For the Love of Productivity We all crave productivity. We want it now and we want it all the time and we certainly want it for the long-term. We can’t imagine being without it, especially when we are after something – a college degree, a certification program, a paper, a book, a speech, a website, [...]
Invigoration, Health and Awesome Care for Your Body
I am mad about taking great care of my body, my temple and I feel compelled to share that with you. The posts here are about improving and enhancing your beautiful body.
I share my journey through ups and downs of my vegan diet, raw foods, green juicing and green smoothies, healthy cuisines, yoga and meditation, and a lot of invigorating exercises. These posts tell you about my personal experience and then I show you how to reach your state of bliss and longevity through smart habits for your body.
After 8 months of a strictly vegan diet, one day, I decided it was no longer for me. Here’s the story behind that decision. When I was growing up, I could put eating in two category: you either ate regular foods or you ate diet meals. When we moved to the US, I discovered the [...]
I am now convinced that my explorations into healthy, easy, and appetizing foods is a never-ending journey. Lucky that I also live with a budding chef! During my raw-vegan challenge, which coincided with my hubby’s particularly creative phase around “sweets”, something wonderful happened in the kitchen, and too wonderful not to share. He called it [...]
It is time to tell the tale of the Raw Vegan Challenge Month that was not to be in its entirety! So what happened, what did I learn, and how I plan to continue to take my eating habits to the next level of exploration and refinement.
The 10 Minute Daily Invigorator is LIVE now! Our bodies were meant to be strong, healthy, happy. Our bodies were meant to move, to dance and to breathe life in. Our bodies were meant to be an expression of life force and vitality. Does your body move and breathe just as you want? Does energy [...]
It’s not what you give up; it’s what you gain that counts! Just for good measure, I will say it again: It is not about what you give up. It is all about what you gain. That is how I have been able to take some of the bravest and greatest steps in my life [...]
It is simple enough to commit to an eating style or diet in its truest meaning but not so easy when it comes to finding and preparing the right foods. It is one thing to say you will be a vegan and another knowing how to create enough variety from easy vegan recipes so you [...]
My, what a big bold claim! Easy and radical in one little phrase? There should be nothing easy about radical. A radical change should require extremely hard work and sweat and only those prepared for such a grueling path should even consider it. And going vegan is not only radical, it is anything but easy [...]
You might have noticed that I love yoga. In fact, it is one of the few passions which I aspire to infuse into everyone because I truly believe that every human body can benefit enormously from yoga. You can certainly do additional great work on that body but infuse it with yoga. Yoga and yoga [...]
Health is on my mind lately. Lately has been going on strong for about 3 years now. In August, I finished yet another challenge: The Wellness Challenge from the beloved Sync Studio for exercising (at least an hour for me!) every single day. Twenty seven fantastic spinning classes and a dozen yoga sessions later, I [...]
How many people do you need to impact by your actions for your efforts to be worthwhile? A hundred? Twenty? A dozen? Maybe one? For me, the answer is simple. If I bring about change and inspiration to at least one person’s life as direct result of how I live mine, that is enough to [...]
“Why on earth are you going vegan again?” my husband cried as though he has just heard another of my craziest new ideas yet. “Because I want to!” is usually my first stern reaction. It shows that I am the boss of me while at the same time affording me time to collect my thoughts [...]
On Tuesday morning, the last day of June 2010, I met a new woman at the 5:45am cycling class: myself! A new woman with the stamina, perseverance, strength and power that I would not have otherwise believed existed in me were it not for the image in the mirror staring back at me. This was [...]
Am I ever tired of having these conversations with myself: “You cannot do yoga every day”, “You can never get into that twisted pretzel pose, you might hurt yourself”, “You should not try to push your luck. You had some breakthroughs but really, that’s enough for now.” I am determined to vanish these thoughts for [...]
My first encounter with Trader Joe’s was through a beautiful care package sent years ago from Northern California by a dear friend. I do not remember any of the goodies she sent me except one: The Comodyne Oat Towels, the best make-up remover on planet earth! Soon after, I started my frequent business trips to [...]
