I always talk about the importance of moving your spine and all its surrounding tissues in order to fuel up your brain for health and happiness.
Sheesh! Just imagine how healthy and happy these young ladies must be! Lol!!
(Not to mention the nice abs, core strength and overall sleek physiques they have! Hula on, baby!)
Some of you are aware that I’ve been working on this project for the last couple of months. I’m excited to announce that my latest ebook and audio book, “The 7 Essential Keys to Shedding Toxic Fat & Unwanted Pounds” is ready to roll!
This is THE last weight loss solution you’ll ever need!

A few months ago, we made a big decision in our family. It was a decision that didn’t come easily… there were many pro’s and con’s on each side of the ‘argument’. Ultimately we “had to do what we had to do”, for now anyway.
When I have the presence of mind to step outside the [...]
Recently, I was teaching a seminar on the incredible power of our thoughts, our beliefs, our self-talk and our emotions and how they all directly affect our level of health.
Mounting scientific evidence has clearly demonstrated for years now that the old adage “it’s all in your head” is truly ridiculous. What’s going on in your [...]
Each day, the kids and I talk about a “big idea” for the day. We talk about some theme or character trait or mindset that we can focus on in an attempt to lift us up from low level stinkin’ thinkin’ and stress. They’re learning that THEY decide the type of people they will be… [...]

Being completely healthy includes our emotional, mental, social and spiritual health in addition to our physical health.
Health is a state of consistent homeostatic cell function… a state of consistent overall balance.
Emotional and mental health doesn’t mean that we never have stressful moments… or days… or weeks… or chapters of our life! No. Stress if part [...]
As I mentioned here the other day, our Thanksgiving tradition is to spend the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving talking about (and writing about, now that the kids are old enough) what we’re thankful for each day. This year, we have little note cards and pencils right at the table to jot down appreciative thoughts, [...]
One of our Thanksgiving traditions is to spend the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving talking about, making crafts about, writing about, etc. what we are thankful for.
This year, with both kids writing, we made this little project our dining table centerpiece.
I have a glass jar with “Thanksgiving-colored” little sheets of paper and a couple pencils, [...]
Just in case you were wondering…
Yes, I’ve had some “scheduled” ideas for words and thoughts of the day lately that I haven’t shared with you here. The main reason is that there are days (sometimes, a string of SEVERAL days in a row!) where my kids remind me that they are only 7 and 4!
Sometimes, [...]
This is a loaded topic! PTC is something my husband and I have practiced in our Wellness practice for many, many years. Simply, it means focusing on the present moment and really BEING in the moment and being fully with the person or people in your presence.
In our practice setting, we’ve adopted this way of [...]
This was actually from a couple days ago. The kids and I had SO much to accomplish and so much running around to do (including fun activities for them, too… in case you thought I was dragging them all over town just for mom’s boring errands!).
I notice that the more we have to do, and [...]
Today has been a bit of a “chore” day around the house. It’s not so much the word “thorough” that was important for me to teach the kids, but rather today’s thought.
The thought, or our ‘theme’ for the day is: If you’re going to do a job, do it well. If you’re going to put [...]
We’ve been on the go quite a bit for the last few weeks. After work and soccer this morning, it was time to remind the kids about the importance of “Chillaxing”.
Chill out.
Relax.
It’s good for the soul!
(Yes, I normally choose ‘lofty’, inspirational, motivational or character-building words and thoughts for our daily theme. Oh well, they’ve enjoyed [...]
I had originally “scheduled” the words and thoughts of the day several weeks in advance, when looking at what events and themes were coming up on our calendar and in our studies.
Then came the surprise kitten!
Today’s word was supposed to be Focus. The thought was to be centered around becoming the type of person who [...]
Yesterday, our word and focus of the day was Patience.
I knew that after being gone for a few days, that getting back into a routine could potentially be a catalyst for sibling battles! These two spend a LOT of time with each other!
So, we started off our day talking about patience. (Funny how quickly I [...]
Today’s word of the day is “Effort”.
I chose it knowing that our son has soccer this morning and our family is going on a LONG bike ride this afternoon.
I figured it would be a good focus for a day like today. I like how sports and physical activity can easily teach lessons in character and [...]
Something that I’ve been doing with our kids for awhile now is starting our day with a word of the day and a thought of the day.
These are different empowering or motivational or inspirational or character-building ideas to focus on throughout our day. As they get older they’ve come to enjoy this part of our [...]
Here’s an attitude adjustment for the day:
If it is to be, then it is up to ME!
What are you waiting for? Nobody’s going to hand you your ideal life on a platter! You’ve got to create it!
Want health? Create it. Make healthier choices.
Want happiness? Create it. Choose happiness… no matter what.
Sound too simple? It probably [...]
What you think about the most, and how you talk to yourself, determines your beliefs.
Your beliefs determine your behaviors – your choices.
Your behaviors/choices determine whether you will be healthy or sick.
Idea:
Start talking to yourself differently about healthy lifestyle choices.
“I love how I feel after I exercise!”
“I love how great I feel when I eat [...]
