Colloidal Silver:  Around 1998 my dad had a little pimple like thing above the knuckle on his ring finger.  When he squeezed it, it started to spread.  The next day a portion of his hand turned purple.  The day after that almost his whole hand turned purple…  After visiting the doctor, he found out it […]

Inventory:  When doing inventory, whether it be monthly or annually, make sure it makes sense, simplify the process as much as is possible for everyone’s sake.  Have sheets that have items laid out the way they are in the store or, so you are not bouncing around looking for things, which can be time consuming.   […]

Family:  Like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one.    Even if we aren’t on the same page or in the same city, family is family – we are rooted – even if the relationship has been damaged or broken, or is going strong.    Not all family […]

When nothing goes right, go left:  Everything is about perspective and attitude.  When we start to have a bad day, we tend to start off on the wrong foot and it seems to follow us throughout the day if we don’t shift our thinking from negative to positive.  So, remember this little saying – when […]
