October is breast cancer awareness week. I worked with the Warriors In Pink for 2 years and got to know many survivors of breast cancer. These women were my age, they were my mother’s age and each story was encouraging as they survived but no less shocking. How could a nurse under the age of […]

Is organic really better for you? That is a question many people wonder when they compare prices at the grocery store.
