Always Assume the Best
(Originally posted 10.15.10) I, for one, am not found of assumptions. They seem to lead in the wrong direction, influence negative thoughts, promote gossip, create unnecessary worry, and bring hidden fears to the forefront of the mind. Assuming leads to confusion, break downs in communications, and can cause two forces…
Gettin’ Sweet on Sacrifice
(Originally posted 10.14.10) Sacrifice. Man that word makes my heart sink! I envision having to cut off a limb or do something else I’d really prefer not to be doing. Any situation that involves sacrifice paints a picture in my mind of a lose-lose situation. And I only like to…
Fear Factor
(Originally posted 10.13.10) In my opinion, the worst 4-letter word in our vocabulary is fear. Although in some occasions, fear can serve to keep us safe, generally speaking, fear keeps the majority of the population too safe for their own good—or for the good of the world as a whole.…
Awesome Authority
(Originally posted 10.12.10) Authority. I don’t know about you, however, much like the word disciple, authority brings up a touch of resistance within me every time I read, hear or say the word. Authority makes me think restriction, and restriction makes me want to rebel (hope I’m not alone in…

Conscious Creation – Creating Your Reality
I’m switching gears today from sharing food from my kitchen to sharing some food for thought. In a video series I’m doing for my virtual coaching clients, I have begun sharing what I believe to be the steps to creating, manifesting, bringing into existence that which you desire to have…
A Labor of Loving Myself
Three of the most common objections I get from others in regards to eating fresh, clean, whole foods is the time, money, and energy involved in going clean. I feel those objections are the very reason I stick to a clean eating lifestyle. For each of these, we must consider…
Go Nuts…and Never Count Calories Again!
One of my favorite things about my pescetarian, nutritional cleansing lifestyle is the fact that I never have to count calories. NEVER. I never count calories, fat, carbs, sugars, or proteins. I never even read the nutritional labels! This practice has become obsolete in my world. If you are open…
Portobello…The Other Brown Meat
When people find out that I’m vegetarian, they always ask me how long I’ve been eating this way. A lot of people are shocked to hear that it’s been over a year, and I find that odd because I spent 31 years not being vegetarian. The other question that generally…
