Back to Blogging!

OK – it was a busy summer and blogging somehow completely fell off of my map.  It’s now Fall and time to reset and regroup.

Wasn’t sure what I wanted to write about – had a few ideas jumping around in my brain and wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to take.  Then, yesterday, I’m looking through some books I haven’t read in a long time, pull out “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem” by Wayne Dyer, and open it at random to the following passage:

“How do you treat this body? What foods do you use to replenish and replace it with? Do you drink pure, uncontaminated water on a regular basis throughout the day? What toxins do you absorb? How much peaceful rest do you provide for it? Do you keep it balanced with nutritional supplements? Do you exercise it regularly? Is your breathing harmonious and unstrained? Is your emotional state calm? Do you meditate to bring yourself into harmony with God? In short, are you a great friend to your body?

Your body must be loved; it is your home and must be cleansed of all junk. Your body is in your service continually. Even while you sleep it works for you, digesting, removing dead cells, bringing fresh oxygen, converting nutrients into blood.  All for your survival.”

Who knew that flipping through a Wayne Dyer book would provide some great material for a nutrition blog??  So my fellow adventurers, are you treating your body with the respect, kindness and love it deserves? I’m consciously working to treat mine better.

Now for some personal, non-nutrition related news – in the previous post (way back in June, sheesh) we celebrated my son’s graduation from CSUF in May (YAY!).  In June, we celebrated my daughter’s graduation from high school (another YAY!)



Here are my graduates in their stunning attire:




Have a fantastic day, and be good to yourself – you deserve it!!
