Last Sunday, I was invited to a breakfast buffet at Two Bills in Clearwater, after the 8 a.m. Mass. It was a great experience. There is a complete salad bar and also a plate for...

But he’s adopted a different tactic in cutting the fat from state spending by hiring a high-priced consultant to suggest reductions. He enlisted Epiphany Associates, a Utah-ba...

"If you're happy and you know it clap your hands." It's a song familiar to all of us. However, how familiar is the awareness of our body clues of feeling happy to all of us to truly "know it?"

We all enjoy our flowers and ve...
