I am often saddened to hear people say they are unable to afford to do what it would take to live a healthier life. I am only sad until I open my eyes and take a closer look.

There is a $7 Venti Starbucks Latte, being held onto by perfectly manicured hands. The wrist is supporting a $1500 handbag. The handbag is well equipped with Designer Sunglasses, Cigarettes, Matching designer wallet, the latest GoPro camera and various apple devices that belongs to children to young to haul their own stuff, keys to their luxury German Sport Utility Vehicle, and the very latest iPhone bedazzled in Swarovski case!

Organic produce, or other products supporting a healthy lifestyle must be made a priority.

Top quality products free of synthetics and artificial fillers. Spend a little bit more to get a lot more. An excellent way to really treat yourself and your kids would be to sign up for martial arts classes, learn to play a musical instrument, take a painting or ceramics class, or take the opportunity to learn the art of dance. Start a garden!!!

Too many of us are sitting still for too long, too quietly, staring at a small rectangular glass screen. We came here for more. There is much to experience while you are here. Go on adventures and journeys to other countries. Meet interesting people from other cultures. Start another garden! Learn an teach the art of growing and preparing your own food.

First, use your money to enrich your life. Then, and only then, when all of your true needs are being met by all means indulge in the luxury goods.
