Then mix in some of your favorite fruits like banana, papaya, pineapple and some berries. Blend away and drink up. Stay thirsty my friend.

Being an author, especially if the subject matter of the book presents insights into one’s profession, strengthens the person’s reputation as an authority in that field. That carries impact! Even being part of a collaborative effort among several writers carries professional clout for each author. Charles H. Green is former president of Sunrise Bank, one of the leading SBA lending banks in the United States. He currently is a consultant for small businesses, international businesses operating in the United States and non-profits. Charles wrote The SBA Loanbook: the Complete Guide to Getting Financial Help Through the Small Business Administration. The book is now in its third edition. Jim Hogan collaborated in the writing of Improv to Improve Your Business: Using the Principles of Improvisation to Foster Communication, Creativity & Innovation. One outcome for Jim in having been a part of that collaborative writing adventure was a chance at a new career. Charles Green and Jim Hogan share their unique perspectives on and experience with the “power of the pen” on one’s business and career.
Linda Del Bosque is a Dallas native and the youngest of five kids. From an early age her parents instilled the value of hard work, integrity and values in all of their children. Her experience in helping seniors began as a child as her family spent many hours volunteering at nursing homes. After a couple of years of community college, Linda moved to Chicago to attend design school where she studied interior design. After returning to Dallas, Linda recognized a need for a publication that helped communicate valuable information to senior citizens. She began a newsletter that soon evolved into “Mature Texan Magazine”. Today, her publications reach seniors in Dallas and Tarrant Counties and will soon be expanding to the Houston area. As a non-profit organization they have given back over $100,000 to the communities that they serve and sponsor multiple events for seniors.

Since all movement burns calories – it goes to reason that fidgeting can help you stay fit. But you better be doing a lot of it every day. This kind of incidental physical activity helps but is no substitute for exercise. Sorry but shaking your leg when you watch TV doesn’t replace a cardio workout. But if you park farther away or take the stairs instead of the elevator you will burn more calories and every calorie burned is not one around your waist making your jeans tighter.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away it’s true, especially if you have good aim of course. And as we approach a fave week of celebration for me (National Laughter Week, July 12-18th and, unfairly, a serious back-seater in the holiday line-up rankings), I’ve been called upon to shed a little light on the subject.
Why should you care about National Laughter Week, and why is this important to you??
Well, Mr. & Mrs. Grumpy Shorts, it’ll make you a better person! Healthier, Leaner, Wealthier, Greener. Soooo, Sunshine, keep your peepers right here and I can give you the facts, Jack.
Healthier
Leaner
Wealthier
Greener
Sounds good, right?!?! What I need you to do now is celebrate with me, for reals! Smile, laugh, notice the humor and good feelings in the everyday situations, tell a friend… I’ve based my entire life and career on laughter, and look how fantastic and fit I am. I just did a cartwheel. I know you couldn’t see it, duh, but I did one for you anyways. Now go find the person who makes you laugh the most and give them a big high-five from me. Pass on the love, and remember to Laugh More.
XOXO Sonja

is a Writer, Artist, Mom, and Founder of The Painted LaughTM Art Studio & Gallery, where she paints children’s laughter as Modern Art. She lives a life that does not suck, happily raising her young son and jumping on the backyard trampoline with him almost every day. She laughs a lot and has been known to drink too much Peach Sangria, which in her defense is truly delicious and has a way of sneaking up on people.
Check it.
She invented it.
Epic stuff.
Here’s another of Roni Noone‘s awesome recipes. Her spicy tomato soup with pinto beans recipe from her GreenLiteBites book and blog is delicious. She calls this soup spiced but we called it spicy because our spices are a little hotter than hers. Feel free to spice this recipe to your taste. Grab some condensed tomato soup – low sodium, some water, some of your favorite spices like chili powder, cilantro, cumin. Throw in some real tomatoes and your favorite beans – we go for pinto beans here. Turn that pot on and cook up some dinner.
