Elements For A Healthier Life Magazine Issue 13 | August/September 2017 | Page 25

The intention I established when I created Elements For A Healthier Life Magazine is to help people find and experience balance in the workplace, relationships, with body movement, spirituality and how we nourish our precious bodies. Over the year as the publisher, I have a clearer vision of how everything in our lives is connected. No matter which element you start the sentence with, “___ directly affects ___, ___, ___ and how I nourish my body. Here’s an example: The workplace directly affects my relationships, body movement, spiritual practices and how I nourish my body. My relationships directly affects the workplace, spiritual practices, body movement and how I nourish my body. What do you feel when you read those statements?

“Change occurs with awareness.”

Through my son’s death, I am expanding the unconditional love I have for who I am, working to be my own caregiver, and implementing the ways I desire to live life in motion. On the healing side of grieving, I cleaned up my diet, am connecting with my support system, wearing mascara, moving my precious body, and settling back into a meditation routine. Life (when you pause and think about it) is an amazing adventure; it was never intended to be lived in gray-scale.
