CELEBRATING EARTH DAY! 10 Simple Ways …

I like a fun festival just as much as the next person, but I don’t like all of the trash that is created from them, including Earth Day celebrations, so I tend to stay away from most of them. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to celebrate Earth Day by doing just that, celebrating the Earth? It doesn’t have to include thousands of people, vendors, music, or any of that. It can be simple, joyful, and a way to connect us to that which sustains us, the Earth. In the end, without it, we’re in a world of hurt.

3 TIPS TO EATING HEALTHY ON THE ROAD

When it comes to traveling, whether for work or pleasure, finding healthy food options can be tough. The airport, train, highway rest stops, and other road warrior venues don’t always provide the best options. That said, having a plan of attack can help.

Here are three tips to help you stay on track when you’re on the road:

Plan ahead.

Know where you’re headed and then devise a plan. This could mean packing your own food, calling ahead or scouting out exactly where you’re headed and potential obstacles. For example, what eateries are available at

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

I hope it’s gorgeous where you are! And I hope you’re enjoying warmer temperatures, beautiful flowers, the greening of the trees, and more lightness in your step.

Last week as I made my grocery list for the week, I suddenly wanted all of the veggies and salads.  Not two weeks earlier my main purchase was 4 pounds of short ribs (yum!!). But this shift got me to thinkin’…

So many people make wellness goals (i.e., “eat right and exercise”) at the turn of the New Year — but this is not really in alignment with the cycles of nature. In fact, so much of what we do is not in alignment with nature and we suffer terribly for it.

SIMPLE STEPS FOR A SUSTAINABLE EASTER

Hippity Hoppity, Easter is on it’s way! I love spring, when I can open the widows and let the fresh air in, see the trees and plants coming into bloom, and feel that renewing sense of potential and excitement. 

We don’t actually celebrate Easter, but we do celebrate the spring equinox, which shares a lot of the same (or similar) symbolism with Easter. Eggs, fresh grass, bunnies, and chicks are all part and parcel of the celebration, but it has become something other than what the original celebration was all about. It’s about fertility, growth, and a renewed sense of optimism (at least, for me it is).

VULNERABILITY IS NOT VICTIMHOOD

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VULNERABILITY AND VICTIMHOOD

We all know people who live in a state of what seems to be constant emotional need.  In fact, many of us have been there ourselves. I certainly have! During my graduate school years I was a mess!

My point here is not to degrade people who struggle with emotional neediness.  When people feel this way it is because they lack the tools to help themselves feel better!  That’s why I was a mess; I lacked tools. In fact, it was that very thing that motivated me toward the Mindfulness and Mindset journey I’m on today! The journey I share with you in these blogs and through my coaching.

HEALTHY LIVING HACKS FOR BUSY MOMS

Being a mom is freaking hard! I love my daughter SO MUCH, but sometimes I miss my old life.

If I could send a message to the pre-mom version of myself, I would tell myself to enjoy the quiet moments.

Being a mom means we wear many hats! We run our family, our home, work (whether that’s in the home or not) and more. The stress is real and we often put our own health (and sanity) last.
