaneously unite. There is a feeling of excitement and community. Everyone gets onto the same page, when often the pages are scattered.

Lori Brothers: Organic is good, but it’s not always necessary
How often do you have a great conversation with your produce man? I encourage it. I got quite an explanation about how organic veggies are handled. I also found out there are certain guidelines about where they can even be located to be sold as “organic.”

Lori Brothers: Winter’s here; be sure to keep moving

Lori Brothers: Plant some seeds with that resolution
Ever since I was a girl, I considered the end of August, into September, the time to reflect. I’d look back on what had happened over the year, and plan to start anew. It still tends to be my time of reflection and review. If you have school-age children, you know what I mean.

Lori Brothers: Being joyful is a choice, not a voice
When I was younger a voice inside my head was like Eeyore the donkey from Winnie the Pooh. It would creep in when I perceived something I didn’t like or had low self-confidence, “Why should I try to cross the river … I’ll only fall in.”

Lori Brothers: Social support promotes better health
Recently, I took a call from a woman who heard about the Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease. The program was mentioned on a Christian radio broadcast.

Lori Brothers: Don’t let your good habits give way to holiday treats
One of my favorite movies of all time is “Gone with the Wind.” It must be the epic melodrama, plus the spotlight on the old south that grabs my interests. I watch it at least once a year, usually during a winter snowstorm, when the right thing to do is hunker down and wait it out.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if every day were like Thanksgiving? There would be more cooperation, more appreciation and a lot of positive expectancy.
