Summer BBQ Fare With Flair
What's the perfect recipe for summer? Beaches, a little pool and of course a good barbeque. But how do you enjoy the tastes of summer and keep calories in check at the same time?

Emotional Well-Being Is Key to Healthy You
In our daily quest for the well-being lifestyle, we often overlook our emotional well-being. In counseling my clients, I often remind them to step back and enjoy the moment. With the techie advantages we enjoy we are always on----Flex hours at work give us the ability to start earlier and work later; email synced with mobile devices allows us to be connected around the clock, every single day. And let's get real, sometimes we want to take a time out--- we need to take a time out and unplug from the continuous connections for our emotional well-being.

Clean Eating, What’s it All About?
There has been a lot of chatter about clean eating and when you ask the omniscient Google, the search engine kicks out more than 61 million responses.

Here's to His Health
In sharing the gospel of a healthy lifestyle I often make presentations at health fairs and on-site workplace settings. Most often the audience is female.
