Nourishing YOU

As many of our blog posts are, this post was inspired by another blogger’s article I found on TinyBuddha.com. As someone who has an interest in fitness, I’ve noticed that there are so many ways for people to achieve their fitness goals. But, something that many people don’t tend to do is simultaneously nourish their […]

Welcome to Your Life

It is very easy to get distracted from the “here and now“. What with deadlines, future assignments, goals we want to hit, and plans we can’t wait to make, is there really any time TO be present? And, although we can all understand being excited for the future- there is a big difference between being […]

When Life Knocks You Down

Inevitably, there are going to be moments in life where we feel defeated.

Grief: Identify, Accept, Process

  Given the horrific tragedy that took place two weeks ago, I think it is very important for this weeks blog post to discuss grief. The feeling of grief, the process of grief, and the acceptance of grieving. I think it is also extremely important to acknowledge that not everyone grieves the same; nor should […]

Tips For a Healthier, Happier You!
