When bad things happen to good people we find ourselves asking: “Why me Lord?” Should illness strike it is the same feeling. Do we really suffer misfortunes in life because of bad luck or unexpected events beyond our control? Sometimes we do but mostly we are at cause by omission or commission. Fact is most unfortunate things we experience could have been avoided with better preparation, with better focus or more awareness, with appropriate and timely actions. So in a way we can…

In coaching people into healthier thinking, many of which are trying to lose weight, I share one of my famous quotes: “Your problems are the result of doing too many of the WRONG things and not enough of the RIGHT things.” Sometimes that really sinks in and it encourages people to be more honest and deliberate about improving themselves. Sometimes I think there could be a more positive way to say the same thing. What could be more positive than…
Some years ago David and Martha Welling took a trip to Belgium where they found the town of Ghent was the first town in the world to go vegetarian at least once a week.

In the past health benefits were focused on Medical Insurance and HMO programs to assist workers when they experience sickness; unfortunately, every year health benefit costs have continued to rise because sickness management does not produce healthy employees, it actually contributes to sickness and again higher benefit costs. There is a trend to look at improving the health of workers to…
Christopher Welling is famous for faking sickness just to skip school. It is a technique he devised since a young boy and he is quite the master at it, too. He tells his Mom he is unwell, feigns a stomach problem, says he thinks he is getting a fever and lays down on the sofa. Concerned Mom gets the thermometer and as Christopher is holding it in his mouth, when Mom steps into the other room, he places the thermometer…
