Achieving Health & Balance in Body, Mind & Spirit (or at least working on it!)
Lately, I am feeling alot like I imagine my ADHD child feels at times, or perhaps like people who are getting Alzheimer’s feel. I have been scattered, having trouble concentrating and finishing tasks, and have piles of work everywhere. I have had enough trouble getting the day to day stuff done, let along blogging and [...]
In the last week or so I’ve been working on completing items that have been on my “to do” list or in my awareness for a while. Jack Canfield said in his tape series on self-esteem that we only have so many attention units and every time we look at something broken or half done [...]
I just want to share a little bit about the adventure I’m on right now. I talked a few weeks ago about automatic writing.I’ve committed to sitting down everyday and meditating for at least 15 minutes and then opening my journal and “listening” to the things that are going on in my mind and then [...]
If changes aren’t happening in your life as quickly as you’d like, remember these two words: Keep Going! Don’t give up!

I’m at a place with my food program and working with the nutritionist where I really need to decide how committed I am to signing up for more sessions. The last few weeks, I have been up and down with following the program which means I have been paying for assistance and not following [...]
I’ve had a couple things riding on my “to do” list for a while and once of those was to schedule a dentist appointment. A while ago I had to cancel a dentist appointment last minute and I never called back to reschedule. It has been on my health and fitness “to do” list ever [...]
I just got off the phone from teaching an early morning teleconference for the University of Texas –teaching nurses and other healthcare providers about Five Minute Stress Management Strategies. Those of you who know me, know I love to speak! Speaking on a teleconference mode is interesting because all the cues about whether the audience [...]
If you are stuck in a mindset of “I can’t” or “It is too hard,” watch this video of Matt Sanford and his mission to bring yoga to people you wouldn’t imagine doing yoga. It will help you be grateful for what your body is able to do and inspire you to change your mind about [...]
Sometimes we need to clarify for ourselves what exactly our health, fitness and life goals are. If you are in the middle of a fitness program–what is it exactly you want that fitness program to do for you? Looking fabulous may be one component but hopefully there are many others like feeling better physically and [...]
