Food Rituals

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...

Use this simple tip to help attract more money and feel abundant…
I grew up pretty much never wanting for much of anything. We had a very nice house, a beach house, and my dad drove Corvettes. We took annual trips to Florida to go to Disney World. We had whatever was the latest cool thing, be it Swatch watches, Reebok pump or...
Do this ONE thing to manifest magic in your life…
Is there something you're looking to add more of, to have less of, or to otherwise change in your life? Take a moment and think about it. Do you have the home you want? Are you making the income you want? Do you have yet to meet that special someone? Are you...
The role of epigenetics in our health
I recently read the book, “Super Genes” by Rudi Tanzi and Deepak Chopra, which deals with the role that epigenetics and the microbiome play in our health. Blogging For Books provided the book to me for free, in exchange for my review. I was curious about what the...
