Personal Retreat

We all live a demanding life.  Setting aside some personal retreat time may help keeping us centered.  Find a time when no one else is awake and do whatever you like for just a few minutes.  Find your favorite part of the day and celebrate it!   A quiet cup of tea all for you! […]

Enjoy

One of the most important things I do is to find my joy.  It is also something I am very often reminding people to do.  We often plan for everything yet very often forget to add some simple enjoyment.  What would life look life if we started with joy first on our agendas and meant […]

Integrative Health

Many of us use Complementary Alternative Medicine. I recommend using qualified and reputably trained sources.   Many states do not have requirements for some of these areas, for example, yoga.   In many states someone can open a yoga  studio and start a teacher training program with no yoga training and it is legal.  I […]

App/Website/tools

Websites/Tools

One way to stay in shape and save money is to exercise at home.  If I want to purchase a DVD I go to collagevideo.com.  They have many names and types of exercise available with a preview!  Most of us are trying to save, what a wonderful way to peek at a DVD before purchasing. […]
