We were stuck for 2 hours on the Sunshine Skyway bridge over Tampa Bay today due to a fatal accident. Watching everyone get out of their vehicles, take selfies, throw footballs, fish, and wonder when they’d get home - while someone was dead just yards ahead - reminded me of my days in TV news, which were filled with these odd juxtapositions of both the most humbling moments and those of routine frivolity. Most people were probably just hoping the road would reopen, though perhaps for a few seconds they considered the life and death of the person up ahead. It will be the same for all of us someday. Few will remember or even care. Even those who are hoping money or power will save them, those who may end up in a history book, will still meet the same fate. And though this seems a morose Easter message, I find it to be oddly fitting for the day we Christians remember our only hope. There is no identity that will last, no bank account, fame or statue that will save us - for dust we are and to dust we shall return. May our loving Father welcome home whoever it was ahead of us today.
A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.
Who is ready for Thanksgiving dinner?? I am 45 and never knew you could just wear goggles while cutting onions. Big thanks to my six-year-old who figured it all out on her own.
I protect my teeth so I can eat all that pumpkin pie by taking a daily dose of the fermented cod liver /concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts - I used to get chronic cavities and started taking this about 15 years ago. Long before I changed my diet. It swiftly ended my problem. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Sassy takes smaller bites now that she is 33 but she still has all her teeth! Sundae (our milk goat) only has teeth on the bottom jaw (normal for goats) so she typically loses the apple eating contest.
Speaking of teeth, I used to get cavities all the time. I was likely vitamin D deficient. But I may have been vitamin K deficient as well. Did you know that you need vitamin K2 to absorb vitamin D3 into your bones? I started taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts and my problem swiftly ended. That was 15 years ago but I still take it today. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
Carla the miracle chicken was crafting up a storm this morning while also responsibly using the paper towel port-a-potty. We were using a diaper but her tail feathers got in the way.
We keep our brains curious and creative for craft time by ensuring we get enough Omega 3s as well as vitamins A, D & K. The fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts is a great food based source of the above, and ended my chronic cavity battle.

Sharyl Attkisson, one of my favorite journalists who is still in mainstream media, is returning to my show tomorrow (Thursday). She recently released this video about cell towers, which caught my eye given my recent cell tower journey. Big thanks to a Local’s subscriber for alerting me to it. Any questions for Sharyl, please leave below in comments. We will be live at 12:30P ET.
