A Lovely Event
Just returned home today from Las Vegas where I was invited to speak last Saturday at the Lone Mountain Stake Women’s Conference. It is a blessing to be included in a large group (about 500 I was told) of lovely women with such beautiful energy and pleasant smiles. The conference had every detail attended to–they [...]
Pumpkins are full of surprises
Pumpkins are dotting the countryside, in every yard and on every front porch. They’re a lovely splash of fall color, but more than being decorative—pumpkins are an amazing super fruit. We often call them a vegetable but this nutritionally dense powerhouse is a member of the gourd family—a fruit. Pumpkin contains an abundance of disease-fighting [...]
Starting a diet or food plan
Whether trying to loose weight, cleanse the body, improve body markers like cholesterol, or whatever you goal is–when it comes to your health, it is a test of endurance and not a sprint. The difficulty comes in “staying” on program. It’s largely a game of your will, your metal is challenged daily. And each day, [...]
Be Ready To Bust A Move
For two-and-a-half year old Sophie, spontaneous twirling, gyrating, and specific “fly girl” moves can happen at any moment. With or without music, any open space is an invitation to “bust a move.” You can see the joy in her movement, it’s beautiful to watch. Being a grandmother is the best job there is.

Speakers, [...]

The circumstance aren’t always perfect, one gals is recovering from foot surgery, one recently sprained her ankle, one mom is carefully juggling kids, different schools and carpooling, one gal drives all the way in from Monrovia about [...]
Let’s Nail This One Down
Your body sends ongoing signals that tell the world about your health: Your posture, the look on your face, the clarity of your eyes, your energy level and mood are just a few. But your finger and toe nails also have quite a lot to say about you. For example, with the growth rate of [...]
Really feels like summer
I’ve been spending a few days in Salt Lake City seeing my new beautiful grand son. It has been such a joy to meander on out to the garden whenever a vegetable is needed. My son and his wife have a gorgeous, bountiful garden that I have had a blast with. I have picked fresh [...]
Change…flow it out
Over the last few weeks, I moved, put on the retreat, incorporated my business, had a couple of grand babies, went on a network show and released my Exercise DVD on Amazon. Lots of moving parts have kept me from writing here, but it’s time to get the cob webs out of my blog. I [...]
