Wow! I did not know this! So…no vaccine needed?? Healthy movement and lifestyle for the win…good food for thought!

It’s a common misconception that you catch the flu like you would catch a cold from someone else. The truth is that the body creates the conditions for illness through its internal processes. When our blood becomes congested with mucus, and our lymphatic system slows down, the body releases these toxins through symptoms like a runny nose, cough, and fever. These are actually signs that the body is working to cleanse itself.

Instead of fearing the flu, we should understand that it’s the body’s way of ridding itself of waste. Our immune system is constantly trying to maintain balance, and the flu is simply one way the body resets. By supporting the body’s natural processes, such as staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and eating nourishing foods, we can help it work more efficiently.

In essence, the flu is not something to "catch," but rather a cleansing process that occurs when the body is in need of renewal. By nurturing our bodies with the right practices, we give it the tools it needs to heal on its own. 🌸💪

The more you know!

Keep moving, even in winter!

When you stop moving, the body doesn’t freeze in time
it slowly gives up capacity. Muscles shrink, tendons stiffen, joints lose range, balance fades. It doesn’t happen overnight, it happens quietly… in the space between “I’ll rest today” and “I can’t do that anymore.”

Most people call that aging.
But a lot of it is just inactivity.

Movement does the opposite. It teaches the body how to handle force, how to absorb impact, how to stay stable, how to get up from the floor, how to lift, carry, twist, jump, and land. It strengthens bone. It trains connective tissue. It rewires balance. It builds resilience.

Not just physical resilience but also mental resilience.
Choose the thing that builds you not the thing that shrinks you.

I hope you are enjoying some rest time too!

Twixmas is the space between. Pyjamas on. Expectations off. If you’re here, you’re allowed to rest. To pause. To let the simple things refill you.

Use these in-between days to reflect, reset, plan, and dream…

With love

I’ll take it!

❄️ WINTER SOLSTICE IS TOMORROW — Sunday, December 21, 2025

The Winter Solstice occurs Sunday morning, at 10:03 AM ET (9:03 AM CT | 8:03 AM MT | 7:03 AM PT).

This will be the day we get the least amount of daylight all year and the longest night. The Sun takes its lowest path across the sky — and then after this, our daylight slowly starts coming back starting Monday!

So yes… winter is just getting started,
but the days officially stop getting shorter. 🌤️

Let’s use this as new goal for ourselves! Keep moving!

Age may try to whisper, “Slow down. Sit. Rest.”
But your body remembers a different truth:
You were built to move.
You were forged for strength.
You were meant to rise.

You are a warrior of your own body.
Your joints may creak, your muscles may ache,
but the fire inside you do not fade it sharpens.
Movement is your armor. Strength is your sword.
Every motion writes a story of resilience, power, and vitality.

Retirement from movement is a lie.
The day you stop moving is the day you start losing
more than muscle you start losing freedom, independence and the joy of being alive.

Walk.
Lift.
Stretch.
Dance.
Play.
Move to honor your body, to awaken your spirit,
to celebrate the strength that only years of experience can give.

Share this with someone who thinks age is a limit.
Remind them that the fire never dies and movement is the spark.
