I recently realized that one letter separates the word falling from failing…change the first “L” to an “I” and you go from falling to failing in an instant. FALLING FAILING But wait! A lot can happen between falling and failing. All too often we think if we’ve fallen down that means we’ve failed. We didn’t move […]
The good news is there are more healthy snack options in convenience stores, airports, train stations and big-box stores than ever before. When I’m on-the-go, however, I like to make sure I have my “go-to” options tucked safely in my handbag/tote bag/carry-on. I admit it – I’m picky. I want gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free snacks, but […]
What do you think of when you hear “salad”? If you’re like most people, you probably see a bowl of iceberg lettuce, some cucumbers and tomatoes and think that without tons of dressing it doesn’t have a lot of flavor. What if I could show you otherwise? Dill is a great way to amp up […]

My advice for the new year is to start living and ditch the diet mentality. It seems so easy to get caught up in the conversations about new year’s resolutions and weight loss. “Lose weight” was certainly a trending topic on yahoo on January 1. For years I promised myself I was going to lose […]
One of the most important healthy habits I discuss with my clients is meal planning – knowing what you are going to eat throughout the week so you don’t leave anything to chance. We all know what can happen during the week – last-minute meeting, traffic, deadline gets moved up – and self-care gets left […]
I posted this photo on facebook and twitter last week and I can’t get it out of my mind. I was walking in Lenox, MA in the Berkshires a couple of weeks ago and this bold flower caught my attention – literally sticking its neck out from the trees and other flowers. I was with […]
The Universe is so savvy. I’ve been talking about starting my #2TO50 journey today and just a couple of days ago I was at Golden Bridge Yoga and saw this quote on a postcard. It nearly brought me to my knees. It’s exactly what’s been on my mind – being true to myself and making […]
