I had tried several times and I was never able to come close – not even up to half of what research recommended. For years, eight glasses of water was what I heard people say was necessary to stay well hydrated for your body to function optimally. No matter how hard I tried, I wasContinue reading “How I lost weight by drinking tea”

Your talents are healing tools – are you optimizing them?
I don’t need a lot of things to make me happy. Just give me some colored paper, a pair of scissors, a toothpick and some glue and I’m good. These materials are what I need to make greeting cards or wall art using a technique called quilling, which is basically cutting colored paper into strips,Continue reading “Your talents are healing tools – are you optimizing them?”
The absurd secret of optimal health
It was not until some months ago that I started to understand the logic. Logic, not by the world’s standards but by the standards of God’s kingdom. As I diligently sought to be a dedicated citizen of God’s kingdom, I spent time reading and meditating on the good news that also describes the kingdom’s modusContinue reading “The absurd secret of optimal health”
Baby steps to optimal health
My home office desk looks out unto a cul-de-sac in my community, and I get to see most of the daily activity going on in our ‘mini neighborhood’, including neighbors leaving for and returning from work, older kids going to and returning from school, little kids appropriately dressed and playing in all types of weather,Continue reading “Baby steps to optimal health”
Is your “Self-Care” in vain?
I believed it for a while. The popular talk about “self-care” was so logical that it made a ton of sense no matter how I looked at it. It often goes like this: “You have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of others” and if you prefer the metaphorical version,Continue reading “Is your “Self-Care” in vain?”
How CHANGE almost crippled me.
A few years ago, I had a terrible left shoulder pain. It had been around for about three months, hurt so bad and no pain killers worked. I had been praying, gone to see a doctor, and eventually had to go for massage. The shoulder pain still decided to go nowhere! I was at aContinue reading “How CHANGE almost crippled me.”
Your life’s purpose is closer than you think
It worried me for years. What did God really create me for? What was my life’s purpose? It had become a cliché topic by many Christian motivational speakers, aka pastors, just because their motivational spill was based on the bible. “Everyone is created for a purpose and you must find that purpose to live yourContinue reading “Your life’s purpose is closer than you think”
Crows taught me how to truly love
Last year, one beautiful summer morning, I went out for my usual brisk one-hour walk around the neighborhood. About ten minutes into my walk, I saw in the distance, the gory sight of a hare that had been crushed by a car, with its’ entrails spilled out on the road. As I got closer, IContinue reading “Crows taught me how to truly love”
Silent treatment and your health
You can most likely relate. You are on your way from work – exhausted, yet daydreaming about how you would crash on the couch when you get home, with a cool drink in your hand, relaxing and unwinding as you tell your spouse about all your frustrations at work. As soon as you walk intoContinue reading “Silent treatment and your health”
De-cluttering saves lives- literally
Sometime last week, I flipped when I looked at my phone and saw that I had over 20,000 unread email messages! That got me started on my latest task of de-cluttering my email box. For sure, it was going to take some time to get that number to almost zero, so I put a quickContinue reading “De-cluttering saves lives- literally”
