The last full moon of the summer and it’s time for a new season! There is hope in thinking about what is next. We just want to move forward, see new, feel different. But transition isn’t about what’s around the corner, it’s about the reverence of the present and gratitude for the past. 💫 I raced to the ocean to celebrate and I LOVE how creation signals to us we are approaching something fresh. I dug my feet deep into the sand and waves and held the moment. I thought about the hard stuff from this past season and found gratitude for it and the lessons it taught me. I found joy then and there, under that moon, regardless of what is coming and detached from what has happened. 🌕 That is transition.. it’s a heart shift and a mindset, not a time frame. 💫 Let’s do away with the “Once.... happens, then I will be happy.” statements. Dig your feet in, feel the waves and cultivate your joy in the present. Everything else is already on the way😘

This was enough to stop me in my tracks during my run!! Check it out!! 😳 Some bird looked at ALL the safe trees in this neighborhood, chose to do the opposite of the ”norm” and built a nest on the top of a stop sign! The most uncertain and non-conventional place! 😂 Somehow I could immediately relate and I found myself celebrating it’s success. I’m sure all the other birds said it was impossible. I’m sure they meant well but it just didn’t make sense to them! 🧐 Whatever great thing you’re dreaming of or doing that challenges the norm, looks scary and feels a little off balanced... I’m celebrating with you in a feat that requires consistent boldness! Don’t listen to what the comfortable say! Never stop building nests on stop signs! 🎉 Shout out to the rebel bird in my hood... I ❤️ you!

Want healthier foods but need an affordable option? Let’s talk about this.. both the reality and a remedy that I 💖! Check out these amazing brands and incredible prices. (These pictures are just a sampling of all that’s there!) As two of my primary career industries, I understand BOTH sides very well. As a health coach, I hear the struggles of my clients to afford healthy options. As a product innovator / manufacturer, I know the cost of making quality products. Both sides are relevant and require a shift. This food waste contributes to expense to the consumer, profit loss to the manufacturer and harm to our environment. ALL issues I am passionately working on behind the scenes daily to create solutions for. In the meantime, there are things being done.. and this is one of them. Grocery Outlet and many amazing brands have teamed up and you and your family can benefit. Check out their website for the heart behind their work, how they do this and locations close to you. Who knew?!? 🤗😘
In this time of food revolutions I find myself coaching people more and more about not being overwhelmed by dietary information. Fear of food has become a real and serious condition. For every story about a healthy benefit of a food you can find an equally demonizing write up about the same food. Before Google, before grocery store marketing, who showed us what to eat? How did we know? I do not think this is a matter of ignorance is bliss. I think it is about reconnecting to our inner wisdom. Deep down you know what foods make you feel awesome and you know which make you feel less than your amazing self. If it’s processed food with unrecognizable or altered ingredients it is unlikely to be something your body is in need of, they don’t even speak the same languages!! Start by getting back to the simplicity of nature. The work is not in “what to eat” the work is in “why am I choosing that if it doesn’t serve me and my desires”. Keep your eyes on your own paper, don’t worry about what your neighbor is eating or what diet they are doing. Food is chemicals and every body is different thus producing different chemical reactions. Trust yourself to know and please be kind to yourself, food is medicine and life giving materials, not a source of fear or anxiety.😘
