I love all things health and wellness–and by wellness, I mean mind, body, and soul. I’m not an expert by any means, but I do have a lot of opinions–developed through study and personal experience. I share them here. I’d love to learn from your experience as well, so I encourage you to share anything and everything about health and wellness.
Happy Friday! Looking back over my week, it was clear today’s Friday Favorites would be all about our home away from home. Hawkes Landing is open for the season! This is the view that greeted us. It never gets old! I am so grateful for our cabin in this quaint little city, for Mother Nature’s…
Happy Friday! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Actually, it’s been a beautiful week around here–weatherwise and otherwise! 🙂 I hope yours was the same. Saturday was perfect football weather (yes, you can find football in the spring if you know where to look). These girls are 12 years old and fierce! I couldn’t…
My how time flies! Apparently–according to the calendar, at least–we are one month into spring. I’m not sure Old Man Winter got the message. Nevertheless, I am moving full-speed ahead (or slightly below the speed limit) on my Spring Bucket List. Health and fitness 1. Train for and complete the Utah Valley 10k. I started…
I’m still on vacation–our final day–so I’m sharing one more past blog post. I chose this one because at the time I wrote it, I was going through hell, and yet here I am on the other side, whole and happy, more at peace than I have ever been. This post is a message of…
I’m on vacation this week, taking a break even from blogging, but I didn’t want to let a Tuesday go by without posting, so I decided to share an oldie, but goodie (at least I hope you think so). Last week, I was sitting on a beautiful beach, enjoying the rugged black lava rocks and…
I want to be like a caterpillar. Eat a lot. Sleep for awhile. Then wake up beautiful. We’ve come to the end of the Orangetheory 8-week transformation challenge, and while I’m not exactly transformed, I am a couple of pounds lighter and a whole lot more educated. Workouts Achievements. Over the course of the challenge,…
I love the start of each new season. It always feels like an opportunity for new beginnings and fresh starts. That is especially true of spring, which is naturally the season of rebirth. This week brought my first trail run of the season. I am so lucky to have the beautiful Jordan River Parkway so…
If I were sitting across from you today and asked the question “Who are you?” how would you answer? If it were our first meeting, I assume you would start with your name, but beyond that basic title, who are you? If you asked me, I might say I’m a middle-aged woman, a mother, a…
I’ve long been intrigued by essential oils, for the simple pleasure of the scents, but also for their apparent health-promoting properties. Finally, about nine months ago I decided to give them a try, and I’m hooked. Part of the reason I took so long to actually try oils is that all the options and ways…
A couple of months ago, Leanne at Cresting the Hill posed five tough questions that she’d asked herself for the first time. She also shared a link to the article that inspired her query, 50 Tough Questions You Never Ask Yourself, but Should, by Marla Tabaka. After thinking long and hard about the five questions…
