“When a friend’s at hand you will see the light … when your friends are there then everything’s all right …” -Elton John, “Friends”

I love my friends and totally “get” how important friendship is to my health, wealth and well-being. I have a couple “best” friends then about a dozen “close” friends. Until recently I did not count myself on either list — but, thank goodness, that has changed.

The old me used to make sure my husband, mother and friends were eating well, taking their supplements and getting their exercise while I missed another meal, another day of Complex B and was too busy for even a twenty minute walk … My journey recovering from fatigue changed all that. I had to change – I had to be as good to me as I was to everyone – anyone else.

Can you relate? Most tired women can … (how do you think we get that way?!)

Good news. It isn’t hard to learn how to befriend your body, mind and spirit. That is exactly what I show you how to do in the Fatigue Be Gone! Jumpstart e-Guide. Click here to learn more and to start getting your groove back – TODAY.

It’s Monday. I’m hungry AND full of energy.

Long ago I had a fabulous mentor. Susan Smith Jones was the head of women’s athletics at UCLA and well on her way towards becoming a successful author, speaker and leader in the health and nutrition world.

I thought of her yesterday. I remembered how she led me through several cleansing fasts. (She would fast with the seasons.) She’d tell me that digestion takes a lot of energy from the body, digesting meat, dairy and fatty snacks. Last week I sorta fasted. It was a “flu fast,” lasted a couple days and was thoroughly cleansing. I’ll leave off the specifics.

Somehow thinking about Susan, the flu and how I want to lighten up without spending a fortune on special cleansing kits inspired me to go on a vegi and fruit cleanse today. This is the closest I can get to not eating. I am still hungry, starving, famished and fantasizing about things like pop tarts and Pizza Hut.

I will not give in. Surely I can do this for a day. Besides, urges last about 2 1/2 minutes. (Nicotine, Alcohol, Pizza Hut …) I will just get through one urge at a time. It will soon be dawn.

See the photo? This is what I am consuming today. Apple, carrots, celery, small cup of coffee (don’t need a headache), dried fruit, lots of water and some lemon in my water. I’ve also had a cup of green tea with honey.

PSST. Just for fun … there is also something in this picture that does not belong … The first person to notice it and post a comment will get a little something fun – go for it!

If only watching T.V. would …

If only watching T.V. would make us healthier and wealthier and re-energized and … can you imagine how great our lives would be since most of us watch so darn much of it?! (The average American watches some 4+ hours a day.)

I am on a T.V. fast. I’ve been threatening my husband with it for months, but not until today have I really embraced my good/great intention.

So, just for today I haven’t heard about a half dozen horrible gender and sexual conditions with symptoms that seem awfully familiar. Just for today I haven’t been reminded about how close I am to having IRS problems that require a retired IRS agent, and all his contacts, to resolve. Just for today I haven’t given up two to three hours of my life and received nothing but eye-strain, back pain and dirty looks from my dog who wants to go out for a walk.

Just for today I don’t feel guilty about wasting my time. (I wish I could do clever things while watching T.V. but I can’t. I can just watch and eat – preferably rocky road ice cream.) Just for today I am not tired of sitting on my bum and of not following my own sage advice to TURN it off and turn LIFE ON.

Whew. Do you want to join me?

I don’t know how long I can last but it would be fun to have some company on this journey (besides my husband who will become my unwitting accomplice when I cancel the cable service this week. Shhhhhhh. Don’t rat me out. Maybe he won’t notice?)

Easy Tips to Feng Shui Your Kitchen

I just came across this jewel of an article. bottom-line, easy, “how to” advice on setting up a kitchen that supports your health and re-energizes all of you – mind, body, spirit.

When we moved into our new home I hired a Feng Shui expert to come in and spend a couple hours with us. We spent a lot of time in the bedroom … moved our bed away from the wall adjoining the staircase (noise, traffic, restlessness) and out of alignment with the toilet! (congestion in the lungs). I can tell you that made a HUGE difference in our comfort and enjoyment …

We didn’t spend much time with our expert in the kitchen – ran out of time & budget! But that’s o.k. because this really covers it all.

Note: Getting rid of fatigue does require attention to our nutition and our enviornment both of which can collide or joyfully combine in our kitchen …

Feng Shui Your Kitchen

The kitchen has always been the center of the home – throughout the history and in every culture. The old saying ‘home is where the heart is’, as the kitchen was the main source of fire for warmth and cooking, and indeed this was the heart of the home. Fireplaces in other rooms were a luxury, but in the kitchen, where family life, socializing, cooking and eating merged into one, they were a necessity. Click here for more –

Relax and Re-Energize with a little purring and petting

Two weeks ago I brought home a big (15 lb!) bundle of taffy colored fur called “Kitty.” I’ve never had a cat before and Kitty is a fascinating and delightful addition to our family. (Velvet the dog, Peetie the worried cockatiel, Micheal and Moi.)

Last weekend a snippet of an article caught my attention and tonight I snuggled in to do some research on the topic of pets and how they make us healthy. A few highlights include:

* Petting cats or dogs increases feel good hormones, lowers blood pressure and slows the heart rate. In other words, petting is healthy for your heart!

* Want an easy, healthy stress buster? A study shows that watching fish swim can drop your blood pressure about 15 points …

* Want an easy does it way to relax and re-energize? “Walking is the biggest bang for our buck. Thirty minutes a day of walking will prevent many cases of diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases.” -Surgeon General

Psst. Dog owners walk 79 percent farther in an average week than non–dog owners.
