November Update
I’m on a roll for missing things these days! I missed the October Update – which I just realized yesterday. I missed Make it Happen Monday last week (sorry!) ! I have never claimed to be the most organized person ever. Maybe that should be my goal for 2018… which is slowly sneaking up on…

September Update
Do you ever look back and realize how many of your seemingly insignificant decisions and small daily steps have actually led up to something much bigger? As if all along, you never knew these small things would matter, and all of a sudden the universe comes together to show you: they really do. That’s been…

#betterskin Challenge – Week 2
You know how sometimes things get worse, before they get better? That’s me right now. I got my period this week, and the week before I always get a nasty, hormonally driven breakout. The big blemishes that hurt – those are what I have to deal with this time of month. Ugh! But let me…

#betterskin Challenge – Week 1
You know those New Years Resolutions that you seem to make every year, yet somehow they never make it on the to-do list? Me too. Working on improving my skin has been a reoccurring goal for me – yet I’ve never attempted it with any sort of plan or focus. But today, that’s all gonna…

July Update

My First Float Experience
On the surface, stepping into a float tank might seem a little ridiculous for someone with anxiety to do. I mean, why would an anxious person want to be alone, in the dark, with nothing but their thoughts, encased in a float pod and losing awareness of their own body? Half that stuff I do…

Anti-Drug? Nope – I’m ON drugs.
Getting into the holistic health industry is nothing short of fascinating, and on a personal level this journey has changed my life. The learning curve has been more of a steep hill, but I’ve managed it. I’ve made changes not just in food, but also in my routine , and this has given me a…

June Update ’17
I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to share with you some really important news: I went to the best. farm. EVER. last weekend. It’s called Kangaroo Creek Farm – nestled in the Okanagan they provided the most hands-on animal experience I’ve ever had. I got up close with a sugarglider, kangaroos, goats, capybaras, chickens, and…

May Update
I find this time of year to be so interesting. It’s spring. It’s supposed to be a time of cleansing, releasing, growing, and change. A time to bloom. But I never feel like I’m blooming this time of year… I feel like I’m… flailing. Falling? Like I’m floating through space trying to grab a hold…
