You are, or will become, the average of the five people you associate with the most. ~ Brian Carruthers That little quote says a whole lot. I heard it for the first time many years ago when I was in training for a side career as an Arbonne Consultant. My business goals may have changed […]
USDA Redeems With a Red Flag
The USDA is arguably best known for providing dietary recommendations for Americans. They’re the ones who put out the ever-changing food pyramid, MyPyramid, and now the new MyPlate. Ironically, the two latest and greatest have the least amount of information yet! The food pyramid needed to be updated for sure – thank goodness someone was […]

The Quest for Perfection
There seems to be a stigma about veganism that needs to be addressed. There are some within the vegan community and oodles of non-vegans that have a misconception. A lot of people feel that veganism is a quest for perfectionism. And that stigma keeps a lot of people closed off to the idea of even […]
A Word is Worth a Thousand Words
Pictures are great, songs are lovely, and videos are powerful. But words alone are perhaps the most telling. How we talk: the words we use, and the way we say them, says a lot about us. It says a lot about us as a culture too since our collective language is evolving from our own […]
Vegetarian Summerfest In a Nutshell
I just got home from attending Vegetarian Summerfest. I know, I know, NERD ALERT! Guilty as charged. Vegetarian Summerfest is a 5 day national conference put on by the wonderful people of the North American Vegetarian Society. For 38 years, these folks have been pulling together a community of like-minded people, inundating them with how-to […]
Healthy, Fit, and Fabulous Initiative: Week 6
5 weeks down! We’ve made some serious lifestyle changes. We’ve cut out fast food, excess sugar, cheese, most dairy, and we’re drinking plenty of water.
