Promoting FREE Naloxone/Narcan day. Luke, the Rite Aid pharmacist, was great. Gave me my free box of 2 with no questions asked, no prescription, and showed me how to use.
As a Michigan Prescription Drug Abuse Commission member, we learned that 130 people a DAY die from opioid abuse in the U.S. This nasal spray can reverse an overdose while happening. I added link to an article with how-to-use video and a list of pharmacies providing free kit today, Sat. 9/14.

Warm up in an arthritis-friendly, nourishing way…Turmeric Ginger Butternut Bisque!
Be gentle on joints by pre-baking a butternut squash before cutting, peeling and deseeding.
Use onions and garlic your grocer chopped. Lightly sauté fresh ginger and turmeric for a jolt of natural anti-inflammatories.
Substitute soy (almond) milk and silken tofu for bone-building and instead of fat-saturated cream.
A hand blender saves hand and elbow joints from heavier blender or processors.
Butternut squash brings cozy, filling warmth to the tummy and packs minerals and vitamin A.
Caldo & Delizioso!
Remembering Great Grandpa Genaro Rizzo on the 100th Anniversary of WWI end. He fought bravely in the rugged and cold terrain of Northern Italy and the Alps, for a war believed to end all wars…
As Uncle Jimmy adds details of valor to the story, Genaro Rizzo was “Knighted (posthumously) for saving an officer from drowning while fording a river on horseback.”

May courage be stoked within each one of us as we remember the Courage of our Ancestors!
All four of my grandparents immigrated to the United States, recognizing its independence and self-governing society. Each Independence Day they reminded me of the precious attributes of our United States of America. Their actions took courage as immense as the ocean liner that ferried them.
May your Fourth of July be filled with freedom, courage, and enjoyment.
Pre-chopped veggies is becoming more available. There are even more interesting combos of chopped veggies for salads, soups, etc. Letting someone else do the chopping helps preserve finger and wrist joints, thus I have NO EXCUSES to not keep up the healthy fresh veggie lifestyle.
Keeping a healthy lifestyle. Its easier all the time!
