The first thing I would like to do is apologize for my absence. It was not planned; it just happened. Life happens, right? Sometimes we lay out a plan and everything goes according to our plan. More often, we lay out a plan and unplanned things get in our way. Life gets in our way. […]
During April we asked “Is there one best measurement for health?” BMI, clothing size, body composition, and waist size were explored. So, what is the answer? Well, there is no one answer. Some, or all, of them combined are the best answer. Why is that? Let’s recap… Clothing size – There are no standards. You […]
It seems that it is unofficially National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. That said, I’m reposting my “Evolution of a Grilled Cheese Sandwich” to remind us that we need to be open-minded and allow for change. Ah, who doesn’t remember the days of their youth when Mom would make a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch? For […]
Is the glass half empty or half full? Some days we may see it half empty, while others we may see it half full. The goal is that we see it half full the majority of the time. We are here to enjoy life. Some days that is more challenging than others. Life throws curve […]

Ah, who doesn’t remember the days of their youth when Mom would make a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch? For me, I remember it being a pretty basic sandwich – two slices of bread and some slices of cheese. I don’t even remember if there were condiments on it… Yep, that sums it up. And […]
February is “Heart Health”, “Heart Awareness”, “American Heart”… month. Whatever name “we” choose to call it, the focus is solely on “our” hearts; the understanding and health of our hearts while reducing our risk of heart disease. A friend of mine suggested doing a 28 day challenge in February and I loved the idea. So […]
Happy 2015 to everyone! If you are like me, you are in the 58% group from the inaugural InSpearational Health poll that doesn’t make Near Year’s Resolutions. That doesn’t mean I don’t have goals, it just means I no longer create resolutions. When I was young, I was a nail biter. Every year I would […]
