What the Health?
For the last month, my church Canvas has had a teaching series called “What the Health?” First, can I just say I love that a church is playing off the phrase “What the Hell?” But most of all, I love that a church is helping people have healthy relationship with health. Today at Canvas I…

Beyond Beautiful
Have you ever found a TV show, restaurant, bargain or hair stylist you loved so much that you felt compelled to share your discovery with the world? Like you must shout it from the rooftops so everyone can know about the little gem you discovered? That’s how I felt after watching The Letdown, Catastrophe, Free…

Joyful Movement June
I’ve always loved to dance. My mom says that at age 3, I asked to take dance lessons. And at my first dance recital – performing at a nursing home – my skirt fell off in the middle of the performance, and I kept on dancing (the show must go on!). Dancing is something that…

Be Kind to One Another (That Includes Yourself)
A quote I love says: “Before you speak, let your words pass through three gates: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?“ Gosh, how different would our world be if we took our words through these gates before we spoke to others? And how different would our personal well-being be if we took…

Therapy is Cool
“Therapy is cool.” I saw this statement made into a graphic (see above) on @heytiffanyroe’s Instagram account, and I love it. Therapy IS cool. But it’s hard to know that if you’ve never been to therapy. Or you haven’t known someone else who’s been to therapy. If that’s the case, now you know someone who’s…

Play this playlist while you’re getting ready for the day, riding home from work, doing laundry, whenever! I love that…

That’s Horse Sh*t
I don’t have much time to read magazines but I can’t resist the “free” magazines that my airline miles can be applied to. Usually, the magazines end up in a pile with me saying I’ll look at them … but never do. But the other week, my DVR was empty and my Kindle was dead…

March Wellness Challenge: Follow People Who Make You Feel Good (And Unfollow Those Who Don’t)
March Wellness Challenge: Follow people on social media who make you feel good. And UNFOLLOW those who don’t. I live in the fitness world so, for me, it takes a lot of intention to identify the “fitfluencers” I want to follow. I try to ask myself a few questions. These questions are asked with a fitness…

Fears to Fortune. Guilt to Gratitude. A Holiday Experiment.
The holidays are awesome. There are parties and great food, Christmas cookies and treats around every corner, and plenty of occasions for wine, eggnog or whatever is your cocktail of choice. But the holidays are also hard. There are lots of parties and great food, Christmas cookies and treats around every corner, and plenty of…
