Have you reached your breaking point?

It happens. You get to a point when you just can’t take it anymore! Or do you? Have you gone on autopilot, going through the motions of everyday living, putting up with aches and pains, minor discomfort, and stress and anxiety as things you have to deal with as a part of life? Tolerating distress […]

Declare it!

You say you want a revolution Well, you know…* …it is time to declare that you are worthy of good health, prosperity, success and love! Are you feeling stuck?

Gulp!

At the end of May, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a 16-ounce size limit on sweetened beverages sold in city restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums and food carts. “All across the country, everybody recognizes obesity as a growing, serious problem…I think it’s fair to say that while everyone else is sitting around complaining, New […]

Two, it means it is possible to solve the problem and better manage […]

The Comfort Connection

Montel Williams was quite candid on The Dr. Oz Show recently when speaking about his struggles with emotional eating. He has a lot going for him: Emmy Award-winning talk-show host, a decorated former naval intelligence officer, an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and philanthropist, yet something was tearing him apart. His depression has been talked about and […]

I learned from my mistake

I’m beating myself up. My ezine hasn’t been distributed in two weeks. I could have screamed “Iceberg right ahead,” because I saw the problems coming. And, instead of doing what I now know how to do, I did what I used to do. A little blame here, a little overcompensating there, and, before I knew […]

Eat One and Call Me in the Morning

Do you make a face when someone mentions artichokes, or do you begin to salivate at the thought of eating this antioxidant-rich vegetable? At only (approximately) 60 calories, artichokes are a low-calorie nutritional powerhouse. In addition, artichokes are a no-fat, no-cholesterol treat offering a myriad of vitamins and minerals including magnesium, chromium, phosphorous, calcium, vitamin […]
