Energy is everything.

You’ve probably heard the phrase actions speak louder than words, right?  Well, your vibes speak louder than words too. Your energy is the greatest source of power you have.

Little things you do make a big difference

These past few months, I’ve found myself in a rut with my cooking and eating rituals. That made me think about how far I’ve come in my healthy eating journey. A few years back, my husband and I watched a documentary on Netflix called Game Changers. After we saw it, we made the decision to try a plant-based diet. My decision…

Nurturing your inner child

Lately, I’ve been getting in touch with my inner child, thanks to our two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter. We’ve been having so much fun coloring, drawing, and playing in the backyard with bubbles.

Celebrating the small wins, too.

How to reduce toxins in your home

My healing journey began five years ago, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I started my quest by making my health priority one, and learning all about Parkinson’s and what I can do to support my health. I focused on the things I could control, like exercise, nutrition, mindset, and creating a wonderful support team around me. I realized it’s…

Be open to new things

When was the last time you tried something new? Sometimes, that can be a scary prospect. Or, you might feel you are simply too busy with everything you have going on in your life right now to be able to do something like that.

How to slow down in a busy world

We just got back from a wonderful family vacation at Olympic National Park in Washington, where we hiked and enjoyed forest bathing, surrounded by beautiful trees and wildlife. Vacation is all about being able to relax and not worry about all the everyday things there are to do back at home. While on vacation I found myself wondering, how can I…
