Former Football Star Farms for Good
|
| In 2012, Jason Brown, #60 for the St. Louis Rams, walked away from a 5-year, 37 million dollar contract to be a farmer. The former NFL center had never farmed before, but that didn’t stop him from purchasing a 1,000 acre farm in the outskirts of Louisburg, North Carolina. In keeping with the name of his farm, First Fruits Farm, Brown donates the entire 5-acre harvest – 100,000 pounds – of sweet potatoes to local food pantries. "When I think about a life of greatness, I think about a life of service… Love is the most wonderful currency that you can give anyone." |

Free Hugs With Arie Moyal
Holidays can be a lonely and stressful time, particularly for those with mental health issues. Arie Moyal spends two weeks each year around the Christmas holidays providing support to travelers through free hugs. Virginia Satir, a noted family therapist, claimed that we need 4 hugs a day for survival; 8 hugs a day for maintenance; and 12 hugs a day for growth. And scientists have determined that one of the reasons hugs makes you feel good is that they stimulate the production of oxcytocin, a neurotransmitter that contributes to our sense of connectedness, and as a result, happiness. “You have a better day when you get hugs.” { read more }
Be The Change
Hugs are healing. Research indicates that 8 hugs a day allows you to reap the full benefits of oxytocin production. This holiday season get your hugs on! |
