One of the [...]

Hey! Summer is hot so why do we get colds (hehe)? There are a few reasons why we get colds in the summer. Reason 1: Ritusandhi.

LOVE this little girl!! Great way to sum up organic foods. Notice the variations in prana (life energy!!) in the potatoes! Folks, food is what we are built from. Lifeless foods = lifeless body-minds. Take in that PRANA and become more mindful about the foods you choose. XOXO! My Potato Project; The Importance of \”Organic\”

Holy nuggets! My last post was on May 3rd?! Boo. I’ve spent the last week feeling slightly neglectful about the time between posts. But today I realize, it’s a-okay to take a rest (my kapha husband tells me this all the time and I like to run myself ragged). Lately I’ve felt much slower, more [...]

Hi Friendlies!! Adding to my post earlier this week on grapples I’ve been inspired to talk about…grocery shopping. I know, I know. It’s not the most inspiring thing in the world, but it’s a necessity. And it’s a necessity to pay attention to what we are buying (because it will eventually go in our mouths!), [...]

A story. This past weekend we took a lovely get away to San Diego, just for an evening. We stayed at a dog friendly hotel so we could bring the pooches without worry. All was pretty good except when we went to leave for breakfast on Sunday morning. Our little Blossom dog sometimes gets separation [...]

I was writing to a friend of mine about blogging and I said, “Be patient and consistent, nothing is instant!” I thought that was a good thing to remember …even about changing our health habits too, right? xoxo. Stick with it everyone – slowly we make the changes.

{HUG} Happy Valentine’s Day! Today I wish I had time to cut out doilys and make hand made Valentine’s for the special people I love. Remember those?
