- About Me: (at least a couple of sentences; ex: family, interests, hobbies, favorite quote, personal mission statement, etc
- A fibromyalgia suffer, and tired of being tired, and not willing to do new drugs, decided to try a nutritional path. Discovered raw food and green smoothies to be amazing.
November 27, 2010: It has now been four months of green smoothies and whole plant based foods, and while I am probably only 70% raw, the transformation is amazing. I have not felt this great in years! My energy level is very high, my fibromyalgia pain is quite low, my cholesterol dropped from 293 to 180, no more drugs of any kind, and as a side benefit I lost 22 pounds (18% of my original weight!). I am enjoying the compliments of how great I look, and shopping for new clothes! I've been asked how long I will do this diet, and I tell them, "This isn't a diet, it is a lifestyle, and it is forever. Why would I ever want to go back to the way it was?"

"Ice cream made from summer squash is pure genius. It's kind of funny when you think about all the people who eat conventional diets, trying to give away all the monster squashes from their gardens. If only they knew what they were missing :)"

I went to a great class at our Whole Foods Market last Friday. My friend Kat Conrad does the class and she is always incredibly clever. She puts combinations of food together that you would never guess would work. This was one of them! Desserts are one of her specialties. I am not sure if she has her ice cream recipes posted yet or not on her website, but just click on her name to check.The vanilla ice cream is made using a yellow zucchini…See More

When we hear the term nine months we automatically think of it as the time it takes to have a baby; giving birth to a new life. It was nine months ago today, July 19th, 2010, that I changed my life. There were oh so many reasons to do so, and as a result, I do have new life. To some, what I have done seems pretty radical, drastic, and maybe even…

I had the most incredible time at 105 degrees in Oklahoma City. Philip McClusky is a phenomenal man who shared his story with us with open, honest sincerity. So inspiring. A believer in vision and affirmation. He knows how to make things happen in his life. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to hear his story and meet him.
Plus, he is gorgeous!
Don't we look great…

The only things you can control are:
how you think and speak,what you do: what you eat, what you drink, when you move your body, when you sleep, how you will respond to any situation.
Master these simple things positively and you will be amazed at the changes that will come into your life! Let this be your year to SHINE!!
