What is your lifelong dream?

Many of us have dreams we’ve never spoken aloud. Do you have one? Why haven’t you spoken it or written it? Do you feel that you could never accomplish it? Are you afraid you might accomplish it and then not know where to go or where you’ll be? Are you confused about where to begin to head in the direction of your goal? Are you unsure of the unknown journey along the way? Change is inevitable; change is good. Change is often moving forward. I have many goals and I write them down. I see them and think of them often but that’s not enough. That won’t make them happen. I pick one of my seemingly simpler goals, set the first intention, and take the first step which always leads to the second step then the next and so on. Practice meeting your goals. Set small ones, set the first intention and take that first step. Bigger goals sometimes require help, don’t hesitate to ask for that help. A certified holistic health coach, I’m one, can be the perfect help you’re seeking. Don’t put your own goals and lifelong dreams off; take the first step. Ask for help, love yourself enough! Have a dream!

My First S’mores…..and probably my last

Everybody has their favorite snacks, treats or guilty pleasures. I know my niece is a dedicated fan of S’mores and for very cool reasons, it’s fitting to her!
Well, I finally had my first experience ever making and eating smores last night. Of course, because it’s been many years since I even toasted a marshmallow, I had to catch one on fire, blow it out and pull the first layer of burned sweetness off the stick and re-toast the remaining bit that was left. Yum….for that ‘one’ anyhow! Then onto the full smore…toasted another white fluff of sugar, laid it gently onto the chocolate layered graham cracker and squeezed another cracker on top…time to bite into this delectable fireside sweet; mmmm…it’s ok…didn’t love it…First off, I’m not a big chocolate fan, I rarely ever eat desserts…but, the cracker was good. But wait! I can’t stop here! It’s too fun to build these critters! I made several more and fed the man! He was still on his first when I began making them for him. He was so patient and caring while he turned his marshmallow ever so slowly and while it toasted gently and lightly. OH MY! I don’t do many things slow so it was torture for me! He enjoyed the one or two he made and the seven I made for him! We both did agree at the end that it’s not something either one of us would care to have again though, I bit too sweet! But the experience was equally as sweet!

Taking Time Out

So often we forget to take time to just be. We plan vacations and included in our luggage is work. We decide that we need to finish up this or that so we promise to do it on our down time while away.

I did this myself this week. I went away and knew I had some work to do so I figured I can get it done early in the week then begin my vacation after I was done. This work involves technology, internet and cell phone service.

I found that the internet connectivity is timed and the cell phone service is pretty much a void.

The lesson I’ve learned from this little inconvenience is that the universe will intervene when we’re not following it’s advice! I suppose we need to be thankful for these little inconveniences. We need to realize that pretty much no matter what, the things we needed to get done will still be there when we are back.

Rest and relaxation is a must every so often so let’s take it seriously and fall into nature and the natural way of life….it’s time to get back to basics whether it’s around food or around emotional wellness!

And so with that note, I must end here before I get bumped off and cannot share my story with you!

Remember to stop a few times today even if it’s for 2 minutes and realize life!

So often we eat things that reflect the way we feel. For example, if we feel junky, we eat junk, if we feel heavy, we eat things that are heavy and if we feel healthy, we eat things that are healthy. Think about what it is you’re eating just before you begin to eat it. Go through your regular routine of choosing your food but just before you eat it stop and think about what that item is, and think about the way you feel physically and emotionally about yourself.

You’re Valued

Did you ever wonder about what your value might be? Do you have a low self-value? If you think of yourself as unimportant, not smart enough, not attractive, too heavy or even too light, not very exciting or any other similar thought; it’s time to find your true value. It’s time to come out of hiding and be a true friend with yourself and share that friend with the world. You have more value than you think you have. With a little bit of help and encouragement you can be accepting of yourself and realize your possibilities. You can soar like you’ve wanted to. What does that look like to you?

Get Excited to Eat!

My life doesn’t revolve around counting calories and worrying about every little thing I put on my plate; yours doesn’t have to be either! There’s way too much life to live and it’s time we live it fully. When I learned of the thousands of food choices that were healthy, I also learned that the majority of those choices can be consumed in unlimited quantities. Of course I can’t eat non-stop because inevitably I get full and I become re-energized to experience life. I’m truly excited to welcome each new day as it brings endless opportunities if I just let it happen with an open mind and open arms. Climb aboard and Initiate Wellness in your life too!
