Please help Haiti

We encourage you to give what you can to help those in Haiti.

The Red Cross is taking donations and a quick and easy way is to text "Haiti" to 90999 for a quick $10 donation. Or you can make a donation on line to the Haitian Relief and Development Fund. You can also donate at Unicef where 100% of your donation will go towards saving children's lives. American Express Cardmembers enrolled in the Membership Rewards program can redeem points and give them to charity to support Haiti. $1000 points gets you $10. American Express is also one of many credit card companies where you can charge your donation and they will not charge the charity a fee for processing. Others have done this as well, just ask your credit card company.

Georgia O'Keefe at the Whitney

We've all seen the flowers and photographs. And if you are lucky, even visited her museum in Santa Fe and her inspirational home in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Both are so simple and elegant, and her home so ahead of its time. So to further your education in O'Keefe, check out the abstract works on view at the Whitney Museum. Beautiful, different, and the movement and color is peaceful and awesome at the same time. Check it out.

Get Healthy!

It's a New Year with new resolutions and a great time to break old habits and start new healthy routines. Our CEO did a cleanse and loved it so much (and we saw his results) that we all did it. This is not a fast, it's a cleanse so you get to eat but it really helps you break old eating and drinking habits. One of the first things you notice is your complexion clears up, you sleep better, and you really start to notice what you eat. Many people have lost weight and lowered their cholesterol levels. Get all the details here. And Dave is a friend of ours who is always available for advice or questions along the way. We love a personal touch.

And here is some good information from the Harvard School of Public Health on how to get to your healthy weight, what works and what doesn't, and how important your waist size is. Check it out. And finally some healthy and helpful hints from Cooking Light.
