Are you in an environment that feeds your spirit and calms your soul? When you come home at night, do you feel at ease, comfortable and ready to unwind and relax? Your environment plays an important part in your overall health and daily habits. If you’re stressed even after you are home in ‘your safe […]
We want change in our lives, we want it on a regular basis and we make plans to make the desired changes but we never quite follow through–but why not? Why does change excite us and tease us but scare us at the same time? Why do we plan to dive in fully but put […]
The calendar page quote for last Monday has been running through my mind all week. If you don’t have enough, work on getting enough, but when is enough plenty? Why do we most often want more? In my observations, we have more than enough of almost everything but we never quite seem satisfied – we […]
While I decided a few weeks back to check in regularly, I found myself absorbed in a technical issue unrelated to posting but overwhelming to say the least. Now that I have resolved the issue that took over my time and brain power, I’m back! Yay, you say, I heard you ;) Ah, so here […]
Just a quick check-in here. As you might know, I’ve been backing off from bread and dairy, not totally eliminating it, for the past five days. I decided to weigh myself after breakfast this morning and I am down four, yes 4, pounds! It always amazes me how quickly our body reacts to the foods […]

In our younger days, especially as we begin school, we have this undying desire to fit in. While we’re all unique we have our ways to be like others. We might be the leader, the class clown, the follower, outgoing, shy, extroverted, introverted or simply the friendly one; whichever our social integration happens to be […]
Fridays are a day of working in the morning, running errands and prepping for the weekend; not that most weekends are very eventful but we try to make the most of them. Friday nights mean eating out and sometimes, depending on where we are and what we’re doing, we might have dinner out on Saturday […]
Earlier today I wrote about my need to stop seconds, stop bread and to reboot & renew. What I didn’t mention is that for three days this week I’ve been having a piece (or two) of bread with a small glass of low-fat milk before bed feeling that it has helped me fall asleep faster. […]
