Thanksgiving. Fragile. Handle with Care.
I am not a doctor, a scientist or a therapist but I often hear about loss in my work as founder of Less Cancer. I too have had significant loss like so many people.
I remember telling my daughter that I was never one of those individuals who knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. To which my daughter replied, "Thank God because clearly there was a bigger plan for you." I did not know exactly what she meant. She continued, "Dad, how could you ever be mystified as to what your calling was? Who could lose as many people as you have to cancer and think you should be anything but the founder of Less Cancer?"

This Simple Bit Of Grocery Store Advice Will Spare You A Lifetime Of Regret
I met a woman from Denmark last week. She's been living in the United States for about a year. I asked her what she liked best about our country.
