Singing the beautiful winter blues until April Fools' Day!


I caved. I've stopped giving into my summery facade. I'm going to just enjoy these winter blues and take time and space and enjoy new habits and most of all acknowledge and enjoy the season!

I'll be back posting on here on April 1st. Meanwhile it's me and the icy rain and dirty snow banks and the slower season that demands my reflections, writing, meditations and holds so much hope for the summery spring and springy summer ahead.

Check back on the blog on & after April 1st! I'm wishing you all a happy season of good times and renewal!

Understanding holistic living...

In the fall I was priveleged enough to experience a few months of the best health ever. I felt wonderful about everything I ate, I sat down to eat slowly and cooked three times a day and exercised a occasionally and felt so positive and great about everything. I discovered how to eat so that I feel wonderful for the first time in my life!

Sadly, sometimes that perfect lifestyle isn't quite so feasible. It's interesting how changing even one little thing in your life or compromising can have negative effects. For example during these past two weeks I've drank 25% of the amount of water that my body is used to and I can assure you that it's probably the reason my mood has tanked. Dehydration. Of course I don't feel dehydrated, but clearly my body needs more water than I've been giving it. Lately I rarely sit down and eat and I made some changes to my food that are not geling well with my body. I feel gassy sometimes and I haven't felt this way until I switched my eating recently so I know that something isn't agreeing with me.

The beautiful thing is that I know exactly what I need to do in order to get my body and life back to the state it thrives best in. So I'm getting there...

Young & carefree!

"An adult is one who has lost the grace, the freshness, the innocence of the child,who is no longer capable of feeling pure joy, who makes everything complicated,who spreads suffering everywhere, who is afraid of being happy, and who,because it is easier to bear, has gone back to sleep. The wise man is a happy child."-Arnaud Desjardins
