Spicing Up The 2% Chance To Live

"There is always Hope! When my mom was expecting me, the doctors gave me a 2% chance of survival due to a very rare condition known as Prune Belly Syndrome. A specialist told my parents that I would most likely die within 3 days of birth and strongly recommended an abortion. 9 operations and 26 years later I'm loving life and using my talents to custom make culinary blends where 15% of the sales will be Donated to the Make A Wish foundation, an organization that specialize in granting the wish of a child with a life threatening disability and or Illness. The Make a Wish foundation touched my life in 2007, I ask you to consider helping me to pay forward that gift of hope no matter how small a chance. " -Josh


Josh is now 26 years old and is still overcoming his illness ever single day he lives! He is now devoting the time he has to pay-it-forward through his New England Spice Mill company! For every seasoning he sells he is donating 15 percent of the profits to The Make A Wish Foundation. This foundation gives children who are on the brink of death to experience their dream!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.
