It is very important to feel happy. There's no question about it.

Our point of attraction is at its strongest when we are orbiting in a good, happy head space.

But what if the key to happiness to making other people happy?

When you hear the word psychopath, you probably aren't thinking of animals.

But scientists have developed a questionnaire to determine if your feline friend is, well, a psychopath.

Here is the link to the questionnaire if you are tempted to find out...or if you have a pretty good idea already and just want expert confirmation! HAHAHA.

I'm not a vegetarian or a vegan, nor am I implying that you should become either one.

But there is clear evidence that consuming red and processed meats in large quantities is not good for our overall health and well being.

A new study links red and processed meats with an increase in your chance of having a stroke.

The "old" me would have laughed at and ridiculed this effort to cut back on single use plastic in Happy Meal toys.

The me of today thinks it's a damned good idea and I applaud McDonald's for plans to do this.

There's no question about it. These are exceptionally stressful times.

Between the Pandemic, wildfires, floods, political bickering, war, and overall uncertainty, it's astonishing sometimes that we are doing as well as we are.

There's a LOT to be stressed about.

This episode will hopefully give you some coping strategies.
