Normally I’d have 2 separate blog posts for giveaways, but at this End of Year/End of Decade post, I’ll keep it short and simple. 10 years is clearly a long time. So many things have happened in the last 10 years to us all: success, tragedy, growth, loss, happiness, and change. I, like many of you, have had my fair share of good times and bad times, but the fact that we’ve persevered to this…
We develop grace as we learn, with the guiding hand of the universe, life will unfold exactly the way it should. From an email I received………………. The idea of trusting the universe is a popular one these days, but many of us don’t know what this really means and we often have a hard time doing it. This is partly because the story of humankind is most often presented as a story about struggle, control,…
If darkness has fallen, know that the Sun is shining at this very moment, somewhere not too far away. From an email I received…….. There are times when gloom or darkness causes us to momentarily lose sight of the light. Although it is at these times when the thought of the sun can help us. Its warm, glowing rays brighten even our thoughts, and it’s good to remember that despite appearances the sun is shining…

Holding the holidays in your heart throughout the year it can be wonderfully transformative From an email I received……… Holidays and joy are two elements of our lives that are naturally intertwined. Traditional celebrations awaken within us an ardent desire to reconnect with the people we care about and to share our abundance. During the holiday season, we feel more driven to actively practice compassion, tolerance, selflessness, and gratitude. When we feel stressed, we find…
From an email I received……………. The holidays are here and you might be repeating one of the following sentences to yourself at some point during these two months of joy and gratitude (no shame or guilt, you’re not alone)! “Focus on their better qualities…” “They’re really a good person on the inside…” “You have to deal with him/her because it’s your relative, partner, friend…” People in your life have lots of advice about how to…
I always say, if you’re not progressing, you’re regressing. In life, there’s only one way to move, and that’s forward. Who wants to tread ground they’ve already walked on? Life is to be lived and learned. Just like tires. There are new tires, old tires that used to be new…………and then there are retreads. Retreads are typically worn out, and won’t have much shelf life to them as opposed to the others. In short, life…
Ok, so who made it through Thanksgiving with their waist sizes intact? Ha ha, didn’t think too many would! Well, instead of offering a different type of diet or what-not, I’m going to offer a different type of lifestyle. This is for those of you who have sent in requests for me to talk about – the vegan lifestyle, eating vegetarian. Some benefits include: A Vegan Diet Is Richer in Certain Nutrients. … It Can…
From an email I received…………… When we stop worrying about unimportant matters, we can devote so much more of ourselves to what is truly important. We experience numerous disappointments each and every day. Our expectations go unmet, our plans are blocked by circumstance, our wishes go unfulfilled, and we discover that our lives are subject to a myriad of forces beyond our conscious control. In some cases, our response is powerful because we must invest…
From an email I received……….. If you’re looking for an excuse to eat chocolate and drink wine, look no further! The latest research shows that compounds found in dark chocolate and dry red wine can help prevent certain life-threatening diseases. These compounds are called flavonoids. They are plant nutrients that act as powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. You can find flavonoids in all plant foods. But there’s a problem… Most people don’t get enough fruits and…
From an email I received…………… This fall, I told you about my journey to become independent of blood pressure medications altogether. I started the journey, appropriately enough, last Independence Day, on July 4th. There were two factors that gave me the confidence to make this important change… For one, as you probably know, there are some serious safety concerns about many of the most common types of blood pressure drugs, including some of the supposedly…
From an email I received………… Since I was a kid, I’ve loved pomegranates (Punica granatum). What I absolutely hate is the frustration of all those tiny seeds (which are stated as “edible” by many but I tend to spit them out like cherry pits). Eating an actual pomegranate was a lot of work for very little return. That’s why when I discovered the juice of this delicious fruit was (finally) available on the market a…
From an email I received…….. If you find yourself living “paycheck to paycheck” then it’s possible that you’ve cultivated a scarcity mindset in relationship to money. An experience or event from your past may be influencing the mindset concerning your finances. You may find yourself afraid to spend money and be overly frugal and fearful of your financial future… Or you may find yourself spending most of your money the minute it hits your checking…

From an email I received……………. While riding the wave of life you must also practice stillness so you can flow with, rather than resist the wave’s motion. Our lives are continually in motion, buoyed by the wave that is the universe’s flow. As the wave rises and falls, we are carried forward, through life’s high and low points. The universe’s flow may take us to a place in life where we would rather not be.…
From an email I received……… In parts one and two of this three-part series, we talked about how sleep works to repair the body and some of the many benefits of getting the right amount of sleep. So far, we know that sleep can affect your health in four ways: Sleep habits can reduce insulin resistance and diabetes risk. Good sleep reduces cardiovascular health risk. Healthy sleep habits protect against weight gain. Better sleep can…
From an email I received……………….. It’s a beautiful new day! Let’s kick this day off by practicing feeling gratitude. Gratitude has many meanings, but the one that resonates the most with me is “show appreciation for something and to be kind to it.” That’s all it is. Appreciating something and wishing it well… What do you appreciate this morning? What opens that feeling of love and joy in your chest? What do you feel grateful for?…
From an email I received………….. Having a pity party for yourself is alright as long as you learn from it and don’t dwell in it for long periods of time. We all have days when the bad things seem to outweigh the good ones and we begin to think that life isn’t fair. You get stuck in traffic, which makes you late for an important meeting, and then your car gets towed. You might ask…
