Health & Travel Vibes
I Escaped My UnHealthy Life in a Box
Career. Life in a box was my office - 4 walls and a little window. My last job more than any other, left me knotted & drained. It was TOO many years of constant stress and I had new health issues sometimes weekly. Eventually I turned into something like a train wreck, and had somehow lost "ME".
Evidence. The scariest day was when my dentist told me I needed to get rid of my stress. Most times I didn't have time for a Doctor visit or a sick day. I knew - it was time to plan my retirement from the corporate world which took another 5 years to accomplish. Next up: get my health & sanity back. See my blogs: Health Vibes.
Health. Over 25 years ago, I discovered a happiness, confidence, and satisfaction in being a healthier person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not health fanatic....I mean a girl's gotta be able to enjoy some chocolate cake on occasion.
About/Contact Me
Travel. I've always wanted to explore new places, the wonders in nature, history (the older the better), and different cultures & it's people. What I don't want is to live out of a suitcase for 10 years because that can eventually dull the senses. Traveling non-stop can become routine & burdensome - luggage hauling, lodging scares , waiting at customs, etc. See: USA Travel or World Travel.
I want to start each adventure with excitement, enjoy the special moments, and not stress. Besides, I love my animals and my own bed to give them up for long. The max I travel at one time is 4 weeks. I also love my friends & church, and let's not forget the comforts & joys of home. There's a satisfaction in that.
I'd love to help you find your rhythm & healthy balance like I did.
Diving a little deeper into this healthier lifestyle, I learned 2 very important facts. #1. Being healthier doesn't mean boring & grueling hours in the gym. It's doing fun activities outdoors (which is healthier) that improve strength, cardio & range of motion. #2. Using natural/holistic methods to heal & keep your body's systems functioning properly is healthier than getting prescription medication. It's also cheaper & time saving. Can't beat that with a carrot! LOL.

Health & Travel is a Life Journey
Being passionate about health & travel, I've learned how to slow down & smell the roses. I make time to pray & meditate before my busy day begins because if you're not mentally prepared for the challenges ahead, you could easily stumble or full-on face plant. I make time for exercise, outdoor activities, and volunteering at therapeutic horse facilities with all their animals.
And in between - I travel. With a mental calm, a stronger body, and joyous anticipation, I can more fully absorb the places we visit. I've also learned how to be in the moment instead of worrying about "to do" lists. And, I've learned how to balance myself with restful & relaxing moments when I need them which keeps me in a more restored state of being.
Occasionally, my A type personality kicks in - but since I know what the onset of stress feels like - it's fairly easy for me to quickly self correct. It's about finding your rhythm & balance and turning inabilities into possibilities.

Travel - it's proven that fun trips to your own backyard, around your city, or across the ocean will boost your health in many ways. Travel Tips are provided for less stress.
Budget - if your finances won't give you that month long trip across Europe, you can focus on fun, less expensive trips. Take several 2-3 day weekend trips via car, bus, or train. Biking and inflatable kayaks provide loads of fun with minimal cost. You only need a good pair of shoes to go hiking, a pair of shorts to do yoga, and some type of clothing to go swimming.
Our World - it's beauty, resources, and all living things should be respected & cared for. However.....I still question if that applies to big nasty bugs or snakes!
Truth - when research data differs, I have to choose the fact most repeated.
Opinions - I'll offer some, but it's not a guarantee. It's OK if you disagree.
Comments - I'd love to hear from you, but please be kind with criticism.
