THIS is 50! - GIVING THANKS
There is always so much to be grateful for and this time of year seems to bring that out in everyone. I subscribe to a number of different pages on Facebook that have positive quotes, many of which boil down to the more grateful you are for what you have, the more things will come into your life. Notice I didn’t say more “positive” things will come into your life. There will definitely be positives however, I think it’s important to realize that we need to be grateful for


THIS is 50! - STEP UP OR STEP ASIDE
Wow! What a week its been?!?! So much tension and fiery passion surrounding the election, Standing Rock, and that’s just stateside. Lots of things going on globally that no one is even taking notice about. Many people voicing their opinions and disappointments which is just breeding more fear and hate. One of my most memorable bosses, Debanne, always comes to mind when there are people moaning and groaning about problems. Debanne was my manager while working for American

THIS is 50!
If someone would have said to me years ago that my life would really begin at 50, I would have told them to they were crazy. 50? Really? And why do I have to wait that long?!?!

Believe me, I asked myself the same question. My prior experience with Las Vegas was either just coming in for a convention or quick


Life’s Little Rewards - Good or Bad?
Last week, I started thinking about what’s different about where I’m at in my health journey now as compared to say, 3 or 4 years ago. One of the biggest changes has been removing the “reward” system for doing good. You know the one, where you’ve eaten healthy all week or exercised at least 30 minutes a day, or meditated at least 10 minutes a day and now that its the weekend, you feel like you deserve a reward for “being good.” So what do we do, maybe have that fancy Starb


Your Body is Talking, Are You Listening?
Our bodies are amazing and unique machines. If you think about the intricacies of how each cell, neuron, muscle, organ, vein, etc.. all work together to keep us up and running each day, you can’t help but be awestruck. One thing that is so often overlooked is the fact that our bodies were created to heal themselves. Those aches, pains, moods are like the little knock on the door or the voice saying, “Hello? Excuse me? Can I get your attention, please?” Let’s take a look at


It Takes a Village, Literally!
I know you’ve all heard the saying, “It takes a village,” especially in reference to raising a family. Have you thought about how it may “take a village” in raising or finding YOU? For years, whenever someone would ask if I needed help, my answer would be no. I wanted to prove that I was independent and could do things for myself. Plus, I had a vision of how things should be done or what the final outcome should look like and if it wasn’t going in that direction, then I wo
