Ever wonder how a woman in a small, say Croatian village, can live to over 100 without “great” medicine and hospitals? Maybe western diet, medicine, lifestyle…is not all that it’s cracked up to be. Just a thought.

Be kind. It’s few who go through life without being traumatized in one way of another.
