Welcome to this "blog". I'm setting this up as a prelude to our website. I'll try to post progress here. I want to develop content for our website while we wait for it to be set up. This is one reason I'm planning teleseminars for us to do. I'm setting this up through the Hawaii Health Foundation, a non-profit organization to facilitate these teleseminars under the name "Living Treasures World.com.
