Simplicity
Yesterday I watched a presentation (via the web) that was happening at Pop!Tech in Camden, Maine. Mind you, for three solid days there were dozens of presenters and all of them were incredible - Benjamin Zander, Clay Shirky, Malcolm Gladwell, Imogen Heap, Saul Griffith - and so many more. But this particular presentation was so timely, poignant and real that it has stuck with me and will likely...

Music for the Soul
I’m all for relaxing to ambient music, like the moody and inspirational downloads at bliss that I’ve recently discovered. Nothing is better for a quiet meditation. That said, sometimes the best way to get out of your head and into your body is to go to a live show where the music just fills the air and you can feel it through every inch of your being. A few nights ago I was fortunate...

Oh, The Drama!
I was just reading an article in Body & Soul Magazine about letting go of pessimistic thinking. Life coach Cheryl Richardson wrote about how easy it is for all of us to slip into negative thoughts, particularly when faced with a challenge, no matter how big or small it is, letting our minds turn them from small unknowns into worst-case scenarios. We’ve all been there right? ...

Slow down, take it all in.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind and then miss the changes in nature that are happening all around us. It happens all the time- where did summer go? when did it get so cold? why is it dark so soon? In the past I’ve been guilty of going weeks from home to office and back home again long after the sun has set, barely stepping outside to take it all in and absorb...

But I can’t complain because I know all too well how long it can take to launch something online. It’s still in beta but YAY! Check it out, register, I’ll be there too, sharing my intentions and enjoying others that are posted.  Today my intention is to enjoy this...

“You get as many antioxidant health benefits of coconut oil for skin as you do...”
– Green Smoothie Girl | 12 Steps to Whole Food Eating I just discovered Green Smoothie Girl’s site - so far seems to be a great resource. I bought some coconut oil while I was Kauai last February, then put it away and forgot about it. After reading this article about all it’s uses, I’ve pulled it...

Finding Inspiration
Inspiration is a big part of why BodySoulConnect came to be - so many of the postings are links to other sites that have inspired or informed me in some interesting way. As I was checking out billionairewomen.com tonight I had to share a small excerpt from author’s bio that I felt was just beautiful and captured much of how I feel about BodySoulConnect. When writing weblog posts, and...

Recycled Treasures
Fall bring lots of street fairs, festivals and other outdoor events that allow us to take in the sunshine and cooler breezes (well, at least here in the mid-Atlantic region).  Today I enjoyed the beautiful October weather at Art on the Avenue in Alexandria, VA. Perhaps not new to artisans, but higher on our collective radar, were all the recycled items turned from trash to treasure in such...

so so sweet...yet tangy
I promised to return to Sweet Green in Georgetown, the shoebox-sized, eco-friendly salad and yogurt eatery, to try out the yogurt. So on a beautiful, sunny day last week, I took off a little early, ordered a regular size with raspberries, blueberries and mango, sat myself down on the bench facing M street and enjoyed every bite of it. I highly recommend it. It’s nothing like the...
