I’ve just been spending some time with our daughter at The House of James Christian Bookstore in Abbotsford. What a great place. It has something for every stage and part of your life.

It’s so wonderful that we still have stores like this among the masses of media and materialistic things pumped into our lives. If you’re in need of refreshing and uplifting input to your life, visit your neighborhood Christian bookstore.

I’m always amazed at those that can get things done and still have time to relax and enjoy life. Timothy Ferriss has written a book called the ”The 4-Hour Workweek”. This is a book that I am putting on the top of my reading list.

Then comes the “call to action” – implement some of these techniques in my everyday life.

The following is a short interview with Veronica Belmont on Mahalo Daily.

A glass or two of red wine can help reduce damage from a stroke (at least in mice)! Reuters reports that mice feed resveratrol, found in red grape skins and seeds, suffered less brain damage than those that did not.

Still not sure if this extends to humans, but Europeans have long enjoyed a glass of wine with a meal.

The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) has launched its spring Road Safety & Loss Prevention campaign aimed directly at high school students. Using dark humor, www.nofunbeingdead.com talks directly to youth about the consequences of drinking and driving. With grad parties and warmer weather, our teens are put into situations that demand they make choices. The site includes audio segments from “Ask Death Radio Show”.

Support your teen and let them know about this website and that “It’s No Fun if Your Dead”.

There are prizes for youth who are residents of British Columbia.
