Strengthen Your Bones, Lengthen You Life.
I didn’t think it was true. I didn’t think it was possible. And, then, I didn’t think it was fair. After being diagnosed at the early age of 30 with Osteoporosis, a silent, yet fatal disease, I was not sure what to do or where to go. I was doing everything I understood to be […]
Veggie Tales
As many of you know, my husband, Joshua Attanasio, decided to go vegan for 30 days in honor of Bethlehem’s Vegfest, and, maybe in honor of me too. I have been vegetarian ever since he has known me (almost 20 years) and turned vegan almost 10 years ago. He nobly walked quite a few miles […]
Sip, Savor, Digest!
I have been home for less than 5 days and I already miss Italy. I love Bethlehem and all my friends and family, but I miss the simplicity of life and the appreciation for acting with intention. I often find that in the US we move at such a fast pace that we often forget […]
Turn Your Obstacles into Goals!
A few weeks ago, I found out I had multiple stress fractures in my right foot. As a runner, yogi and all around active person, it broke my heart. I cried and sulked a bit because this has been an on-going obstacle for almost 10 years. Fractures have plagued my body and punctured my soul […]
Ditching Fear & Guilt!
Fear fills our hearts. Guilt plagues our souls. Often we make decisions based on these two factors allowing them to consume our lives. Take a moment to reflect on something as simple as your plans throughout the summer. How many activities are on your calendar because you are afraid to say “no” or you will […]
Mixing Business With Pleasure
We were raised to never do this. We feel guilty when we do it. But, why can’t we? Why should business be boring? Why should it be painful? Why should it be unfulfilling? Why should it not include all that you love? Well, I am here to tell you to embrace this amazing combination. Mix […]
Vegging Out Is Not Always Easy!
‘Tis the season to fill your plates and your bellies with lots of fruits and veggies. Making it the perfect time to experiment with a vegetarian or vegan diet. However, be prepared, being healthy and vegged out is not as easy as it may appear. I have spent more than half my life as a […]
Let Today, Inspire Tomorrow!
To be honest and a little blunt, for me, Monday sucked! This was not your usual Monday blahs, but rather a day full of setbacks, mishaps and unpleasant surprises. Rather than stay calm and move through the day as the happy yogi I tend to be, I freaked, I spazzed, I panicked and I think […]
Run Away! NO Sneakers Required!
I am running away! Not forever, but just for this weekend! I encourage you to do the same. It is nothing you or my family did; it is just a required recharge. After this blog, I am stepping away from the MacBook, iPad and iPhone. I love apples, but this is ridiculous! I am spending […]
Cleaning Out the Cobwebs
It can be a little dusty, it’s filled with lots of stuff, it’s definitely cluttered. Do you know what I am referring to? For you, it may be your basement, the spare bedroom, the attic, the garage…? But, I am actually talking about your busy mind. There are so many thoughts moving through our minds: […]
