Morning Musing

I know that I need to write more, but I've ignored the urge so much that when I sit down to finally do it, my mind goes blank. And then I allow myself to become distracted until I don't have time to do any actual writing. Needless to say, the books I have floating around...

A Different Kind of Doctor – Week 28

Since the beginning of the year I have been learning how to live a more holistic, simplistic and natural way of life. Knowing that healing begins on the inside, I decided to start the journey by addressing what was most obviously unhealthy in my life – with my diet and exercise. First, I began my...

A New View on Nutrition – Week 27

                A couple of weeks ago, I realized that I still don’t have a clue what foods I “should” be eating in order to be healthy. Yes, I know fruits and vegetables… but, to be honest, I don’t really like all that many. Yet, I insisted that I needed...

Day by Day – Week 21

For the first time in my life I feel like I'm starting to learn what stability feels like. I've only caught a glimpse, mind you - but so far, I think I like it. 🙂 Excitement and joy about this latest pregnancy have begun replacing the anxiety and doubt I first felt upon learning I...

And then Life Happens – Week 17

Time is absolutely flying past me. It seems as though we brought our baby girl home just a few weeks ago, when in fact she is 9 months old already! On top of our normally hectic days, our family has also been occupied with several ongoing projects around the house, including a garage sale that...

Mind, Body & Spirit – Week 2

I have a terrible diet, high in processed foods, caffeine, sugar and salt. My workouts mostly consist of juggling an infant with chasing a toddler. To correct this, I need to address a couple of different issues. My first challenge is to change the way I think about what I am putting into my body....

THE METHOD

Now arises the question, “How?” How exactly do I intend on finding natural health/healing methods that really work and everyone can use? By strategizing, of course! This is my plan: I will complete a Personal Evaluation to evaluate my current health. I will also create a written wish list for good health. I don’t believe...

THE THEORY

First things first: In order to solve a problem, it needs to be addressed at the root… Why does it happen in the first place? I believe that for me, these problems and my responses to them can be attributed to a number of factors: 1.)   Poor health: inadequate nutrition, exercise, sex and sleep 2.)  ...

THE PROBLEM(S)

In 6 months, I will be 29 years old. When I was 28, I set a goal to open my own business by the time I am 30. I am dedicating the next 6 months to my health and the following year to opening my business and buying our first home. This is my American...
