Fresh Farm Eggs, Did You Know?

Please make sure to always wash your hands after touching fresh farm eggs. Wash the shell before cracking.

Unwashed farm eggs retain a natural protective coating called the "bloom" or cuticle, which seals pores to block bacteria and maintain freshness. They can be stored at room temperature for 2–3 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 3–6 months. Washing removes this layer, requiring immediate refrigeration.

Words: What are they good for anyway?

“Single” doesn’t mean a heart is available and free. Married doesn’t mean a heart is not available and trapped.” -Stacey Cook (Added one of my scarlet macaw Costa Rica pictures for fun. He had no mate in sight, "Single" and hanging out with me. The safety guy says, "They are not that friendly. Plus, I don't see his mate.". Therefore, the conclusion, he must have been bitten by a snake and was dying. Maybe the last hours of his life, all because he was "Single".) Why in the h-e-double hockey sticks would I say, “Words, what are they good for anyway”? I will explain. Words are just that, words. What gives them meaning are the attachments such as beliefs, culture, emotions, experiences, commitment, behavior, and character to name a few. For example, “Single” might mean “I am not married,” simple as that. For others, it might mean, “I am available to have fun”. I will let you guess what kind of fun I mean. Words are used to he...

What the Hell!

What the Hell (WTH) is a common phrase used in “frustration”. We all have WTH moments. This short blog is about a transition from WTH to WTF to Now What to You Got This . It was a typical Sunday morning at the tail end of January. I got up around 4 am, finished a few updates to a training course, then my oldest son and I headed out the door for our tennis lesson. We left a bit early because of ice on the road. On the way, I felt the compelling urge to explain how to drive on ice. This interrupted his earbud music playing on the passenger side, that is never good. Our conversation turned into a debate, “Mom, I know physics.”. We arrived at the court and started our warm up. I was on the add side and Jake was on the deuce side. We were sharing the indoor court for our lessons. I remembered feeling pretty good about my timing and how easily the ball was going over. Then I went for one of my favorite s...

Becoming an Intrapersonal Storm Chaser - What is That?

Becoming an Intrapersonal Storm Chaser – What is That? This article is about learning to notice fear, understand where it shows up, and approach it with support instead of shame. I am not writing as an expert or therapist. I am writing as someone who spent years avoiding certain storms and finally decided to study them instead of running from them. Never enter the eye of the storm until you have taken the time to know them, identified a team (therapist, trusted friends), and have tools to use for the different storms, similar to what a physical storm chaser would do before going into the eye of a tornado. What works for me may not work for you or my future self. We are always changing. For example, I used to hate running, now I love it. Ironically enough it became one of my most valuable tools. You might be asking, what is the eye of the storm? It is one of the calmest parts of a physical storm, but it can also be one of the most dangerous places to enter. From an intraperso...
