November 3, 2015 Last week, the weather was getting me down. Since I can remember, November has been my least favorite month. It’s probably due to the drastic change in weather and the significant decrease in daylight. But whatever the case, my spirit is definitely affected by the cold and the dark. That is where […]
October 27, 2015 It’s a gloomy, rainy day today. I could feel myself standing on an imaginary line of where I wanted my day to go. If I stepped to one side of the line I would choose to have a gloomy day, if I chose the other side I could make my day […]
October 20, 2015 Straight away, I think about the sitcom Friends and the hilarious one-liner that pushed into the mainstream through the 90’s ….. “This is uncomfortable!” “I’m uncomfortable.” “This is making me uncomfortable.” So what makes you uncomfortable? Is it the pain in your low back, a migraine headache, or simply the sound of […]
October 13, 2015 I love making homemade elderberry syrup, partly because I know and love everything that’s in it and partly because it makes the house smell amazing. It’s been our family’s go to remedy for the past few years during the fall and winter months. Sometimes, I’ll give it to my kids with preventative […]
October 6, 2015 In Part 1, I suggested some alternatives to keeping the body healthy during this time of year. There is a lot to consider when it comes to staying healthy, but it’s all relative! And it’s fun! It really keeps me present and aware of what is happening in my body right here […]

I love cooler mornings and evenings, I love the leaves changing color, I love wearing light jackets […]
September 29, 2015 I’m talking about Acupuncture!! Yes, Acupuncture! I have been a practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine for about 6 years now, and instead of Does it work, the most common question people ask is….. “Does it hurt?” It doesn’t hurt! Sometimes you feel nothing. Sometimes you feel something. It […]
September 22, 2015 It was a Thursday night, and we just finished putting the kids to bed. I ran to Trader Joe’s for a couple of things I needed the next day. It had been an exceptionally long day and I was so looking forward to drinking a cup of tea in front of The […]
I started working with a meditation coach about 2 years ago. The main reason I decided to take on this practice was that I was desperate to become a better mother. I was overwhelmed ALL the time, I was frustrated and angry a lot, and I was depressed and anxious. Interestingly, I had no idea […]
School has started again and with that comes a sigh of relief and a sigh of sadness that summer is over. Unfortunately, it always seems that a few weeks into the school year some kind of cold or bug starts making it’s way around the community. So, I’m sharing all of the preventative measures that […]
