Spring is one of my favorite seasons (aside from the allergies that go along with it). It's a time when winter has passed and everything starts waking up from a long slumber. The trees start budding, flowers start sprouting, and wildlife activity peaks. As someone who thoroughly enjoys nature and loves spending time outdoors, spring is the perfect season to start making up for all those days spent inside. Not to mention with the new season comes (can you guess it?) new food!

Who said the holidays have to become a time for eating unhealthy food and waking up with hangovers? You want to enjoy this festive season with family and friends — but since when did that entail practicing unhealthy habits? 

Starting your yoga practice or sitting down on a cushion to meditate, we have all heard the phrase set your own intention. Yet, if you are like me when I started my journey into wellness, you don't quite grasp the full scope of what an intention is outside of it being a positive affirmation at most.

One way to get children engaged in the garden is to share with them your love of birding.  Birds are both helpful to a garden and also a sign of a healthy garden, so encouraging them to visit your yard is a great idea.  An even better idea?  Getting kids excited about the feathered visitors and the role they play in the larger ecosyst

In today’s fast-paced world it is so easy to get distracted by competition, stress, and goals.

What's your favorite season? Maybe it's summer because you get to go to the beach. Or maybe it's spring because the weather finally starts to warm up and everything comes alive again. No matter which you pick, all four seasons are beautiful and have something to teach us. Living in tune with the seasons can really be a rewarding and make us happier year round.

There's an old saying: "If factory farms had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian." That's because the abuse and torture in factory farms is completely unbearable and unacceptable. Pigs, cows, chickens, fish, and other animals suffer miserably on modern farms.

Fasten your seatbelts for the New Moon in Scorpio on Sunday, October 27, when the Sun and Moon in Scorpio will be directly opposite revolutionary Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is the planet of innovation that likes to upset the status quo. When it is placed in the earth sign of Taurus, it reconfigures finances, values, and possessions. The energy of Uranus gives us lessons about non-attachment and surrender. When the Sun and Moon are in the intense water sign of Scorpio, as they will be on October 27, deep emotions and passionate feelings also are brought to the surface to be healed.
