Violets – Weeds or Wellness?

  • by

I had a self-employment side gig one time helping a friend with some gardening.  Simple stuff – put some new plants in and pull some weeds out.  One thing that frustrated her were the number of “weeds” that seemed to be competing with her for property ownership.  Tiny purple flowers on shepherd’s hook-like stems scattered themselves throughout her garden beds and crept their way into her lawn.  They were Violets, and to my friend, they were the enemy and need to be yanked out & disposed of. Looking back, oh… Read More »Violets – Weeds or Wellness?

When was the last time you spent a night with friends to blow off steam and exchanged cocktails & complaining for mocktails & me time?

If you love healthier recipes, are a pancake fan, strawberries are your jam, you think “Less time in the kitchen, Man!”, or “E” all of the above, this post is for you!  Pancakes are a Fam-Favorite in many homes, but so many of the recipes that are out there are full of unhealthy, processed ingredients or leave you feeling like you just ate a 5-gallon bucket of lead.  Do you agree?  Well, pancake love doesn’t have to be that way.  In fact, pancakes can be gut-friendly, include healthier ingredients, and… Read More »Strawberry & Lemon Pancakes

It’s Ok To Say, “I’m Not In A Good Place.”

  • by

It’s been a challenging week to process.  Mentally & emotionally.  I’ve heard the word twice this week.  And I’d be lying if I said it didn’t affect me.  Suicide.  Twice in the same day, I was faced with working through the very real topic of suicide.  First, a friend called crying to say that her daughter wanted to and acted on attempting to take her own life.  Later that same day, the news about Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss came across the feed.  My heart sank, I uttered a low “ugh” and… Read More »It’s Ok To Say, “I’m Not In A Good Place.”

Please Don’t Leave

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.  There are many versions of what mental health looks like and everyone has thoughts and ideas on what mental health means to them.  But, one thing for certain is that there is a very imminent need for more resources to help both men and women to find what they need for their peace, wellness & health of mind, body AND soul because they are, after all, related. Thankfully, awareness is increasing & the stigma that mental health challenges mean weakness is decreasing.  But, we… Read More »Please Don’t Leave

Releasing The Old & Finding The New With Firewalking

  • by

In November 2017,  I had the opportunity to participate in a Firewalking ceremony.  I was afraid, intimidated and not quite certain why I was there.  In October that year, I created & started The ‘Me Project’ – 30 Days of Getting My Sh*t Together (see our ‘Me Project’ page) to get my life back on track through my self and soul care.  I was seeking opportunities to feed my mind, body & soul when a Firewalk came across my FB feed through a friend.  After much deliberation, at the last… Read More »Releasing The Old & Finding The New With Firewalking

Have you experienced true, full-bodied joy?

It Never Even Occurred to Me…

As I watched the video of the poor man lying there being flattened into the ground with a knee in his throat, pleading for air & his mother, it shocked & disturbed me.  Then, when I saw the stream of, what appeared to be urine, flowing from under the cruiser & his body limp as an old rag doll being lifted onto the ambulance stretcher…I instinctively took in a deep breathe in, said, “Oh my God” & I cried.  I couldn’t help but, think, “What in the hell was that? … Read More »It Never Even Occurred to Me…

Gratitude For Being a Failure (sensitive topic)

Something happened the other day that’s really been on my mind lately. The son of someone that I went to high school with committed suicide.  A mutual friend told me that he hung himself in his garage.  His name was Alan.  Alan was 14.  Even as I type the words, chills run up and down my body.  Horrible.  I feel just absolutely, completely, utterly HORRIBLE.
