One Word, Two Ways: Fresh

Every week we pick a word and both write about that word. The word this week is Fresh.

When I thought about this word, so many things came up and I realized I love all things fresh. Here are my favorites:

Fresh Food

My ultimate favorite in life!

Fresh Air

NPR

I love podcasts and one of my favorites is NPR’s Fresh Air. Some of my favorite recent episodes have featured Jimmy Fallon, Alexander Payne (director of “The Descendants” and “Sideways”) and Darrell Hammond from SNL. 

Fresh Flowers

The first week of a New Year certainly promises opportunity to make a fresh start in any aspect of your life.  Though I didn’t really make any solid resolutions this year, there are a few places I would like to start anew.  Among them is a return to greens and to juicing.

My mother gave me a juicer for Christmas a few years back and I really got into the habit.  I was committed to eating greens most days of the week and felt great.  The boost that fresh juice has on your body is instantaneous.  The nutrients hit your bloodstream immediately, in the same way that alcohol does.

Below is the loose recipe for one of my favorite fresh juices.  It is a little on the sweet side given the sugar in beets, carrots and apples but it tastes great.  You can play around with the proportions based on your own preferences but I usually go with something along these lines:

2 whole Beets
3-4 Carrots
1 Green Apple
3 leafs of Swiss Chard (Kale, Spinach or other dark greens also suffice)
A knob of peeled Ginger

To fresh beginnings!

    Today, I went to the beachfront with my
    children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    I’m gone to convey my little brother, that he should also go to see
    this webpage on regular basis to get updated from most up-to-date information.

    I don’t know if it’s just me or if everyone
    else encountering issues with your website. It appears as if some of the written text in your posts are running off
    the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this is
    happening to them as well? This could be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before.
    Cheers

    What you posted made a bunch of sense. However, think about this,
    suppose you were to create a killer headline? I
    mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, however what
    if you added a title to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean One Word, Two Ways:
    Fresh | is a little vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create article titles to get people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a picture or two to
    grab readers interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion,
    it might bring your blog a little bit more interesting.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what
    all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks
