Welcome

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to my blog. I am so excited to start sharing my personal experience and tips on finding balance in the various aspects of life....particularly in the body, but also in the mind and spirit, which go hand in hand. When I ran my first marathon I took my body to a new level of fitness, discipline, and reward. It was about that time that I also developed and interest in nutrition, and how our diet affects how we perform; not only in physical exercise, but also in our mind. I truly believe that finding balance comes from a daily effort to prioritize our physical, mental, and spiritual needs.

So, I want to offer my advice on achieving a balanced life. If we can achieve (or even strive for) this balance, we can live richer, fuller lives in the present. And the present moment, the Now, is all we have. So, I invite you to join me and hopefully find some encouragement in you own quest for balance.

I will mostly reference exercise and nutrition, but for now I will offer you a quote I heard in a yoga class today...

"When the spirit dances, the mind and body follow."

So true! It also reminds me of a scientific fact: your brain does not know the difference between a fake or real smile. Even if you don't feel like it, smile ;) because your mind will follow...Take a moment for yourself today and feed your spirit. What does it need from you? Patience? Love? Meditation? Prayer? Feed your spirit and watch the mind and body follow.
