I am going to get real; you are not receiving a staged photograph of a perfectly healthy, low-calorie, low-taste “perfect Thanksgiving” meal from my family. Of course, producing an anti-inflammatory foods filled menu would be “on-brand,” but it ain’t real.
There are enough health and wellness blogs and experts pressuring us with an #Instaworthy photograph of a paleo or vegan Thanksgiving meal all perfectly placed on fine china. This does not happen with our family, how about you?
I want to discuss the state of your mind, spirit, and relationships as we start the holiday season. Is it possible to survive without all of the drama, trauma, and craziness?

Is the start summer holiday season feeling like a hot mess with stress?
Holiday long weekends, barbecues, and family reunions bring a mixture of joy, food, & sometimes added drama, trauma and stress.
With children out of school, work and home can become a bigger juggling act. Do the lines at the theme parks, movie theaters, and restaurants seem a little longer, hotter, and unmanageable?
I had to be reminded to rest and take a break this week while traveling with a corporate client in South Carolina.

Happy New Year to the peacemakers in our global, mindful, living community.
When we last connected around the New Year, we were speaking about setting powerful intentions to have peace and success in our minds, health, and lives at the start of 2017.
Ten days into the New Year, how is that coming along for you?
Last Tuesday, my business year started, and I felt like a bullet-speed train ready to derail if one more task got added to my to-do list in Asana. As I boarded a plane for San Francisco Thursday, I pondered - what does it take to hold on to inner peace once we get a glimpse?

“Setting intentions means to set a goal that is alignment with our spirit. To live intentionally and mindfully, we start with a positive intention.” Dr. Romie
My heart is full of gratitude that you shared your journey with me this past year. We may have met online, at one of my speaking engagements, through Twitter, or through individual counseling.
I hold the intention that you have moved forward in your journey towards health, happiness and connecting to hope this past year.
Have you had challenging moments, loss, or unexpected and uncomfortable shifts? You are not alone.

Do the holidays bring out the "B" word?
Busy.
Or perhaps we have just moved on to beyond-busy where sleep and sanity are optional?
