I love a good smoothie, especially this time of year.

When it’s hot outside and I don’t feel like eating a big meal, I know that drinking a smoothie is a great way for me to get a healthy dose of protein, fiber and fats while also reaping the nutritional benefits of fruits, veggies and greens.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about making some changes in my life.

The need to make these changes has been nagging at me for a while now but because I tend to be a creature of habit, change can be a tough one for me.

Whenever I find myself caught up in my own resistance, I look for a “spark of light.”

Spring is finally here and one of my favorite “tools” to align myself with the energy of a new season is changing my diet to include more seasonal foods.

Every season offers us an abundance of fresh, locally grown produce to bring into our kitchen and Spring is no exception.

Your bones are an amazing marvel of design. They give shape to your body, provide levers for movement and protect your inner organs.

Basically, your bones keep you from collapsing into a puddle on the floor. 😉

One of the truly remarkable qualities of our bones is the ability to continuously break down old bone and replace it with new bone.

Your heart is one of the hardest working muscles in your body. Every single minute, this incredible organ pumps about five to six liters of blood throughout your entire body. And that’s just when you’re resting!

Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to take our big hearts for granted and as a result, heart disease has become one of the most widespread and complicated health challenges in the United States and around the world.

Are you ready to make this year the best year of your life? I know I am!

Traditionally, with each new year, we strive to become what we think will be a better version of ourselves.

In doing so, we think about goals, both professional and personal, commitments to relationships, health objectives, travel plans and whatever else we think will make us “better” and dare I say, happier.

Like most kids, when I was younger, I thought Christmas was magical. The lights, the decorations, the family celebrations and, of course, the presents. Everything about the holiday felt special to me.

Now that I’m older, it’s hard not to get nostalgic when I think about those magical moments from my childhood but I have to say, one of my most vivid memories was the tradition of “milk and cookies.”

The holiday season may be called the most wonderful time of the year but between buying gifts, hosting parties, attending family gatherings and trying not to break the bank, it might also be the most stressful time of the year.

Don’t get me wrong….I love the excitement of the holidays but when I find myself rushing around from one thing to the next, I can easily let my self-care fall to the bottom of my to-do list. 🙁
