How Much Are You Worth?

Most of us put a price tag on how much we're worth.
It could be a monetary price tag such as -

I'm worth $10.00 an hour because that's what I get paid at my job.
My house is expensive therefore I have worth.
My income can't even pay the bills, therefore I'm of little worth.

It could also be a value price tag such as -

Health Benifits of Owning a Pet

The inspiration for this post came unexpectedly.

Several years ago, we had to give up our favorite cat because we were moving and couldn't bring her with us. Tilly had been a part of our family for over 14 years. It was a difficult decision. She had brought a calming affect to our home of 11 rambunctious kids. She was quiet, unobtrusive. - just always there.


Happily we found a family that loved her and took care of her. Ever so often I'd call them to see how our little friend was doing. Tilly had settled into her new home just fine.

Yesterday I got a call from Tilly's new family saying they were moving out of state and couldn't take Tilly with them - did we want her back?

Honey Facial

Did you know that your kitchen pantry holds all sorts of natural beauty products? These are what I call - My Kitchen Vanities. One of my favorites is HONEY.

Using honey as a facial cleanser and moisturizer sounds like 'sticky' business. In reality its easy to use, inexpensive, and and your face will love it.

Several months ago I quit using over-the-counter facial cleanser and moisturizers for one simple reason - the ingredients. I figure if I can't pronounce it, I'm not going to put it on my face.

Honey is one of my favorite sweeteners and now it's my favorite facial product. Any honey works, but I prefer to use raw honey as it hasn't been processed or pasteurized and still has ALL it's naturally occurring enzymes, vitamins, and minerals just as the bees/nature made it.

Chewing Your Food Aids In Digestion

How often do we sit down to a delicious meal only to get up 10 minutes later and realize we didn't even taste the food?  Not only that, but we were hungry again in just a few short hours.

One of the first 'quick fixes' for poor nutrition and poor digestion is chewing your food. Chewing each bite 30-100 times is best. Wow! Who chews their food 100 times? I must confess that I don't. Usually 30-50 chews per-bite is enough for me. There are those who do chew 100 times though...something to think about!

My Journey To Becoming A Health Coach

Inspiring myself and others to live healthy, happy lives!

Although I enrolled at Institute For Integrative Nutrition (see widgets on my sidebar and header) just a couple of months or so ago, my own health journey began about 28 years ago when my 4th child was born. He was breech and I had toxemia. After his breech delivery, I still had the effects of toxemia a year later. Thus began my search for better health. I tend to be allergic to modern medicine, so my only alternative was to look into alternative healing (pun intended!).
