This month we are all about carrying on with joy!

Live in wellness. Nourish your body. Move more. Be mindful. Sing! Dance! Remember to BREATHE. Read less news, and more novels. Be Mindful. Enjoy life. And… create JOY with all that you do!

Move: Morning Stretches

Say “Good Morning” to your body and mind in a healthy way, every single day! However… these stretches can be done ANY time of day, when you have the ability to lie down on a bed, or a mat, or the floor! Before you begin your day, before a walk, or before bed ~ to take all the kinks out of your body and mind.

New Years RE-Solutions

Forget a New Years resolution! How about RE-solutions? That is… taking who we are; how we are in our daily lives and discover new solutions for self- improvement.

Taking care of yourself with practical, mindful, meaningful and SIMPLE day in and day out practices that relieve stress and spread joy! This approach to self-care will emanate at levels that will astound you for the new year ~ and forever!

Here are 2 tips Carol learned on CBS SUNDAY NEWS to embrace as we RE-solve with intentions for self-improvement. Create beauty and joy from our flaws…

KINTSUGI ~ Japanese for ‘Golden Joinery’
As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of the object, rather than something to disguise.

PENTIMENTO ~ Italian for ‘repent’ with a positive twist. Shed light on our flaws as we repair them.

RE-solve; Repair; REJOICE!
