I believe in seeking balance in all that we do as that is the key to a healthy and happy life. Health is a a never ending journey. YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH!
It is not something that can be done in one day, but is a choice we make on a daily basis. Regardless of life's natural ups and downs, we still have the option every morning to choose whether we will make decisions that nourish or deplete us. I know that each person is different and has different things that keep them healthy and happy. I know what a dramatic difference a few small changes can mak

Winter solstice in effect, new year around the corner. Appreciate the little things and don't stay stuck in any situation that doesn't fulfill your soul!

Roasted sweet potatoes and cauliflower. Steamed broccoli and spinach. And just a small amount of rice (brown would be better but I didn't have any on hand) for me, I only eat a small amount of grains because they make me tired and slow me down. Not the case for everyone, but part of being healthy is listening to your body and knowing what works regardless of what you're told you should eat.

The first thing I do in the morning when I wake up, before I even get out of bed is journaling. This is where I write about everything I have to do for the day, how I'm feeling and what I am grateful for. Included in my list of things I'm grateful for, I always include my health as part of that list and more often than not it makes the number one spot.
I am physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy which allows me to use my body and mind in pretty much any way I desire. By showing my gratitude for my health, I nourish mind and body every day with physical activity, meditation, and good food.
If you're not nourishing your body, the vessel that is supporting you through life, are you really being grateful for what you have or are you taking it for granted?
What can you start doing today to really show you appreciate everything your body does for you?
What are you grateful for? My list could go on for days, but today I am feeling most grateful for the sunshine, country music, and the amazing friends and family I have.
