Self-Care Sunday: Your Health is Everything

This is a friendly reminder from someone who just turned 57, that health is not something to take for granted. We spent the last weekend moving out my mother’s furniture in order to get the house ready for the new owner. And we are still feeling the consequences of it this weekend! Each day is … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Your Health is Everything

Alright Vegetarians, I’ll Try It!

Since I began pursuing becoming a health coach, my Instagram feed began filling up with all of these vegetarians demonizing meat and milk products as killer foods. It seems their solution is to stock up on food I don’t normally buy, like nutritional yeast and white miso paste so I can make a palatable vegetarian … Continue reading Alright Vegetarians, I’ll Try It!

Self-Care Sunday: Crushing the New Year!

It was very bad luck that I got sick for BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas!! I’m coughing and sneezing as I’m writing this, but doing much better! So how does one pass the time when they have to stay home and away from loved ones so they don't get sick? (BTW, it’s a cold, not COVID!) … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Crushing the New Year!

Goodbye 2022!

2022 was not what I expected. Oh, the year’s never do go according to plan. But this one for me had more drama than 2020! The year began with me working part-time at my church while attending school to pursue a career as a health coach. It was a pivot I made after a year … Continue reading Goodbye 2022!

Self-Care Sunday: Joy to the World

For this Self-Care Sunday on Christmas Day, I thought it would be a good time to talk about joy. After all, churches and radio stations all over the world will be playing the famous Christmas carol, ‘Joy to the World’. But what is joy? And what is it not? I’ve heard many preachers say that … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Joy to the World

Telling Mom to Move Out of Her Home

How do I tell my mother she can’t live in her home anymore? A home she’s lived in for over 20 years. A home she imagined living in until the day she passed. It was a very difficult discussion. But after she fell 3 times in 6 months, with two of those times requiring an … Continue reading Telling Mom to Move Out of Her Home

Self-Care Sunday: Find Peace

This Self-Care Sunday is a reminder to slow down during this busy time, and find a moment of peace. It's good for the mind and good for the sole.

Self-Care Sunday: Cookie Therapy

During the 2020 lockdown, many people (including me) turned to baking banana bread, and other feel good carbs, to cope with being stuck in our homes. Without a job, I’m basically in a similar situation. Home all day, and struggling to find ways to fill my time. And now, this even carries over into the … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Cookie Therapy

Self-Care Sunday: Finding Joy

This Self-Care Sunday message was inspired by this story from the Associated Press website. Days before Hurricane Ian hit, a woman in Florida had lost her wedding ring. After the hurricane passed through her neighborhood, she was certain it was gone for good. Fortunately, their home wasn't too badly damaged from the hurricane, so her … Continue reading Self-Care Sunday: Finding Joy
