“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”

Story of Jeff Berwick
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Accessible Media Inc. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
This is a truly inspiring story of Jeff Berwick and displays many challenges and obstacle he was faced with on a day-to-day basis. He overcame all challenges with his willpower and determination and did not let his visual impairment get in the way of living his everyday life.
He utilized Accessible Media to be able to spend time with the family watching television programs.
AMI(Accessibel Media Inc. is a great tool for anyone with impairments or disabilities. It is a non profit organization that operates two broadcast services such as Voice Print and Accessible Channel for anyone with impairments such as being blind, deaf, or learning impairment etc.
I think that television watching has come a long way in technology and is growing and this is an awesome organization that keeps all individuals involved. Individuals gain access to these services provided by AMI so that they are not alienated and it helps gains more involvement in this society in which we live in. It is also a great tool to help gain stronger relationships within the family unit as the children all love to watch television together with mom and dad.
What are your thoughts on this video? Did you find it encouraging, inspiring etc? Did you know anything about AMI before today? Share your thoughts with me.

Which Diet is the Best?
Some suggest that Weight Watchers is the best.
I am interested in the new diet called the "Dash Diet" as I have high blood pressure and this diet is good for people with high blood pressure and hypertension.
A low salt (or low sodium) plan, the DASH diet provides additional benefits to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol. It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potasium, calcium, and magnesium.
The DASH eating plan has been proven to lower blood pressure in just 14 days, even without lowering sodium intake
New research shows that following the DASH diet over time will reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease, as well as kidney stones. The benefits of the DASH diet have also been seen in teens with hypertension. The DASH diet truly is the diet for everyone.
The typical DASH diet is low in cholesterol, and rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium as well as protein and fiber: in a 2000 calorie diet you will get about 4700mg potassium, 500mg of magnesium and 1240mg of calcium. The table below gives you a brief overview of how much of each food group an individual on a 2000 calorie DASH diet eating plan needs to consume:
Since the hypertension diet is higher in fiber than you may normally be used to, it may cause bloating and gas and individuals are advised to switch over gradually to this diet.
I would love to try this diet out !
Have you heard of the Dash Diet ? What are your thoughts on it? What is your Favorite Diet or Eating Plan?
| Food Group | Servings | Examples | Benefits |
| Whole Grains | 6-8 per day | oatmeal, whole meal bread, cereals | Carbohydrates and fiber |
| Fruits and Vegetables | 4-6 per day | broccoli, collards, spinach, beans, tomatoes | Potassium, magnesium and fiber |
| Fat free or low fat dairy | 3-4 per day | low fat milk, yoghurt and cheese | Calcium, potassium, magnesium and protein |
| Lean Meats, poultry and fish | 2 or less per day | lean cuts of meat, preferably white meat and fish | Protein and magnesium |
| Nuts, seeds and beans | 4-5 per week | kidney beans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, lentils, almonds | Magnesium, potassium, protein and fiber |
| Fats and Oils | 2-3 per day | olive and canola oil, avocados | Essential fats |
I would love to try this diet out !

Sobeys and Food Bank of Canada
I think this is terrific as we all need to eat and when we purchase at Sobeys we not only are benefiting with 300 Sobeys points but are also helping families in need. How rewarding is that! If everyone shops there we can raise lots of money towards the Food Bank. Lets all do something good for someone this month by contributing.
