“Vulnerability is about having the courage to show up and be seen.” ~Brene Brown
When I was twenty-seven someone told me I had old looking skin.
Up until I heard this comment, I had never given much thought to my skin. Ever since, however, it’s been the only thing I see when I look in the mirror.
Lately, I have been diving deeper into the inner areas of my life that still need further integration. Making themselves most apparent as top priorities are self-love and acceptance.
A good friend recently told me that she has started to look at herself in the mirror every day and say “I love you,” and really mean it.
She said when she first started this exercise, all she could see was the line that was between her eyebrows. Her one flaw.
Before my friend mentioned this line in her face, I had never really noticed it.
My friend has big, beautiful, blue eyes, and those are all I see every time I talk to her.
This conversation was quite eye opening. It made me admit that I do the same thing.
The only things I see in the mirror are the lines in my face, and I think, “maybe I need to get a facelift.”
I am committed…

Dear sharp reader,
It’s been a busy year.
To summarize where we are, and to better prepare for the opportunities and challenges in the year ahead, let’s step back for a minute.

Our gut is comprised of trillions of microscopic organisms that live within our gastro-intestinal tract. These bacteria make up over 90% of the cells of our body. The health of these cells is vitally important to the overall health of our bodies. These cells need to exist in a delicate balance between “good” and ”bad” bacteria. When our bacteria balance gets disrupted, weight gain, depression, brain fog, headaches, skin rashes and anxiety can all appear. When our body is in balance, our healthy bacteria produces over 80% of our body’s serotonin, produces vitamins, digests our food, extracts the nutrients from food, help control our appetite, and regulates our metabolism. These tiny organisms are crucial for our survival! Unfortunately, today’s environment offers multiple assaults on these important microbes.

What am I looking for? What does this prepositional phrase mean? To look might be to seek or to examine or to hunt or to explore or to pursue or, perhaps, even to quest. The question implies a mission of sorts; not merely looking for your car keys or that little scrap of paper where you wrote that essential bit of information that now is eluding your grasp. No, this question is existential, karmic, soulful, infinite, eternal, celestial at best. It can also be frightening, damning, incriminating, provocative and infernal at the dire end of the spectrum. Really, what am I doing here? What is the purpose of my existence? Is there is no purpose? That conclusion is unbearable. To go on, we must believe that there is indeed a mission.
What is my mission then? I feel I must answer this before I can consider, in all aspects, the question of what I am looking for. As I approach having completed nearly 60 journeys around the sun, I am surprised, maybe a bit saddened, but also gladdened that there is no clear or simple or obvious answer to this question.
On the one hand, I would have expected, by age 58, to have found for what I am searching; that the mission would have been clearly defined by now, and perhaps all or mostly completed, leaving me to spiritually rest on the lifetime of laurels I have been amassing.
On the other hand, I would hope to always be renewing my mission, and therefore, my quests. Perhaps, the life well-lived is a s…

End of year festivities are now in full swing with our focus on friends, family and food. In this blog I look at how diet can affect your mental health, and share some healthy eating tips to get you through the silly season without the mood swings and guilt.
We all have anecdotal evidence to support the notion that how you feel can affect the foods you choose to eat. If you’re in a negative mood, you’re more likely to choose indulgent, comfort foods that are sugary, fatty or salty instead of opting for nutritious options.
What is less understood is the causal relationship between food and how it affects brain function and mood.

When you work out regularly, you notice the benefit of rest days for allowing your body’s natural recovery processes—such as muscle repair, inflammation reduction, and hormonal rebalancing—to occur. After one or two recovery days, you feel rested, stronger and motivated for the workouts to come.
Neglect to rest and you risk burning out, or worse, “overtraining.”
But did you know that your body and mind can suffer overtraining-like effects as a result of overworking too? It’s true. According to an NPR study, 83 percent of Americans are presently stressed by their jobs, many of whom may be unaware of the extreme toll that stress is taking on their health.
Fatigue, body aches, lack of focus and irritability are some of the signs you’re not coping well with stress. Pushing through these symptoms isn’t getting you ahead; in fact, you’re risking serious long-term health consequences that will cost you—and your employer—dearly in terms of sick days and declining efficacy.
The good news is that you can excel at work while becoming more resilient to stress. The solution lies in managing your workday like a workout comprised of active periods and rest periods.

When the words ‘inflatable’ and ‘santa’ get combined with ‘5k’, it doesn’t take a genius to work out that it’s probably gonna be a LOT OF FUN.
And alright I know it’s still November but I also know that some people have already got their Christmas trees up, and Brighton’s Christmas lights are already in place so don’t look at me with your Bah Humbug vibes 🙂
