Hello, Hello…Is There Anybody Out There???
We crave connection. We are hard-wired for it on a primal level. Everyone is seeking connection, and if they tell you they aren't, they are lying and fooling themselves. We need to connect. However, it is all about the ways in which we connect that count. In this day,...
The Price of Free
What does FREEDOM mean to you? Here in America, we are gearing up for a holiday weekend, Memorial Day. It is a day to honor those who have given their lives for the freedom of others, which has somehow translated to "Let's have a BBQ!" I'm all in favor of a good...
Is your food SMART?
We know that food is crucial to our survival, but the right food will help you to not only live, but to thrive. Don't you want to live life at the most optimal level? What we put in (and on) our bodies matters and has the capability to add to our lives in a way that...
I’m Not Special and Neither Are You.
Let me explain... I had bronchitis. It almost pains me to even say it and admit it. Maybe that's why I didn't go to the doctor for (cough) six (cough) weeks. You see, I thought I was special. "It's just a cough. It will go away on its own." I kept saying this to...

2015 was an amazing year. In a word: transformative. In a phrase: Game changer. As incredible as it was, let’s be real too, there were also some not so great things too. You know what though? It’s okay. I’ve learned from those less than stellar happenings. I’ve...
STOP what you are doing. I want you to do NOTHING.
Do you know what we all have in common? We all have the same amount of time in a day to work with...24 hours. The President of the United States, the Pope, you, me - we all only have 24 hours in a day. Now, what sets us a part, of course, is how we choose to spend...
Where do you want to be one year from now?
Have you ever been so fired up about something that you want to share it with everyone around you? As I sat in my seat in the arena amongst 10,000+ other individuals from around the world, who all shared the same vision – empowering individuals to lead healthier...
To dive or to dip?
To dive in head first or to dip your toes in gently? It's a question we are faced with many times throughout our life. There does not need to be one clear choice. It's dependent on the situation. I'm not yet ready to dive in, but I want to test the waters. My heart is...
