I woke up thinking where has the time gone? Where have I been? What have I done? That's enough to overwhelm any woman enjoying her first cup of coffee for the day! Ugh! So what's the panic all about? The last month has been a bit challenging again in terms of personal growth. I'm not [...]
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade! I'm not sure who takes credit for that quote, but I found it amusing over the past week while I was slogging through a number of projects, office repairs and paperwork. It felt like I couldn't get on top of anything. Sleep was reduced to a minimum, food was irractic, movement [...]
We are intelligent women, right? Then please, I nearly beg you to use all of your knowledge and previous health history to steer clear of what is now being released by the FDA as an over the counter diet pill that you do not need a prescription for - Alli is a watered down version [...]
OK - summer is here! Although not officially until later this month, but it seems the heat of August is here for an early visit in New York City! For me, it's time for some new movement opportunities. I recently told about moving out of our physical comfort zone, so I'm trying to walk the talk! [...]

The physical body can work [...]
I was stunned on Monday to wake up with little passion or motivation for ANYTHING. Big surprise to me who is used to being fueled daily by inner drive. Now what?! While it initially freaked me out, I realized I needed a bit of time for reflection instead of doing. The season has changed to [...]
International No Diet Day is Sunday, May 6th. It began in 1992 by Mary Evans Young, the director of the British anti-diet campaign Diet Breakers and the author of a best-selling book in Britain titled Diet Breaking: Having It All Without Having To Diet (Hodder & Stoughton, 1995). So what does one do on No Diet [...]
It's my belief when it comes to weight management, women are still searching for the "magic pill." With a $50 billion dollar diet industry, I wonder what is it we are truly looking for? As women, we have an innate sense of our bodies - our bodies are hardwired for health. Yet we continually put ourselves down, [...]
I love to travel and April was certainly a full month for me! First stop was some personal time to visit my parents in a warm, sunny climate. Ahh...felt great for the muscles and bones. Next was to McAlester, Oklahoma to speak at a Wellness Fair. What an amazing experience to travel this country and meet the [...]
