I came across this little article in one of Dr. Mercola’s recent newsletters. I love simple things like this that can make an enormous difference in the world. Not to mention they also contribute to our own personal joy and fulfillment.
As always, make sure you read all the way through the article AND the readers’ [...]
(Sorry for the lack of posts lately… my site has been under some serious reconstruction!)
Recently, our family acquired a trampoline. My husband and I thought we were getting it for the kids… but it has turned out to be our new family hang out! I honestly can’t believe how many hours we’ve all logged [...]
Sorry it has been awhile since my last post. I’ve been quite preoccupied having a complete mental and emotional breakdown for the past week… or two… maybe three!!!
The short version of the story:
The 6 month anniversary of my mom’s passing, Mother’s Day without my most favorite mommy, my dad having surgery for prostate cancer, my [...]
I’ve been on the receiving end of much well-intentioned advice regarding food choices I make on behalf of my children. I’ve talked about it many times in various blog entries.
I’ve consistently found that most parents have no challenge with what I do “allow” my kids to eat… but they think I’m downright mean for what [...]
Ever since I first watched this video and read the accompanying text, I’ve been trying to figure out how to introduce it… how to get you to read it and not brush it off.
I still don’t know! My only suggestion is to create a few quiet minutes for yourself, pour yourself a stiff drink, and [...]
Since spring has finally sprung in Michigan, I’ve witnessed lots of people outside moving their bodies on a regular basis again. It’s a beautiful thing!
In the last couple weeks, I’ve also heard from countless folks, mostly women, who are frustrated with their weight loss efforts. At various speaking events I’ve done, this is one of [...]
For quite awhile now, when I start talking about the importance of buying (or raising) organic, antibiotic and hormone-free meat - yes, that includes poultry - many people have proudly told me , “my chicken is organic, too… and I buy it at the regular grocery store… WAY less expensive than the health food store, [...]
I just love what Jenny McCarthy is doing these days. She perfectly exemplifies (for me, anyway) the power, tenacity and true grit of a mother who would do anything in the world to protect her child… and to right a wrong.
I see her crusade as an act of love on the grandest scale. Not only [...]
A recent article in Dr. Mercola’s newsletter got me thinking about organic foods and my favorite grocery store, Whole Foods Market. Here’s the link to the article: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/04/17/the-whole-story-about-whole-foods-market.aspx
I’ve been questioned about the legitimacy of “organic” foods for years. In fact, it seems to be a subject that ruffles many people’s feathers! I’ve often felt under [...]
Once again, I’ve just recently finished going through my morning “ME time”… it’s the time of day when my mind is at its “loftiest”! I have great insight and clarity both during and immediately after my rituals. It’s an absolutely amazing feeling… especially since there are many other moments during the day that I’m convinced [...]
