This is the year that I chose and have truly become “I” .. Maybe known as “self” to others. But “I” is my true self. I choose her everyday now, ✨and it’s a deeper happiness, and freedom than I have ever known. She is much stronger, grounded, balanced, loving and insightful than “Me” could ever be. “ME” is who I created from my life experiences. I’m grateful for, “ME” cause she got me through a lot of sh*t, but “I” runs the show now. Okay, I will share more later.. 😉 BUT I want you to know that when you choose your truest self, you are also choosing the people you love the most.. your kids, your partner, your career, because you will show up the most empowered version of yourself each day. It all starts with connecting to your body and your health inside and out. Let’s connect. SEE STORIES for how we can work together to start the process .. it’s only up from here ladies!! 😘😘 📸 -

I had the privilege of visiting Nosara, Costa Rica in January, which is currently considered a Blue Zone.

What is a Blue Zone? Blue zones are regions in the world where people are speculated to live longer than average, identified by Gianni Pes, Michel Poulain and Dan Buettner. Five blue zones have been posited: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Icaria, Greece; and Loma Linda, California, United States.

Now I’m learning more about what makes a Blue Zone and it’s so interesting!! Here’s a reference to diet.
