The stories are everywhere – always uplifting, always inspiring: 

• the woman who created a wellness clinic in her inner city neighborhood
• the man who lost 200 pounds after being housebound for a decade
• the mother who worked tirelessly bringing her sick child to radiant health
• the grandfather who quit cigarettes to realize his dream of running a marathon

Every day people just like you go out into the world and make their dreams come true.

They did it. Why not you? You’re no different than any of these successful individuals.

Why Couldn’t Your Dream Come True? 

True, it sounds hard. In fact, it probably is hard, with a number of obstacles to overcome. That may be reason enough to put your dream on permanent hold.

“Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.”

– Orison Swett Marden, writer

Could a Plan Help?
The easiest way to turn a dream into reality is one step at a time:

• Choose one thing to get done. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
• Identify what scares you most. Ask yourself: what’s the worst thing that could happen if I face this fear? Write down the worst-case scenario and how you would confront it.
• Identify a small reward for yourself once you’ve accomplished that activity.
• Then just do it. Complete and check that task off your list.
• Now treat yourself to the reward, rejoice, and celebrate!

Repeat the above steps as many times as necessary and watch yourself get happier and healthier by pursuing what you love.



Food Focus: Chia Seeds


Chia Seeds are a great source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Protein, Antioxidants, Fiber, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Iron and so many other nutrients.

They actually have two times more protein than any other grain/seed,  more Omega 3 than salmon, more antioxidants than blueberries, more fiber than flaxseed, more calcium than milk, more potassium than bananas, more magnesium than broccoli, and more iron than spinach.

If Chia Seeds are eaten at the same time as sugar, it will slow the impact of the sugar on the body. Chia gel (made when you put Chia seeds with liquids/foods) creates a physical barrier between carbohydrates and the digestive enzymes that break them down, slowing the conversion of carbs into sugar. 

When whole Chia Seeds are soaked in water they are easily digestd and absorbed; they also help to retain hydration and electrolytes. In addition,, they work like an incredible digestive broom, sweeping through your intestinal tract, helping to dislodge and eliminate old accumulated waste in the intestines.

Easy ways to incorporate Chia Seeds into your  and your family's daily diet is by making/consuming Chia Seed Puddings, Chia Seed Drinks along with adding a scoop to meatloaf, black bean burgers, casseroles, pancake mixes, and much more!
