An Overjoyed (Not Overwhelmed) ThanksgivingThe fluffy nostalgia of approaching holidays has worn off a bit as to-do list reality and event hosting sets in. This is my favorite time of the year, but in the past I’ve found myself wasting it with fret. Instead of sitting with my family and savoring the company, I busy myself in the kitchen [...] Twenty Under $20: Mind-Body-Soul Gifts by Personal TasteI opened a magazine a few weeks back at random and there in the spread were snowflakes, bows, and gifts, gifts, gifts. Since holiday commercials have been playing since before Halloween (I know, I know, I’m rolling my eyes, too), this was not a surprising reminder of the hustle and bustle that would soon be erupting [...] Nutrition for Natural Health: Go Protein!In the game of natural health, the food we consume is a pretty basic starting point; basic, but sometimes still confusing. I was recently told that I need to try my darnedest to consume protein at every meal, meaning every 4-5 hours. Why the tip?  Obviously balanced nutrients play their role in more ways than we [...] Fantabulous Friday: manifesting a marvelously good weekendAfter a crazy busy few weeks, I fully intend to “chill” this weekend. My couch and a good movie, a leisurely venture out for some shopping, and maybe a nice hike in the woods with my dog is all my body trio are crying for! In case your body-mind-spirit are calling for the same, but you’re not [...] Safety for Goblins and GhoulsI had to roll my eyes as I flipped to the news this week and once again the featured stories were dishing out a whole lot of fear. It seemed a bit overdramatic and completely morbid to sit around watching the form of a little kid in a goblin costume go up in flames, but [...] Grieving for a Stranger: What Steve Jobs Taught MeMy start in the publishing world rested in graphic design. This, of course, means I am a die-hard Mac fan. I love the hardware, the aesthetic appeal, the seamless functioning, and the intuitive use. Macs, I found, are an addiction. I was trained on them and just couldn’t turn back. My first Mac was the heaviest laptop [...] I Took a Stress Test and Failed *Miserably*I took a simple stress test today and was told by this test, “You are basically addicted to stressful states, and your health is at risk.” That was it. No words of wisdom, no encouragement for what I might do to remedy this addiction. So basically they let me know I have an addiction, I’m [...] Mindful Moments: Pause. Ponder. Awaken.Today’s quote for consideration: “A fall from the third floor hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth. If I have to fall, may it be from a high place. -Paulo Coelho With my logical mind turned on, I initially scoffed at this quote. Of course falling from higher up is going to hurt [...] Tuning InThis is a quick little blip on tv shows I’m pretty excited about this season. When the weather gets chilly and wet and especially when the days get shorter and we’re shrouded in darkness, sometimes all I want to do is put on my jammies and curl up on the couch to watch a good [...] My Salad Bowl BeliefSome people believe in one tradition. I used to fall into that category as well. In some ways my single tradition fed me, helped me grow, and was a beautiful thing. Eventually I accepted I’m actually the type who can’t be contained to one system. Instead, I like to enjoy a medley of flavors. I [...] MEET THE BLOGGERS
