Accept it. Imagine your body is a temple and imagine the foods that

I wanted to share my friends' interview on CBS news about his tanning
bed and melanoma experience. David was diagnosed with melanoma when he
was 27 years old after spending 4-5 days/week in the tanning beds in
his early 20's. David was lucky that his physician caught the melanoma
in the beginning stage. But David is not safe. He was diagnosed with
melanoma again on his calf and recently had basal cell carcinoma on
his forehead. And the sad reality of it is David does not use tanning

Goals 2010 found in Etsy via abcande I'd like to share my goals on my blog rather than keeping it private
in my journal. I wrote these goals down in December 2009 and realized
there is power in sharing it with everyone. Writing down goals, plans,
and intentions on paper or computer help to manifest them faster. Plus,
it will help to remind me of my goals and to move in the right
direction. Every three months I will re-evaluate my goals so they are
aligned with my values. To distingu... Continue reading ...

 As you can see from my image above, I am attending Wordcamp Boston 2010
this weekend. I am very excited to attend Wordcamp Boston since I was
not able to attend Wordcamp NYC 2009 but volunteered at the event. I
have always had a passion for learning new things and one of my 2010
goals is to learn Wordpress to understand the technology behind blog
platforms. Wordcamp Boston is this coming weekend so I will write
another blog posting after the event.

Fruit juice makes a healthy and tasty start to the day, but if you have
a juicer or blender, you might like to blend fruit and vegetables

starter vegetable to experiment in a blender. Continue reading ...

to college, passed my nursing boards, worked in the clinical setting
for several years, got my Master's degree and then joined the rat race
of corporate America. That's what happened.
I realized last year tha... Continue reading ...

This You Tube video from Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project is a great motivator to exercise. Even if you do not believe in resolutions, make HEALTH
a priority because you only have one and if your health deteriorates,
well, it goes downhill from there and consequences occur. Love your
body, maintain your health!
Some points Gretchen talks about in the video:
- January's word of the month is "Energy"
- Week 1 - Get more sleep
- Week 2 - Get more exercise

Now, I am not a pessimist and I am not wanting to start your New
Year's off to a bad start. This is just my opinion of why New Year's
resolutions do not work. Only 6% actually keep their resolutions.
People tend to forget by February what their resolutions are. Why?
New Year's resolutions do not work because:
- Resolutions are too broad
- No time line
- Not written down
- No one holding you accountable
- Resolutions are not in line w...
