When we think about food we think of grocery stores, restaurants or fast food. The food that we consume causes so many different emotions to stir up inside of us. Food can make you happy, sad, depressed, uncomfortable, and even angry….(with a little heartburnJ). Being that we are always contemplating what to put into our bodies, how much thought do we invest into how we feed our mind and soul? To feed your mind and soul means seeking knowledge and understanding to grow spirit

Refinement is defined as the improvement or clarification of something by the making of small changes; the act of making something pure. As we enjoy the beautiful weather and watch the kids play, we are aware that soon the season will start to slowly transition from summer to fall. We will start to notice small changes in the air and nature all around us. Take this time in the heat of summer to start refining yourself. What bad habits are you hiding? What impurities do you ne

With the 4th of July on the horizon, many of us are making plans to be with our families or taking a short vacation in the sun. If you really sit down and think about it, independence has such a deeper meaning than the historical one that we have been taught. We are living in a country that has so many different cultures, religions, and expectations, how do you find your true self among all the learned behaviors we have adopted?

Some of us have good genes, a high metabolism, and a little bit of luck; for the rest of us, it can be a struggle to nourish our bodies with the proper nutrients to survive and live a long, healthy, and happy life. While we are focusing on our body, are we giving that same time and attention to our mind and soul? Yes, the mind and the soul are definitely interconnected but both words have slightly di

We are now in the second month of 2015 and it seems that the New Year is speeding by. There have been many New Year’s resolutions that have already been broken. Gym membership sales increased drastically. People started eating a little healthier. Some even tried to quit drinking or smoking. The sad part about attempting to change for the New Year is that by this time in February, people have forgotten all about their promises and have reverted back to their old ways. This c

But so often we adhere to that little voice that tells us “ No, stop” you’re not good enough” “no one is going to listen to you” “buy from you, why would they?” “Who wants to hear what you have to say” and so forth and what happens? We become exhausted and lack luster in a world that doesn’t support our hopes, dreams and desires. W

Learning To Be Thankful All Year Through It is easy to be thankful when things are going as planned. We may say our prayers every day and night. We are gracious to our family and friends; we greet the mailman as he drops off our bills and holiday cards. But no one likes to speak about the other times, those darker times, when we are not so enthused with the thought of saying thank you. At those times, who should we run to? The scripture tells us in Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be st

Meditating is an ultimate stress reliever and it is extremely therapeutic for the mind, body and soul. It is the process of training your mind to clear itself, completely, of all thoughts. In an article that I read, it stated: ” It’s extremely difficult for a beginner to sit for hours and think of nothing or have an “empty mind.” But in general, the easiest way to begin meditating is by focusing on the breath — an example of one of the most common approaches to meditation:

Sometimes it feels like a never-ending transition from one struggle to another. Other times, there aren’t any arising problems or drama; it’s just moving from one season, degree plan, job, or city to another. I know from experience the feeling a dichotomy like living in more than once place or maintaining friendships in multiple social circles can bring. The phrase, “being spread too thin” feels too real when planting roots in a new season while still holding on to old ties.

From the outdoors to the comfort of your living room and a cup of tea, actively seeking out and placing yourself in inspiring environments will stoke your inner fire and protect your joy. Which of these ways of creating a sacred space appeal to you? - Have a mug or mason jar to put your to-go coffee/tea/water in. There is a sense of grounding in its permanence that those disposable paper and plastic cups just can’t match. - When you finally get a chance to eat, clear the c
