A friend of mine typed this up, I found it so true and inspiring. I’d like to share a little story. Once upon a time I had a relationship that was very unhealthy and a bit abusive. I allowed this relationship to determine my value. Whatever it told me, I was willing to believe. I let it tear me down and decide my worth. I allowed this relationship and the thoughts surrounding it to decide my ability to talk to others. It decided my confidence level. […]
Good morning everyone. I had one of those light bulb moments this morning as I was reading. I am a firm believer in personal growth. So here is my thought and a story that was shared with me that validated my thought. Maybe the story fit because I twisted it in my mind , but I hope it makes as much sense to you as it did to me. Who of you would LOVE to reduce your BMI? How many of you that responded “yes” to […]
When you have no energy because your body is trying to heal itself and putting the extra energy you had into that how do you keep going? I have been sick the last few days and I really want to go to yoga this morning. I am still tired because my body is still fighting the infection. I have to interject at this point and say how thankful I am that I have essential oils on hand. If I hadn’t had them I’m sure I would […]
There are different ways each of us learns lessons in life. Sometimes we have to learn them from our own experiences and sometimes we can learn them from others. Ten years ago I had my last son. During my pregnancy weird things were happening to me (ie I had a continuous cough and strange pains) and the doctor told me I was allergic to being pregnant. I thought he was off his rocker but he put me on some allergy medicine and the symptoms went away. […]

I have had a few people ask me to post on update on this so here goes. For most of us this is a never ending journey. I’m sure that’s the way it will be for me. My husband and I just had this conversation just the other day. Creating a lifestyle for good health can be challenging especially in our world of fast food and quick meals. So what is a solution to all of this. We live a very busy lifestyle as most of […]

Hey everyone. I was just reminded about something my coach told me and I had to share. What goals are you setting? Is it to exercise 5 or more days a week? Or that you are going to cut out sugar when looking at what you eat? Before you set these goals look at where you are right now. How much sugar are you eating each day? How much soda do you drink in a day? How much do you exercise right now? The best way […]
I have tried so hard to eat well and found one of my triggers in a BIG way. My husband and I just had a little stress moment and the first thing I thought of “I need some chocolate.” How’s that for you when you’re trying to eat good. At least I recognize this trigger and and can find ways to deal with it. Using the grounding blend is going to be on the top of my list. The second oil that I will be using […]
