Here I am, halfway through my September 30 Day Challenge and I have a few observations to share with you. I’ve broken them down into the three categories of my Challenge: Diet, Exercise, and Gratitude. DIET CHALLENGE: 30 days without consuming any sugar*, grains, dairy, or alcohol. (*No artificial sweeteners too. I do allow honey in my tea and pure maple syrup in my almond butter) Changing the way I eat is actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. I knew I was ready for a change, and I started out with the mindset that this is…

Friday Feels: Is your sense of calm easily upset by external factors, or have you learned how to achieve inner peace when the world around you feels chaotic? We have immense energy flowing through our body and mind at every moment of the day, and it can be overwhelming at times- especially when coupled with the energetic push and pull of people around us who may be struggling with their own life events. So much drama! But even in the most challenging situations, it is not only possible, but necessary for our sanity to settle down and find contentment. There…

Lately I’ve been thinking about how often I tend to make a task or project or process far more difficult than it needs to be. Can you relate? Do you ever get frustrated when: You find yourself waiting in a long line and the person at the front is placing an unnecessarily complex order? Or… The person carrying out your service request is reciting back a time consuming list of company policies? Or… You are trying to find basic information on a website and it is nowhere obvious? Or… The assembly or installation instructions for a new product make NO…

Dairy-Free Smoothie (Tastes Like a 50/50 Bar!) I wanted to create a sweet, creamy smoothie that was dairy-free but still tastes great & has an indulgent mouth-feel. BOOM! The Cantaloupe & Almond Milk Smoothie is just the thing. It has a smooth texture and is sweet with a flavor reminiscent of a 50/50 bar without being overbearing. It’s also a super-healthy fruit that’s loaded with potassium and B vitamins including B1, B3, B6, and folate, plus Vitamin K, magnesium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, and fiber. Calorie wise, a medium-sized melon only contains about 186 calories! Here’s my super-simple recipe:…

For the past couple of years, I have been wanting- no, longing to- create a series of fitness videos for people living in bigger bodies, with a crazy twist: I don’t want you to lose a bunch of weight (unless that is something YOU want for yourself). Instead, I wanted to simply love, support, and encourage people just like me to love the body that they are already living in, and provide them with some easy action-steps to help guide them to a healthier lifestyle. I had this radical notion that I could begin to deeply, truly LOVE myself exactly…

Friday Feels: What kind of miracle are you? Too often we believe that miracles can only be some unexplainable thing, or that they are only reserved for the experiences of canonized saints and characters in sacred texts. I want to be crystal clear when I tell you that you ARE a living, breathing miracle. Every day, you are a tangible example of the Divine, and your essence is Perfection. You. Are. A Miracle! And I believe in you. ❤️
