Originally posted in March 2016. Rewriting and #reposting There are not many things that bring more joy into my life than giving to someone else. How can I serve the people around me who I care about and love dearly? How can I serve those in my community? How can I serve this stranger who […]
“They taste like dirt.” When you hear “beets,” is this your first thought? You may not be thinking this: Beets, with their vibrant color and high anti-oxidant levels, are a super source of immune-boosting vitamin C, fiber, and essential minerals like potassium (required for healthy nerve and muscle function) and manganese (necessary for healthy bones, liver, kidney, and pancreas).

I have many friends who have struggled with this age, some who have celebrated, some cried and for others, it’s just another year. For me, Tuesday will be another work day with some added bonus […]
“Change your thoughts, and you’ll change your world.” Everyone is important to someone. Everyone deserves a compliment. Change your thought from one of complaint to one of appreciation. Appreciation for others. Appreciation for yourself. I posted this on my Facebook page this morning referring to exercise. The amazing ability that our bodies have to do […]
School always starts here in NC the week before Labor Day; which I used to complain about but now I am seeing a new light 🙂 It is actually quite nice to get back into the swing of school, schedules, healthier habits and routine AND still have a 3 day weekend to look forward to!! […]
