Keep on Doing the Do's

Keep on Doing the Do's

Don't be self-righteous
Don't try to dominate, nag, scold and complain
Don't lose your temper
Don't try to push anyone but yourself
Don't keep bringing up the past
Don't keep checking up on others
Don't wallow in self-pity
Don't make threats you don't intend to carry out
Don't be over-protective
Don't be a doormat

Do forgive
Do be humble
Do take it easy, tension is harmful
Do play, find recreation and hobbies
Do keep trying whenever you fail
Do learn the facts about your problem
Do attend meetings/social gatherings
Do pray

Putting Hunger Out of Business with Kevin Harper of Food On The Move

Putting Hunger Out of Business with Kevin Harper of Food On The Move

Kevin Harper joins me on the Playful Life and I honestly feel this is one of the best discussions I've had about playfulness. He is the President and CEO of Food On The Move in Tulsa, OK. The organization was founded by local Tulsa artist Taylor Hanson of the band Hanson. Food On The Move is an innovative mobile food initiative that has been working to end food deserts since 2014 through mobile food events and a long-term strategy to foster the return of permanent grocery stores and healthy food systems. The monthly program events bring together a diverse group of mobile partners in non-profit, for-profit, and government to host ongoing pay-as-you-can events that offer fresh produce, prepared meals, and access to community and health resources.

Kevin helps FOTM focused on ending food insecurity one community at a time through food distribution, educational programs, workforce development, health assessments, and innovative solutions. He shares about his life's journey from being a pastor, to serving the marginalized in Africa, to landing in middle America. 

His story and his vision are sure to inspire you to take action in your own community. I guarantee you will walk away from this podcast with motivation, hope and a new perspective on what it means to live The Playful Life.

The epidemic hiding in your pantry.

The epidemic hiding in your pantry.

Ever wonder the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes?  Why is diabetes a disease you don't want to develop? Can you prevent diabetes? What are some preventive measures you can do today to lower your risk and prevent diabetes in yourself and future generations? Diabetes has steadily grown as one of the most prevalent diseases in America. Nearly 9% of Americans have been diagnosed with diabetes, either Type 1 or Type 2. But what about Type 3 Diabetes? Otherwise known as insulin resistance or prediabetes, many more Americans, almost 30%, are at risk. What's most shocking about this epidemic? You hold the key to prevention and possibly even the cure.

Judy Gilman, NP and Certified Diabetes Educator, has dedicated most of her professional career as a nurse practitioner and now her retirement to providing education about diabetes, it's risks, complications, prevention and treatment. I am very honored to have her on the podcast to educate listeners about this rapidly growing epidemic.
