Day 8: Eat Something Green


Green is the color of energy, healing, and life. 

And when it comes to food, green equals nutrient power. Today, challenge yourself to add at least one green vegetable to every meal—or make one dish completely green!

Think spinach in your smoothie, kale chips as a snack, sautéed bok choy or asparagus with dinner. Try something new—maybe arugula, collards, or even a green soup.

Why green? 

Because these foods are packed with chlorophyll, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins that support digestion, detoxification, heart health, and glowing skin. 

They help alkalize the body and strengthen your immune system.

Pro tip: 

Combine greens with a healthy fat like avocado or olive oil to boost nutrient absorption. 

Your body will thank you.

Snap a photo of your green plate and share it—let's inspire each other to eat vibrant!

Yes yes I know it's Sunday but do it anyway, add more greens to your meal!

Pot, Poker, and Priorities: When a Community Bets Against Its Own Future

Image
There’s a mind-boggling trend happening in some communities: a baffling choice to legalize marijuana and gambling while rejecting or indefinitely delaying infrastructure projects like cruise ship facilities that could bring sustainable, long-term economic growth. One has to pause and ask — where did this type of thought process even come from? How did the priorities get so inverted? Let’s call it what it is: a bet on instant gratification over generational progress. The Economics of Escapism Marijuana and gambling are often marketed as economic stimulants — easy tax revenue, job creation, tourism magnets. But these industries primarily cater to escapism . They thrive not on productivity but on indulgence. And while there may be short-term wins in licensing fees or increased consumer spending, they are also tied to social costs: addiction, crime, healthcare strain, and a distracted workforce. Now, compare that to a cruise facility — a gateway to tourism dollars, entrepreneurship, cu...

When Owing You Money Isn’t a Crime… Until You Try to Get It Back

Image
Let’s talk about one of the biggest jokes in “justice” — when someone owes you money, refuses to pay, and somehow you have to cough up even more money just to hire a lawyer and maybe get it back. We’re told it’s “ civil, not criminal .” Translation: “Yes, we agree they owe you. Yes, they’re refusing to pay. But no, we won’t lift a finger unless you bring us a shiny lawsuit wrapped in legal fees.” Here’s the insanity: If you take a loaf of bread from a store without paying, the police will be at your door before you’ve finished your sandwich. If someone takes thousands from you, signs a contract , admits the debt , and then ghosts you — suddenly the law treats it like a polite disagreement between friends. The logic? Non-existent. The message? Clear: The system doesn’t care unless there’s a criminal code number they can quote. The Injustice Loop They owe you money. You can’t get it without a lawyer. The lawyer costs more than the debt is worth. You’re told ...

The first Handshake- Hee hee

Image
In my last post, I shared how powerful it feels to be recognized by someone when traveling — that moment when a familiar face turns a sea of strangers into a sense of belonging. It’s a reminder that we are all nobody until we are somebody to someone. But there’s another kind of recognition that carries just as much impact — meeting someone for the first time in person after years of only chatting online or connecting over video calls. In today’s world, so many of our professional relationships start digitally. We exchange messages on LinkedIn, collaborate on projects over Zoom, or brainstorm ideas through endless email threads. Trust, rapport, and even friendship are built in these virtual spaces long before we ever share the same room. And then one day, it happens. That handshake. That first face-to-face conversation with someone you’ve “known” for years. Suddenly, this person isn’t just a name in your inbox or a voice on a call — they’re real, present, and invested. This ...
