Reconnecting With Self
Life is full of ups and downs. When you’re experiencing an up you forget about the down, and when you’re down you think you’re never going to be up again.

Food for thought: Embracing our indulgences
The original post of moderation began with Angela from The Diet Book Junkie, then passed to Erin from The Healthy Apron, then to Stef at The New Healthy [which is where I picked up the thread]. Each of the ladies took a different approach to the conversation. The one that spoke to me the most…
Journey to Health: Relaxation and Breathing
Wow have I had a week of gratitude! I’ve been much more appreciative of the positive events and amazing people in my life this week. Just this morning, I looked down at my Green Monster [smoothie] and was utterly thankful for each of the ingredients, that I could sit at my computer and enjoy this…
