I’m turning 60 this year, and it made me reflect on aging, resilience, and living with MS for more than 20 years.

I just published the first post on my new blog https://betweentheears.net/blog/

It’s about what I’ve learned about strength, mindset, and living well with chronic illness.

Come join me 10am Saturday January 3rd at the Brickyard Cove Berkeley where I will lead Gratitude in Motion 2026. The first nature walk of the year. Lets acknowledge 2025's lessons and growth. We'll release what no longer serves us with intention, and step into 2026 with open-hearted hope, focusing on inner shifts, blessings, and fresh possibilities for a more meaningful year ahead. This is a walk not a hike. All levels are welcome.

Join us for a peaceful stroll through nature, connecting with gratitude and tranquility at the Gratitude Nature Walk 2026.

✨ What’s Your SMART Vision for Your Health and Well-Being? ✨

Too often, we set health goals that are vague: “I want to eat better.” “I should exercise more.” But clarity is power. That’s why I guide my clients to create SMART goals:

🔹 Specific – What exactly will you do?

🔹 Measurable – How will you know you’ve succeeded?

🔹 Achievable – Is it realistic right now?

🔹 Relevant – Does it align with your values and vision?

🔹 Time-bound – By when will you complete it?

SMART goals transform intentions into actionable roadmaps—and when combined with a personal vision for health and well-being, they become a powerful driver of lasting change.

I’ll be diving into this topic in an interactive community conversation:

📅 Wednesday, October 15th at 6:30 PM

📍 Heart and Soul Center of Light (on Zoom)

Together, we’ll reflect on our desired outcomes, why they matter, and how to take steps toward a healthier, more vibrant future.

Stop Labeling Foods as “Good” or “Bad”

Have you ever said, “I was good today” or “I was bad because I ate that”? Many of us grew up with the idea that certain foods are virtuous while others are sinful. The truth is, food has no moral value.

When we label food as good or bad:

✔ We create guilt and shame around eating.

✔ We fall into all-or-nothing thinking (“I blew it, so why bother?”).

✔ We feel anxious at mealtimes instead of enjoying them.

Here’s the good news:

When you see all food as valuable, you can:

✅ Improve your relationship with eating.

✅ Reduce stress and ditch the guilt.

✅ Make room for balance and variety.

3 Ways to Change Your Mindset:

1️⃣ Use neutral language (drop “cheat meal” and just say “meal”).

2️⃣ Pay attention to how food makes you feel—not just the calories.

3️⃣ Focus on adding more nutritious foods instead of strict restriction.

Your health is about the big picture, not one single food choice.

Not all “healthy” foods are blood sugar friendly.

A client of mine—who’s tracking her blood glucose with a BGM—recently shared something insightful. She snacked on some whole grain Triscuit crackers, thinking they’d be a stable, low-impact choice.

To her surprise? Blood sugar spike.

This is a powerful reminder that:

Whole grain doesn’t always mean low glycemic

Individual responses to food can vary significantly.

Monitoring and curiosity lead to better choices.

As a health coach, I encourage clients to experiment, observe, and ask questions—not follow one-size-fits-all rules.
