Here I am.  Only, I'm not sure who *I* really am anymore.

I'm not the same as I was months ago.

I was so positive and so filled with motivation. 

No more.

I sit here in my bath towel, after only getting out of bed at 12:30 pm, and the… Read full post »

Women's " i love me " circle

I'm your holistic health counselor who needs/wants to lose weight.  Now, I'm not talking 10 lbs., I'm talking 80-100, so I can be within a healthy range.  I also need to get some things in my life in order, so that it's easier for… Read full post »

Let's just get right to the meat of it, okay?

When I was growing up, I was sexually abused by at least 3 different people, at three different times in my childhood.  

My 2nd grade year is a complete blur; can't remember anything, not my teacher, not anything.  I can reme… Read full post »

Today is day #8, and my husband is out buying me Taco Bell and ice cream. 

We had our latest semen analysis done, and just got the results back today.  They found nothing.  Zip.  Zilch.  Nada. 

I didn't want my husband to see me upset, so I must have… Read full post »

Well, today is day #3, and I AM PISSED OFF!  Mostly mad at myself...

I decided to gently follow this 21-day kickstart to a vegan way of living, offered by Dr. Neal Barnard of PCRM.  I read all of his recommendations, and decided since I know raisins don't work for my… Read full post »

Well, its day #2, and I am still alive!  WOOHOO!! 

I did give-in to the ice cream last night, but that’s okay.  This journey is about living in balance, and being gentler on myself.  I am learning to care for myself the way I care for my clients, so it’s all… Read full post »

So, here I am, day #1 of the first 21 days of my 365 day challenge of transformation; mind, body & spirit… 

Yeah, that was a mouthful.   

I typed up this really pretty schedule on Microsoft Word last night, dividing my day up for fun, work, creativity, physical activity… Read full post »

Did someone say "orgasmic?"  Mmmmm...

Well, okay, not quite the Wizard, but I am off....to Mexico!!  WOOHOO!

Yes, I did say "lick me!"  And I mean it.  Lick me, lick me, LICK ME!! 

Today is day #15, and the only refined sugar I have had was the other day when I raided my husband's Doritos (did you know they have sugar?!) because I was starving and nothing… Read full post »

For the record, no, I am not a "fat" girl.  Who I am goes so much deeper than that.  I am not defined by my weight, or my nationality, or my looks.  I just so happen to have some extra...okay, lots of extra, fat on my body.  

I think The Big Kahuna… Read full post »

I know you really want to know the word I'm talking about. I know it's just eating away at you!!

Ready? Here goes. When people say this word, my whole body cringes and my face scrunches like I just tasted something gross!

Ugh.

E-X-E-R-C-I-S-E!

YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!!

To me, "exercise" means doing something I/…

I sat with my husband and a few relatives, surrounded… Read full post »

This journey of mine is about walking my talk. It's about healing my mind, body and spirit. This journey is about creating a life I love. As my parents used to say, I've got to practice what I preach. So here I am.

My plan is to change my diet. I'm… Read full post »

Ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Well, I kind of asked for it. I went to the doctor to try and figure out this mystery going on with my back. I need to know why it hurts so bad, so I can heal it.

I happened to mention that I tend to live in… Read full post »

With the help of my business buddy/spiritually-connected friend, Deb, I realized something about my upcoming 365 day personal challenge...

The challenge (for the most part) is about me learning how to nourish myself the way I do everyone else...

It's about being the client I care for, take under my wi… Read full post »

Ever since I was a little girl, and my father smiled at me from ear to ear when getting me to taste a food he loved himself, food has meant so much more than just "fuel" for my body.

I learned (through repetition) that food brought together people who didn't speak the… Read full post »
