Could You Pass The Salt?
Much like water and oxygen, salt is such an integral part of our diet that we don’t often give it much thought past the standard dinner table inquiry of “can you pass the salt?”. But, this essential mineral does much more than just crank up the flavor in your mother-in-law’s latest and greatest casserole! Salt is a crucial part of our diet and has many other health benefits that we are beginning to re-discover in modern times.

Art Can Save Us All
"Art has the power to render sorrow beautiful, make loneliness a shared experience, and transform despair into hope. Only art can take the holler of a returning soldier and turn it into a shared expression, a deep collective experience. Music, like all art, gives pain and our most wrenching emotions voice, language and form, so it can be recognized and shared. The magic of all art is the ability to both capture our pain, and deliver us from it at the same time."
