How many times have you gone into an office only to find people sneezing or coughing while they work? How many times have you seen coworkers looking pale and fatigued long before they should and the excuse isn’t just a wild night out? How many times have all been that coworker? I have to wonder [...]

I was talking to a friend. She has many things going on in her life, among those things are health issues. She has a blind spot. Her life is important to her but it impacts her health on a daily basis. The changes she would need to make are huge and heart wrenching, yet they [...]

This morning I had a different yoga teacher than I usually have. I love my yoga teacher. Sometimes it’s nice to hear something from a new voice. My teacher said that we need to be mindful that it’s the little things that trip us up. The little things are the things we keep doing over [...]

I’ve talked a lot about the importance of slowing down on this blog. I was thinking about this as I put a chicken in the crock pot yesterday to roast slowly. I take it out of the crock about an hour before it’s done and let the skin crisp up on the top in the [...]

I was watching television the other evening and looking at the thinness of the women on there. Their hips are narrow. Since reading Weston A Price’s book I find myself looking at faces. Are they full? What are the teeth like. Such preoccupations actually makes me somewhat enjoy American Idol where I can see “ordinary” [...]

In health and regaining health, there is a need for committing to the experience of being healthier. It can be hard. Taking the time to work out or to cook healthier food, potentially learning how to cook healthier food can all seem overwhelming. The most overwhelming thing can be hearing other people say just do [...]
