When in Rome

When in Rome…

Listen on Spotify When the sun rises over Rome, a new city is born. Rome leaves behind her nighttime alter ego and becomes a much different city in the daytime. The tourists come out during the day pointing their cameras at everything that resembles history and the locals try and sell them every trinket under the sun in order to make a euro. Rome welcomes everyone and knows that she will be standing long after both the tourists and even the locals are long gone. Rome is a survivor. When you have been around as long as Rome there is […]

The Power of Magnets

The Power of Magnets

“There’s something I want to show you,” Adi said to me one day.  This is always the way it starts.  Adi discovers something and I become her guinea pig. “We need to start using magnets to help with our healing.” I drank in this statement and nodded my head without saying anything.  Picture Homer Simpson staring blankly back at Marge, and you will get an idea about my state of mind.  Finally, I responded with the only thing I could think to say: “Magnets?” I replied rhetorically.  “Like refrigerator magnets?” “Yes, but there’s more to it than that,” she responded.

Oil Pulling

Oil Pulling

Unveiling the Ancient Secret:  I was in the shower the other day and Adi said to me, “Hey, there’s something I want you to try.  Reach your head out of the shower.” In my mouth went  a spoonful of Coconut Oil. “Don’t swallow that and when it melts begin swishing it around your mouth,” she further instructed. “a#$%adghtkv&*&*#@” I tired my best to say to her with a mouthful of this paste in my mouth.  (Translation:  “How long do I need to swish?”) “15-20 minutes,” she said.  We’ve been married a long time, she understands my mumbles.  “And when you’re
