It’s not what you’re eating, it’s what’s eating you

Thanks

Happiness is found in so many spaces and places unique to each of us

One of my happy places is to be back in the classroom teaching the love of learning. To show how exciting and interesting the world around them is, they can self initiate and propel their own future to go as far as each of them wants to take it

Children are amazing. We have so much to learn from how they see the world

They want to learn more! Curiosity is an intrinsic part of who they are. They ask big questions and don’t like to take no for an answer (even though it’s not convenient to us adults)

They want to get along and connect with others. Communication and having fun is the most important thing to them. They want to share and help each other.

They are so loving. Give them positive reinforcement when it’s due, they will bloom

Teaching is exhausting. Especially as I’m now much older than when I was working in education. But it never did stop being completely intrinsically rewarding.

Teaching is good for my health

And I love spending time back in the classroom

Make sure you thank a teacher. They are so underpaid for all the work they do

The midwest had a snowstorm with ice, sleet, and snow the other day

So first day back to school is now pushed out by three days

The dogs loved it

Being from the east coast originally where we would have snow for months on end, to the Midwest where the snow would be gone by afternoon, it’s bringing me back

Pulled out the dog blankets for this one

How’s the weather where you are?

That’s right … I am officially in the COOLEST club possible thanks to my 7 year old

Although I may be drinking coffee out of it right now, it’s actually filled with something MUCH more powerful; the love of a child

So you can imagine it’s suddenly become my favorite present of all

If you received a cool gift lately, what was your favorite?

Went to a 3h heart to heart brunch with a long time friend of mine today

She gifted me this heart (there are stories behind that heart gift) 💝

A long time ago, we had a falling out. I always felt so bad about the event, as she and I were good friends and I felt as though it was my fault we fell out

But the truth is, we saw it in two lights. I saw it as a very unfortunate end, and she saw as a bump in the road

Years later, we reconnected and we talked it out. I learned how her interpretation was much different than mine. She allowed my guilt to dissipate and be replaced by an even stronger foundation than we had before. Because we talked about it

Not everyone will see things the same way. Your version of an event may be radically different from each other. But the difference for us was the open communication because we stayed on the same level. No one was shamed. We both listened to understand each other and were both apologetic. Of course, this is how I see it … again

I am so grateful to have her in my life. And we will always be friends. We don’t see life exactly the same, but we are going through the same thing often at the same time. So we both vent AND listen equally, to understand. It’s a two way friendship

That reconnection happened years ago. So spending 3h with her today is always a great in depth re-reconnection each time

I appreciate you, Krista

And the brunch was amazing! Highly recommend the avocado toast with honey 🥑 🍞 🍯

Health and wellbeing starts by feeding your body and your mind with healthy nutrients

Of course, there is more to their testimonials, but these were scale and non-scale victories in their eyes

Everyone’s goal is unique. But when you start eating this nutritionally dense, don’t be surprised when more than one goal should appear!

If you’re thinking about starting a new health regime, and you want a protocol that is not only proven to work, but proven to be sustainable, let’s chat

Weight loss is a side benefit. When you feed your body this well, it thanks you in so many ways

Holidays are a very magical time of year

Holidays are also a very stressful time of year

Recently I heard that read that 95% of holiday magic comes from Mom

Remember that YOU are the magic in their eyes, not the things

Take a deep breath and enjoy the season as an active participant, not the event planner

If milk gets bad, it becomes yogurt

Yogurt is more valuable than milk

If it gets even worse, it turns to cheese

Cheese is more valuable than both yogurt and milk

And if grape juice turns sour, it transforms into wine, which is even more expensive than grape juice

You are not bad because you made mistakes

Mistakes are the experiences that make you more valuable as a person

Christopher Columbus made a navigational error that made him discover America

Alexander Fleming’s mistake led him to invent Penicillin

Don’t let your mistakes get you down

It is not practice that makes perfect

It is mistakes we learn from that makes perfect!

Don’t be scared of mistakes, bigger steps ahead, just keep going

Health is physical and cerebral. Went on a walk with a friend and our dogs to

The walk around the art pieces are more than just beautiful, they are interactive

I didn’t get to take a photo of all of them

Which is your favorite piece? Comment below
