Getting Healthy

This week was a vast, swirling, emotional roller-coaster.  It was announced that my company is hiring a new director, who I will be reporting to, so I’m getting a new boss.  That’s going to be an adjustment—I love my current one.  It could certainly be good news, but for the moment it was a shock. [...]

It’s the end of Week 1 of Getting Healthy and time for, I believe, the last introductory post.  I’ll try to make it short and sweet. I’m super excited to be here!  Like my co-conspirators, I’m at a fantastic place in my life to start this kind of a challenge.  Here’s my deal: I’m a [...]

The holidays sure threw a wrench in my tires with seeing as many people as I could while in Michigan and then flying all over the country, and now here I am with my last post for Chapter 2…thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement!

Because I am very easily bored, working out is really hard for me. I’ve tried gym memberships (I never go), yoga (okay for about 10 minutes, [...]

What has two thumbs and joined a gym last Friday? If you answered “a Michelle in Seattle” you would be absolutely correct! I ended up joining a nice little place that requires no contracts, is easy on the budget, is close to home AND includes personal training. Their selection of classes looks pretty rad as [...]

I managed to “take time for me” this week…and it seems that I’ve done so at the expense of everything else. Goal: Work Out Twice a Week As promised, I worked out right after I wrote my Week Two post, last Sunday.  Since then?  Not so much.  I skipped Tuesday in favor of watching a [...]

This week I began a course of Australian Bush Flower Essences. In a nutshell, Flower Essences are energetic preparations, made from flowers, that can be used to heal emotional and spiritual blocks. There is very little of the physical flower left in a Flower Essence, and only the flower’s vital energy remains (kind of like [...]
