The upcoming presidential election in the United States has many pondering how we get to a place of peace, of harmony, one with another. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Mike Weber, suggests we turn to nature, specifically animals, and study their synchronicity for an example to replicate. Harmony.

EAT MYDid you know orchids are edible? Many of you have probably seen the sugared variety high atop a wedding cake or as a garnish, but they’re great in salads too. The flavor is a bit like cucumber with the texture of a buttery lettuce and a touch of the bitter bite of endive. Don’t eat orchids given to you as gifts. If they weren’t grown by you, please be sure you only eat certified organic orchids. The use of pesticides is prevalent in commercially farmed ornamental plants; so, be careful. This next Call can center on orchids. It is all up to you…

GREEN BEANS,I simply can’t handle french fried Onions.. They are simply too in-your-face. Go figure, I’ll eat stinky cheese till the goat come home, but you can keep the green bean casserole to your self. (Although here’s a pretty good recipe.) Sometimes I’m okay with that sort of straight forwardness, sometimes I’m not. This next Call is point blank about the benefits of this online competition, and I’m okay with that. Investigate for yourself…
