What Is Intuition (and how can you truly connect with yours)?

When I look back on my life, I see moments when I knew something—without logic, without proof, but with a deep inner certainty. This is intuition: the quiet voice of the soul whispering in your ear even when the world is shouting something else. Intuition is not mystical—it’s part of us. It’s the wisdom of your inner guide, the echo of your…

Embracing Your Inner Child

There’s something magical about watching children play. Their laughter rings out like music, their curiosity knows no bounds, and their ability to live fully in the moment is nothing short of inspiring.  I know this well because I’m blessed with two granddaughters—Elowyn and Kiera. These girls have become my greatest teachers when it comes to remembering the joy of my own…

Raising your vibrations to attract your desires

I’ve come to believe that everything is energy. Every thought we think, every feeling we hold, every word we speak—it’s all sending a message out into the world, like a frequency broadcast from our hearts. And the wild, beautiful part about that energy? It’s magnetic. Have you ever noticed how things seem to fall into place when you’re feeling good?…

Sixteen Plant-Based Proteins to Power Your Body

When my sweetheart and I shifted toward a plant-based lifestyle, one of the most common questions I got was, “But where do you get your protein?” Usually followed by a look of genuine concern, as though going plant-based meant my protein intake would be eating just nuts. It’s a fair question, though. Protein is essential—it fuels our muscles, supports our…

The power of silence  

About a year ago, a new wellness studio opened near my home. They offer mediation, sound bowl, Qigong, and yoga classes—just my kind of place. So, I started filling my calendar with classes. I discovered that Qigong, which I’d never done before, was one of my favorites, as well as Yoga Nidra, a type of meditation.  I was drawn to…

Clearing out the clutter.

The last few weeks I have been cleaning more than usual; my urge to purge is at an all-time high. Perhaps it’s because it’s January.  New beginnings new possibilities, a fresh start if you will. Perhaps you have felt it too. So—Why do we have the urge to spring clean, and is it good for our health?   There are indeed many…

The Art of Manifesting

Growing up, I didn’t know anything about manifesting. It wasn’t until 2006 when I saw the movie The Secret that I learned about manifesting and the Law of Attraction. I realized I’d been manifesting for many years—I just didn’t realize I was doing it!  In simple terms, whatever you think about manifests into your life. Now armed with the knowledge, I…

Finding your tribe 

When I look back on my life, I see how I’ve been a part of many different tribes. Your tribe may change over time, as people come and go from your life, and that’s ok. I think about the different jobs and relationships I’ve had. Most important, though, is how I’ve changed and grown in my own evolution. And my…

Healthy tips for the election season

Here we are, knee-deep in the current election season. Perhaps you’re like me and find elections to be highly stressful—it’s one thing to be informed; it’s quite another thing to be inundated. During an election, the media covers every second of the action. No wonder it’s so challenging to not get sucked in and overwhelmed by what’s going on!  What…

Getting to know your gut

As I navigate my way through creating healthier lifestyle choices, I’ve seen a lot of attention put on gut health recently. Since I didn’t feel I had any issues with my gut health, I didn’t make learning about it a priority. But then my naturopathic doctor told me that I have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). Which means my gut…
