There’s nothing like something extra in the day to make it feel special. Sometimes, very little extra effort (save that energy for healing!) can yield a very big reward. This week, why don’t you… …try a guided meditation I appreciate this moment from Dawson Church because it focuses on your body, and love. Have you […]
Why Don’t You…?
Finish What You Start
You know that anxious feeling you get when you have a bunch of unfinished obligations? When you make promises to yourself (or others) that you haven’t delivered on. To me, it feels like holding onto a huge bouquet of helium balloons in a windstorm, balloons I intended to deliver to a friend. Each of those […]
Celebrate the Risen Christ
Today is the day we celebrate the risen Christ—behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. I am reminded that my ability to heal comes from the power of God: the ability to bring things from death into life. From sickness to health. From sorrow to joy. From darkness into […]
Try NUXE Multi-Purpose Body Oil (even if you have sensitive skin)
Officially, the notes are orange flower, magnolia, and vanilla—unofficially, it smells like my future.
Turn ‘Social Distancing’ into ‘Time for Healing’

Delicious Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake
If we’re talking SONIC deliciousness, which we absolutely are. This month I have been loving the Korean R&B/Pop girlgroup Red Velvet, especially their song Ice Cream Cake. (And video! You can’t forget the videos!) With it, the (inevitable) K-Pop obsession has descended on me. Hard. I haven’t stopped listening for three weeks now. Typically I listen to music via […]
Get Monster Motivated
Sometimes, you need a swift kick in the pants. More often, you need that gentle encouragement of “you can do it” whispered in your ear. Especially when you’re making a big change to your diet or lifestyle. Maybe you are trying to form some new habits, including but not limited to: Diving into the Intro phase of […]
A RIDICULOUSLY clean mouth from Uncle Harry’s Toothpaste
I used to be constantly worried about my mouth. Probably 5% of my daily focus was spent worrying. My gums were puffy. Sometimes they hurt. They would bleed when I tried to floss. It was like my mouth was always angry. Red, patchy, puffy, spittin’ MAD. No amount of brushing (with Crest), flossing, or mouthwash seemed to help. […]
