Poppy on a Kite

Dear Poppy readers. I hope you haven’t given up on me, haha. There are just those moments in life that cannot be captured with words. And the last two months have been just that. This year is shaping up to be one of the best of my life. I’ve conquered some fears, had some amazingly…

My old weight watchers leader used to remind us to keep track of all the BLT’s that we ate in a day. Now as much as I enjoy a fabulous BLT every now and again… I wouldn’t say that it’s so many that I need to keep track how many I eat in a day.

Shannon, my most faithful poppy seed, attended the Everybody Eats conference this past Saturday and learned a thing or two about food democracy!

Will you be your own valentine today? Will you look yourself in the mirror and be grateful for your uniqueness? Will you accept yourself, regardless of where you are on your health and wellness journey? Well, there it is in a nutshell … my body peace challenge to you on this Hallmark holiday.

Shannon talks about taking pampering to another level. Inner pampering I love to pamper myself; I always have. Whether it’s a splurge on a manicure, yoga classes, a rare massage, or not-so-rare haircut; a hot bubble bath, good book or do-it-yourself mani/pedi at home – “me-time” is something I make time for.
