healthy eating. The leader is serious about preparing whole foods for her family and about free trade products, so she definitely has a slant to her workshops. Last Thursday we met as a group for the first time. She started the evening with the question "what is new and free?" My husband and I had just returned from a stay at a bed and breakfast to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We stayed on the third floor of a Victorian style home, away from all the other guests. We drove to small cities in the area, and ate at the Grill House, featured on Travel TV. On the way home we visited the air museum. We saw exhibits starting with the Wright brothers up to the Space Shuttle. We blasted off on a simulator and flew to the International Space Station. Very fun! In 2012, a plane was dredged up from Lake Michigan where she had sat for 50 some years. She is being refurbished--her engine parts rebuilt and the body repaired. The process will take about five years. I sat in the cabin of a helicopter--no body or engine. It was the only cabin that I was sure I would not have to be shoe horned out of! And the bed and breakfast was the start of a 5 day vacation! So I felt at peace. The second activity was to fill out a form appropriately called "The Circle of Life." We place a dot on a spoke indicating where we think we are regarding career, finance, spirituality, relationships, social life, health, healthy cooking etc. If a dot is toward the center, we might consider working on that "food." The leader said that a joyful, fulfilled person is less likely to head toward food. My homework is to consider a goal, think deeply on why I want to work on that goal, and then divide it into monthly increments. The pilot program lasts two months. I was thinking today that it is so easy for me to prejudge. I will learn in the next months the intricacies of the Integrative Nutrition Program. I am going to take gossip with a grain of salt. I got a load today from my daughter's friend and will be careful about believing it all. You know I heard a very interesting bit on the radio. The speaker was saying that it is how a person makes one feel that attracts. It is not physical beauty or outside attributes. He gave the example of two people talking, and one asks the other, "What do you think of my scar?" The other person responds, "What scar?" I have to remember this in my relationships.

My sister, her husband and daughter, a friend from exercise class and I are participating in a pilot program, "Integrative Nutrition." I thought the pilot was going to be about
