Every time I hear the phrase Outrageous Joy, I can’t help but smile. Why does the concept sound so absurd and abnormal in everyday life? I have read a gazillion books about how to be healthy in body and in mind…and in whatever else there is besides those two things. Our relationship to the universe? …
As I read Wendy’s story, I just get this big grin on my face…she is a true inspiration and proof that it is possible to take control of your own health! I met Wendy when I was wellness coaching full-time in the corporate setting. She was 22 years-old, and gearing up for her wedding day! …
Random things for today. 1. I have been getting a lot of emails from my workshop participants who want an electronic copy of the smoothie recipes. So I posted the smoothie workshop recipes in a new page tab (see above). There are also a bunch of other ones if you click on smoothies/juices in the …

I’ve felt slightly off-track lately with food and fitness. My yoga teacher went to India for a month, so I boycotted yoga. I canceled my gym membership at the million dollar fancy gym (ok, it was only $115 a month…but geez). I had a hip problem, and a hip flexor problem…and a lower back problem. …

It’s quite easy for me to think positively as I’m sitting on the porch in 70-degree weather in sunny Florida. This isn’t always the case (flash forward to me arriving home in the frozen tundra of Rochester this evening). It also isn’t the case that everything is always ideal in life. You know, there are curveballs and …
Greetings from sunny Orlando! First, this post is really about granola, literally and figuratively. Yesterday, Woman’s Day magazine online posted my suggestion for their Snack Smart section of their healthy living blog. Check it out here (it’s only a paragraph…but it would be awesome if you’d go there and leave a comment!). Random update: It’s …
I kept my apartment totally clean this week. Everyday, I picked up my stuff, cleaned the kitchen, put things where they belong, and made the bed (well, Joe might have done that). Does this sound like a big deal? Because it was. And it was easy too. That’s not to say I never made a …
I’m working at home again (read: big smile and daytime pj’s—which could usually double as yoga attire, but my yoga instructor is in India right now). I meant to go get coffee at Starbucks, but when I went outside, I only made it as far as Bruegger’s (crossing Monroe felt like too big of a …
