Organic Shopping List

I have been buying organic produce for about 8 years now.  I really think it is important to think about the kinds of chemicals we ingest and to make small choices that reduce that load even a little.  However, everyone I know is trying to cut costs and it’s pretty hard to swallow (pun intended) [...]

Yoga Therapy

My husband recently sent me a great article on yoga therapy.  This is an area that I have been exploring more and more in the last year.  I have been slowly gathering information from recent scientific studies as well as original yoga texts and then comparing what they have to say about the treatment of various emotional [...]

Shake It Off
