OMGSH! SHU@#$ UP!!!!! The voice in my head is so loud, I often can’t hear anything BUT what it’s saying! There was a time, when I was younger and maybe more naïve or idealistic that the voice in my head was much quieter. I was more tuned into the world outside of me, than what
Fall has arrived! It’s starting to cool down outside. Aside from wrapping a scarf around my neck and pulling out my fall jacket, I find myself wanting some heavier but delicious comfort foods. A fresh green summer salad just doesn’t have the same appeal on a crisp cool day. But it’s not grease that I’m wanting,
Are we are too technologically advanced to retreat back to simpler times, simpler forms of communication. Remember the good ol’ days when we use to write and mail letters? How about the days that e-mailing just started to gain popularity? Remember the days when people use to call each other? Played their messages out loud
Weeding is a tedious and laborious task. But it’s a necessary one. Weeding opens the space for plentiful growth and abundance. Sure some weeds can have some positive attributes, but they all, on a basic level, are competitive by nature. They compete for soil, nutrients, sunlight and water.

Funny I started this fixer upper project (my body) back in August of last year, at which time I weighed 147.2lbs. That was over seven months ago. And here I am now, 6 six days away from my dress fitting. What was I hoping for? Big changes. What was I expecting? Miracles. What did I
A Visit to the East I realized recently, when my girlfriend’s father was in the hospital with a very serious brain hemorrhage, how much we rely on western medicine, and how much trust we are asked to put into what seem to be “guesses” than diagnoses. I won’t blame the Doctors, the Nurses or the system,
I love this time of year, fresh starts and new beginnings. New year’s resolutions often sound cliché but isn’t it funny how a part of us buy into them, why else would January be the busiest time for gyms and trainers? Well in all honesty, what better time to refocus and renew oneself but at
While some weight loss is intentional, that certainly isn’t always the case. Typical weight loss is ego based, lending to specific action and intention, we want to look better, so we do these things to accomplish that. But when weight loss is medically based; it’s an entirely different ballgame. I have a girlfriend who I
It’s pretty amazing the transformations people are able to effect over themselves and in their own lives. I must admit that when I see those typical “before and (ridiculously different) after” shots on infomercials, I grimace. I subconsciously and suspiciously take them with a grain of salt.
