Fed Up

Fed Up In order for real change to take place, one must be so fed up with the old that there is no other choice but the new.  The former way of life must no longer hold us in her grips, allowing room for existence to be altered as needed.  But no matter how you […]

Fed By Fear

Fed By Fear Sit quietly for a moment and after reading the following words, stare off into the distance and reflect on what arises for you.  What feeds you?  What absolutely nourishes your soul and leaves you well fed?  Let your mind wander from food to drinks to creative abilities to music to relationships to, […]

The Heart Of Hunger

The Heart of Hunger During any nutritional change one is always drawn to the heart of hunger, the root of appetite.  As someone commits and embarks on a new diet, there are moments of clarity when one realizes her propensity to certain foods and the momentary gains from eating them.  Making any changes in our […]

The Way Out

The Way Out We all have so many hopes and dreams but why is it that so many of them go unpursued?  We have the entire world at our fingertips.  We have all the time in the world yet not a moment to lose, dancing the thin line between freedom and urgency.  We live in […]

Whatever Tomorrow Brings

Whatever Tomorrow Brings Participating in the Whole30 for 13 days, and counting, I recognize how much planning it has taken to ensure I have maintained within the program’s guidelines, especially when it comes to having an animal source protein readily available.  In recent years, I have practiced mostly a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, making meals that plan […]

Something To Believe In

Something To Believe In If you look more closely at why you do what you do and why you want what you want, you will notice that there is a defining thread that connects the two with common outcomes in your life.  That thread is your core beliefs.  At the heart of our motives, it […]

When Is Enough, Enough?

When Is Enough, Enough? What is enough these days?  In a world inundated with plenty, it is tough to tell.  We live in a time where grocery store shelves are over-stocked, where there is a fast-food chain on every corner, usually open for 24-hours a day, and where media outlets send us endless messages that […]
