As much as you might hate to hear it, you need to sleep. We all, as human beings need to sleep. Without it, we’ll literally perish.
Since I’ve heard many of my friends, family & clients mentioning their sleep woes lately, I thought I’d share some of my favorite “good sleep” tips here.
I’m sorry but it’s just the truth.
Life is filled with ups & downs, blessings and challenges and no one can have it ALL FIGURED OUT, all of the time.
It’s just plain impossible.
How could we grow & evolve in life, if the metaphorical waves didn’t capsize us once in awhile?
But “Where is this all coming from?” you may be thinking to yourself. Well I’ll tell you.
This past year & moving into 2018, has brought with it many personal challenges in my life. Some I’ve shared with you, and some I’ve not.
This new year has continued to push me & brought me to a place of yearning to be more and more real, authentic and unapologetic to where I am on my path.
3 Points On Why Herbs Don’t Work.
No, it’s not the herb’s fault.
It’s social medias fault. It’s every herbal advertisement’s fault. It’s every practitioner that generalizes fault. It’s every blog post & article that claims that X herb is good for Y because they used it and it worked.
Just like every person on this planet is highly unique & individualized in their make up & personality, so is every herb. Each herb on this planet is equally unique in it’s make up, properties & energetic qualities AND how it will work in an individuals body.
Some herbs are warming, stimulating and activating. While other herbs are cooling, astringent & drying.
The light, the dark, we need them both. And yet, sometimes the dark season seems long and hard. When we’re in the winter season, it’s time to slow, down, turn inward, become more quiet and introverted. And with this time for quiet, can also come a heaviness especially since, although the days become lighter after the Solstice, it still seems a long trek to the Spring.
So what can we do to bring a little bit more light & lightness into our wintertime to make it a little bit easier?
It’s the holiday season.
That means indulgences, eating lots of different kinds of foods, drinks, staying out late, packed schedules and rush, rush, rush!
So, where is the time for self care? Sometimes it’s nowhere to be found.
And yet, this is the time of year where I feel I need MORE self care & MORE of a “reboot” mind, body and spirit.
So, before the holidays really take off…I’m doing a week devoted to self-care. Would you like to join me?
This is what MY WEEK is going to look like, but you can do any variation or combination that suits YOUR schedule and needs. You can even start next week if you like. You’re the boss.

*Image From Halloween 2008, inspired by “Killer Clowns From Outer space” Halloween, or Samhain actually means “summer’s end” or the end of the harvest time.

This is a friendly reminder that you are doing everything right. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Every step, every decision, every act, every “mistake”, every job, person, apartment, place, and even pet that comes into your life, was put there for a reason. No matter how […]
