I don’t know about you but I start to glaze over when I hit the supermarket produce section and have to decide what is an absolute must to buy organic and what is ok to go with non-organic.

Rachael, I was just watching the summer rerun of your 1000th show. Loved seeing all of the funny out-takes. When your husband came on to give you flowers I just started to cry. The love he has for you is so evident. Unfortunately the day this show aired is the day before what would have been my 21st anniversary with my husband, had he not passed over last fall. Keep his love close and continue to share it with each other. It is a true gift to be loved so unconditionally.

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back up.
Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
