Living your best and healthiest life just became a vacation. Make an annual commitment to yourself by taking a stress-free, well-being retreat. I know you’ll join me if the time is right. Do something creative and commit an act of kindness daily. It’s good for the soul Namasté, |
Title: Spring Cleaning / Summer Shape Up Since the beginning of the year, most of us have been planning a spring cleaning of our homes, our body temples and our emotional attics. This is also the time of year that we consider the expression “lightening the load”. The question is where do you start? My challenge this year is eliminating certain things from my home, body temple and emotional attic that no longer serve me. I think each of us comes to a point where the old way of doing things, seeing things and saying things is no longer adequate. I’m starting with things I can do with my diet. I’m eliminating yeast causing foods to improve my overall health and well-being. It’s time to realize that attacking the symptoms of dis-ease in the mind, body and spirit is not only ineffectual but leads to more complex problems. Let’s endeavor to work at preventive health by dealing with the source of our health issues and not the symptomatic effects. Seeing ourselves as optimum beings to which balance is restored, and not sick beings needing to be fixed is a major component in moving towards our greater selves. Here are two recipes to get you started on healthy food with raw and natural goodies. They’re easy to prepare and delicious tasting. “Be who you are and say what you mean – because those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter”. Dr. Seuss
