If we say happiness is a feeling - a sense of pleasure or gladness, it won’t last. We end up chasing it and when it goes away, we try harder to go after it. If we re-define happiness, we must learn to experience a full range of human emotions.

Quality AND Quantity - The Blue Zones is more than just living longer, it’s also about living a meaningful life

Know Your Purpose: What is your reason for waking up in the morning?

Right Tribe: Like-minded people

Eat like an Okinawan: 80% rule

Downshift: Stop and watch the thunderstorm

Faith, food, family and friends

Make your family and friends a priority!

This month’s Blue Zone concept is Wine at Five. You’ll find wine pairing suggestions for each plant slant recipe I’ve shared to date.

Have fun, move naturally and feel fabulous!

This month is all about reclaiming balance. (Plus, one of my favorite salad recipes.)

How do you welcome the summer season? Being mindful of the transition is worth considering.
