Hey everyone – not looking ‘put together’ here – but, I just got done with a 50 minute workout (so forgive my au naturele look.) Just wanted to peek in and say ‘Hi’ and introduce myself a bit more personally. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner. Why don’t we work to […]
Last week the New York Times wrote an article about the long term capability of “The Biggest Loser” participants to keep weight off (not a good track record) and how dieting doesn’t work. According to the Times, the diet industry ‘reacted defensively’ about the article. I considered the piece to be a bit shoddy on […]
First, I am going to tell you that I am not a doctor – and, if this become a major issue – see your physician. What I am going to give you here are some ideas that may assist you in getting a good night’s sleep. Remove sources of ‘Blue Light’ in the bedroom. Remember when […]
Dammit! Morning already? I just got back to sleep and now the alarm. Maybe 15 more minutes – yeah, definitely 15 more minutes. OR It is 2 A.M. and your mind is racing. You can’t fall back to sleep and counting sheep turns out to be a lousy piece of advice! Do these sound familiar? […]

I have often wondered how some people get phenomenal results in life, while others seem to float dismally down a river of mediocrity. Is it education? Is it being brilliant? Is it luck?

I am choosing to write today about something a bit different. This is a Health and Wellness site and not everything in our world is what we eat and how we move. Sure, those things are important – but, how are we emotionally? This time of year we look forward to sunshine and warmer temperatures, […]
Happy New Year! The beginning of a new year brings so many promises. Just hanging up a new calendar – pristine and unencumbered by the past, brings a sense of renewal; a fresh start. And, so it appears for a few days. Out with the old eating, in with a new ‘diet’. Out with being […]
