Each year I run two cleanses, Spring and Fall and my spring cleanse for 2014 is coming up quickly and in perfect timing! The past winter has been a long, cold, snowy one for most of the U.S. and spring is trying to push its way through but old man winter is putting up a grand…… Continue reading Spring Cleanse 2014!
I’m still working on #6, reviewing and doing 1-5 as well as an added habit #7, one plate per meal. I am a huge fan of going back for seconds especially if the food tastes good and fresh. I justify my actions by saying it’s healthy, it’s all veggies or lean or whole grains or that…… Continue reading Habit # 7 – One plate is enough
Reviewing things you’ve learned or created is a healthy habit to practice. Often times we set out to do a particular thing but find ourselves halfway committed or falling in and out of practice with it. My intention for this year is to adopt 26 new and good habits and since I’m a little behind in…… Continue reading Habit #6 – Review & Do 1-5
Who doesn’t love a comfort meal? Shepherd’s Pie might not be an elegant dish or a comfort meal for some but for me it is, especially the way I make it. I love changing up my recipes depending on my mood or what I have on hand. Today, although it’s the day before the…… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie the Initiate Wellness Way
I used to stand up at work all day when I was cutting hair and I loved it; now that my work involves a lot of sitting at the desk I need to get up and move around. Sitting isn’t one of my favorite things to do so I make it a point to get up…… Continue reading Habit # 5 – Get moving every hour
I decided that I need to get moving! Winter is sort of long and messy where I live so walking, cycling, hiking etc. outdoors is a challenge. I decided to invest in an inexpensive stationary bike that both of us (significant other) can use. We did a little research and chose the Schwinn A 10…… Continue reading Habit #4 – Cycling
Every so often someone says something to me that penetrates deeply into my soul. One such case happened in the latter part of 2008. I had been searching for a new chiropractor, someone I could trust, who knew their stuff inside-out and who was professional. After some time, research and high praises from friends/acquaintances I found exactly…… Continue reading Stand Tall
We all know how to juggle – maybe not in the circus clown sense but in the sense of life’s responsibilities we do. Some juggle better than others and that’s perfectly normal; no two of us are exactly alike and that is what makes us all uniquely special. Some of us juggle household & family responsibilities,…… Continue reading Juggling & Keeping Up the Pace
From a very young age we all, men included, had an idea of what our lives might look like when we grew up. We had dreams of what job we would be doing and those characters changed as we changed, as our lives changed. For some of us those dreams were just that, dreams -…… Continue reading When the Life You Imagined Isn’t the Life You’re Living
Lately I’ve been in a slight mental fog. I’m thinking/hoping maybe it’s just because of the lull after the storm called ‘the holidays’; maybe it’s the fact that a year has come and gone and the beginning of a new one is upon us? Whatever the cause may be, I need to – I want…… Continue reading Are You in a Mental Fog?
