Many times, I think the best part about the crazy things kids say is the way those things come clear out of the blue!
This morning, I was in the kitchen making breakfast for the kids. They had already been up for awhile… we had already chatted, had our family circle time, and they had been [...]

Of course, you know that I wouldn’t be recommending ANY food or product to you if it didn’t also create [...]

Recently, I was contacted by someone in my area who had sought me out for help in regaining her health. (I have permission to share parts of her story that others could learn from – don’t worry!) This lovely lady was in pretty rough shape. She was carrying 150++ excess pounds, was in constant pain, couldn’t [...]
A couple days ago, the kids and I were leaving my daughter’s music school. Both kids flew out of the front doors of the school like they had just been released from years of captivity!
It was pretty funny and cute at first… they ran into the snow and skipped and jumped… just great kid fun! [...]
As you may or may not know, for the past year I’ve been working on a book. It began as my own personal “get my life back on track” list and plan following my mom’s death at the end of 2007, and evolved into a comprehensive self-help, health and wellness resource guide.
I’ve had several bumps [...]
I’m not sure how mornings go in anyone else’s home, but around here they can be pretty wild! I’m never quite sure what to expect when the kids wake up!
Sometimes, they’re off-the-wall loopy… sometimes they’re bent out of shape about who knows what!
Of course, the bent out of shape part seems to happen more if [...]
If you’ve read much of what I’ve written, you’re probably aware of the fact that commercials irk me. Particularly drug commercials. And most commercials pertaining to our health.
I can’t think of one right now that comes from a TRUE Wellness perspective… they’re all based on the “sickness” paradigm.
The element most of these commercials have in [...]
That was the title of an article I read the other day. We were leaving one of my favorite restaurants – a favorite because they serve a delicious bison burger, a great salad and fresh veggies for the kids, all in a very cool atmosphere - and I picked up a health magazine on my way [...]
The market is truly FLOODED with books, exercise equipment & tools, videos, fitness programs, weight loss programs, diets and on and on. Honestly, most of it is pure rubbish!!
That’s why I’m excited when I run across a program or tool that is based on REAL science, REAL wellness principles and gets REAL results that last [...]
A few days ago, I accompanied my dad to an appointment with a cardiologist. It was the first time he had ever been referred to a specialist for the heart.
The extremely short version of the story is that my dad’s health is not as great as it should be. He had managed prostate cancer with [...]
Very early this morning, I was outside shoveling snow from our walkway and driveway. We got a few inches of the fluffy white stuff overnight… and I am THRILLED!
Why? First, because I don’t have to drive anywhere until this afternoon… no worries about all the morning commute messes for me!
But mostly, I’m excited because I’m [...]
Even though it’s already the 5th of January, it’s the perfect day to begin acting on your New Year’s Resolutions… if you haven’t already begun. It’s sort of like the first “real” week of the New Year. Most folks are back to regular work schedules, school is back in session, holiday parties are behind us… [...]
My current program of choice is the Nutritional Cleansing and Fat Loss System by Isagenix.
We have used the Isagenix personally and in our Wellness practice for two years with great success.
Our primary purpose for including the Isagenix system in our practice is that it meets the requirements of the “Wellness Formula”: it decreases toxicity and [...]
Here’s a link to a fantastic clip by Tony Robbins. It’s a great mindset to adopt for beginning your New Year and creating the life of your dreams… or, Life by Design, as I talked about in the last post.
Enjoy!

Ahhhh… I just LOVE New Year’s Day! It’s full of such hope and possibility and a great sense of opportunity. It all feels different today!
I leave behind anything that didn’t serve me well from last year (any bad attitudes, bad habits, guilt… stuff!), and wipe my slate clean. Sure, sure… human nature hints that these [...]
