Rolling with change…
I've been away from my website for almost 3 months, and some of that was intentional, and a lot of it was not. I had a bunch of technical problems that caused my website to be down for most, if not all, of this year so far, and we only were able to fix it today. I...
Developing healthy habits
When people are successful, we often want to know how they do it. Well, the answer is by developing powerful habits that help them achieve their goals. While ultimately we want to develop habits for morning, afternoon, and evening to support us on our path, it can...
The top 3 blogs about letting go of fear
Happy Halloween! While today might be a fun time to dress up, play, and get some candy, it's also a good time to reflect on what we are afraid of in our lives. What holds us back from living the life we want to live? I LOVE that today Marie Forleo released a video...
Conscious Eating
How many times have you looked down at your plate, seeing only crumbs, and wondering how you were already done with your meal? How often do you eat lunch at your work desk, catching up on work or scrolling the internet, instead of taking your full lunch break? Do...
Food Rituals
One of the things that I have come to learn lately is about the importance of rituals when it comes to eating. If I don't have a certain level of consciousness and even reverence at mealtimes, I will shovel down food and end up overeating and feeling terrible. Last...

Sauteed Baby Zucchini
There’s something about the “baby” version of veggies that just makes me want to eat them more. I’m guessing I’m not alone since baby carrots are such a staple no one thinks twice about it (even though rumor is they aren’t actually baby carrots anyway but rather full...
Sometimes we need a break
I've been away from blogging for a while, and my cousin asked me last weekend if she was having some technical difficulties because of course she was (so sweetly) expecting the weekly emails that I had promised. The truth is, as I explained to her, I was purposely...
Every Moment We Can Start Over
This morning, I took some deep breaths, closed my eyes, and asked God/The Universe/Divine/Spirit/whatever you want to call it what I should write about. What you needed to hear, and what I needed to hear and remember too. (Psst, I'm human and write these things as...
Add a little fun to your life!
Summertime is the season in Chinese Medicine for fun, togetherness, parties, and connection. One of the ways I have fun- and I don't care if you think it's lame- is to try new foods! Every time I see new fruits or vegetables at the store or market, I buy them to see...
I have a confession to make…
I'm not perfect. Sometimes I can't balance it all. I hate to admit it, because often I can, and certainly I'm seen as someone who can get it done and be counted on to do so. Yet sometimes life is too crazy. I have a 4.5 yr old and an almost 9 month old, a husband,...
Slow and steady wins the race
As humans, we seem to be hard-wired for instant gratification. We also often hope for a big downfall of money- winning the lottery, a bonus at work, an inheritance, selling that collectible item or heirloom for an insane amount of money (a la Antiques Roadshow), or...
