Wellness Wednesday: Envision Your Life

Wellness Wednesday: Quench Your Thirst!
I know so many people who avoid drinking water like it's the plague. In fact, NPR reports that "one-quarter of a broad cross-section of children ages 6 to 19 apparently don't drink any water as part of their fluid intake." I've heard so many excuses as to why: It's too cold. It's too bland. I… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Quench Your Thirst!

Friends! It's almost time to celebrate, toss your texts to the side, and kick up your feet.

Wellness Wednesday: Electric Smoothie
I know this week we've been talking all things patience, and I oftentimes feel as though the morning rush is really testing said patience. With sleep still covering my eyes and drool fresh on my pillow, making breakfast is the last thing on my mind. In fact, it's not even on my radar. If this… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Electric Smoothie
Motivational Monday: Remember Who You Are
One of my favorite contemporary poets recently posted some beautiful words of wisdom and comfort on her Instagram that I think are worth sharing: "Even when you feel like the world has let you down, please remember who you are and what you stand for."- Alex Elle This makes me think of that pivotal scene in Disney's… Continue reading Motivational Monday: Remember Who You Are
Wellness Wednesday: Moving On After Election Day
Dearest friends, Today is admittedly a difficult and confusing day. I'd much rather be at home, tucked away in the safety and comfort of my bed, than at work, and I'm sure so many of you feel similarly.
