As we wrap up the 12 Days of Christmas with the 12 Drummers drumming, I was reminded of a workshop I participated in many years ago.  Sound is therapeutic and used for healing in many cultures. This workshop focused on drumming. 🥁 The workshop leader demonstrated how one drum played rhythmically created an invisible pulsing…

We are on our way home from a 3-week adventure to Latin America. Tonight I will sleep in my own bed. And return “Elsa … the magical chewy ice maker” to service. AHHHH! This was a trip we had not prioritized … even though it had been on the “bucket list” 📝 for many years….

From the 80s to the 40s. The outside temperature 🥶 is not my preference. If you’re one of those people who enjoys the cold damp winters in the south, I applaud you. 👏 The beach is still there … I just want no part of it. Every year I say I’m going to do a better job of preparing but I am…

I walked in the snow ☃️ this week … in Hilton Head. Cold weather isn’t my jam but there’s something refreshing about snow.  Clean. White. Sparkly! It brings back fond memories with my beloved Westie, Duncan. We lived in Colorado for a couple of years and he LOVED the snow. I put his fur lined…

In my book, “What’s Your Kryptonite™?”, I encourage readers to avoid “That Chair.”  This week I had a conversation with a colleague who had unfortunately been a witness to what I warned would happen if symptoms were suppressed and the root cause of health issues allowed to escalate. Her mom ended up there … … in THAT CHAIR!  It’s…

Developing awareness … especially self-awareness … is one of the best uses of your time. It was essentially the focus of my first book, “Sage Advice™.” 📚 You ARE the Sage! So, over the past 40 years, I’ve studied more systems for exploring self than I could list here … without boring you to pieces. When I heard about a…

Tomorrow is a holiday in the USA. President’s Day. I thought that we would be celebrating a milestone this year. The first Madame President. The reality is not what I had hoped. But I still have control over my thoughts … and the resulting feelings. 💭 Sure. It’s more challenging when we aren’t happy with what we see….

You may recall that I compare the human body to a rechargeable battery.🔋 While there are some differences, there are similarities that can help us understand how the body makes and stores energy. To start with, the human body creates electrical potential through ion movement, particularly exploiting the sodium and potassium pumps in cells. This biological system is…

Travel is life-enhancing. It’s good for us to be forced out of our comfort zone regularly.  It improves our health in many ways … unless the choices for nutrition are limited.  Options may not be limited for the natives, but for those of us non-natives finding a nutrient-dense satisfying meal can be a problem. This…

It’s been frustrating lately. 😩 As someone committed to changing the way we approach health and wellness, it’s surprising that there are STILL so many obstacles for those of us offering a fresh perspective. My perspective … and approach … wasn’t developed from random sources. It’s been curated from many global leaders that are equally committed…
