What a great piece of advice from Will Smith! So simple. So big.

This is an article I recently wrote that relates quite closely to the most recent “Just One Thing” recommendation - before a behavioral change can really “stick”, we need to make sure it’s in alignment with our beliefs.
This is most likely the number one reason many people find it so difficult to make healthy choices, [...]
We’re a smart bunch of cookies here! We have SO much health information already in our noggins, and a gazillion times more at our disposal anytime we need it. If our health isn’t where we’d like it to be, it’s certainly not due to a shortage of information or health tips!
The cover of every magazine [...]
I thought that Mother’s Day would be the perfect day to introduce another “simple step”… a genetically congruent lifestyle choice that meets our requirements for the creation of health and the prevention of chronic illness.
“Just one thing” for today is: Have a grateful heart. Be thankful. Be appreciative. Feel the many blessings that are bestowed [...]
Practicing in the field of Wellness for over 14 years, I’ve seen and heard many things regarding people’s beliefs regarding their health. You’d think I’d be used to it by now, but the one mindset that never fails to surprise me is the one of rigid avoidance of all-things-holistic-simply-because-they’re-not-medicine!
I completely honor and respect each individual’s [...]
There are times when we get stuck in a rut… we get ourselves into a “funk”.
At least that’s true with me!
Sometimes we lose our motivation, inspiration, or self-discipline to keep doing the things we know are good for us… and to avoid doing the things that aren’t so good. Oftentimes this is the result of [...]
Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about our constant challenge to live in the moment - to not worry excessively about the future, to not dwell on the past… to just BE right here and right now.
Tough!
When we get those moments “right”, though… ahhhh… it feels so fabulous!
Here’s an article I recently wrote on the [...]
Here’s an article I recently wrote that describes the importance of consistent, proactive morning rituals in my life.
Rituals help you maintain a happy, healthy, fulfilling life. They can also be used as a tool to help you overcome a major life challenge or chronic stress.
My morning rituals were the number one thing I turned to [...]
I just read this wonderful article by Joyce Bone of MillionaireMomsBlog that I wanted to share with you.
Here’s the article:
Never Stop Hugging First
By joycebone
This morning my 6 year cried because he has a slight sunburn on one shoulder. This didn’t sit well with him. He wanted to know why the sun “bite him”? I scooped [...]
I love the start of a new week… so much hope and anticipation!
I have a routine I go through each weekend that I’ve come to depend on for helping me create fulfilling days, and weeks… and life.
I plan.
I’m sure you’re thrilled by the excitement that “planning” stirs up on in your soul! Stay with me…
Each [...]
I recently caught an interview on The Larry King Show with Jillian Michaels, star of The Biggest Loser.
The panel of guests consisted of Jillian Michaels, Suzanne Somers and Dr. Robin Smith. The topic was how 1/3 of Americans are losing sleep due to stress - primarily financial and job-related stress.
All three guests were offering advice [...]

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 [...]
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… [...]
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 [...]
In a few exercise and weight loss articles I’ve written lately, I’ve referred to the critical importance of FIRST deciding that you are a fit, trim person who exercises for life. Permanent success comes only when you consistently choose to be a “mover” and to make fitness and healthy nutritional choices part of your lifestyle.
Beliefs [...]
Yesterday in our practice, I was intentionally focusing on all the good things going on. Due to the holiday this week, practice members’ schedules were all shuffled around, so I saw quite a few folks that don’t normally come in when I’m there.
Such a blessing.
At one point, our office was full of several wonderful families [...]
A dear friend sent this story to me this week. She sent it out to several of her friends, so I don’t think she realized the personal connection it has for me in particular.
This week marks the one year anniversary of when I “lost” my best friend, my mom. This past year has been the [...]
