I nourish my body with wholesome foods, my mind with gratitude and forgiveness, and my spirit with loving relationships. All this I do by loving myself as I am. Too often we can't find the courage or discipline to make the simple consistent choices that will change our lives. We are stuck in regret, 20 [...]
When I am tired or my blood sugar is low because I am hungry for nourishing foods, problems can loom larger. I simply choose to care for myself with the rest and nourishment I require for vitality. We wilt just like plants when we are desperate for nourishment. The thing is low blood sugar, [...]
Media and other negative voices cause stress, which weakens me. I choose strength by listening to my inner voice offering ways to nourish my body and calm my mind. Sensation sells news and fear sells products. Ratings rule and you are only as good as the number of likes your post gets.The first sentence is true because we have been trained that way to respond to stimulus.

Whenever I feel lonely or down, I take some time to drop deeper into the quiet space within. Here I find the soft voice of all that I might be whispering encouragement. A long and fulfilled life is not one gentle glide to Nirvana. Life can get jagged at times and it can feel infinitely [...]

When I am grateful for small things, like a beautiful day or the song of a bird, I become a magnet for more and greater experiences for which to be grateful. When we just pause a moment and observe the beauty that surrounds us, our life changes dramatically. We are usually so bent on getting [...]
I cannot think two thoughts at the same time. I choose the thoughts that take me higher; thoughts based on love and what is going right in the world - mine and the one around me. In any given moment, no matter how dire the circumstances, the political nonsense, the economic struggle, the personal challenges, [...]
To my friends who are female and the men in their lives – lovers, husbands, sons, brothers, fathers: Many of you have asked me to put a heart on my wall ‘without comment’ and to be sure to check my ‘boobies’ as it is breast cancer awareness month or some such call to action. I [...]
