Angela asks: So this past summer I have let myself go. I have joint achiness, reflux and of course gained more than I want to admit. How do I get back on track? Great question Angela. During the summer it is not unusual to get into a relaxed schedule and frame of mind. The summer […]

This summer has been a bit late getting to us but finally it has arrived – sun, heat and humidity. I love it! We have spent every weekend away from home on our boat. This is a great get away for us. A place to relax, let down, and enjoy friends and family. For us, […]

I sit peacefully outside on my patio. What comes to me is how happy the summer makes me feel and the obvious joy I see in others during the summertime. I absolutely LOVE the warm sunshine, getting to spend extra time with my two sons, the luscious fresh fruits and vegetables, hiking in Glacier Park, […]
