Mindfulness & Spirituality

If you’ve followed Davy and I for any length of time, you probably know us as the green smoothie couple! We have shared hundreds of green smoothie recipes in our book and on our blog, and we have written about weight loss and many other health benefits since 2009. While we have focused primarily on […]

Smudging and the use of smudge sticks have become quite popular in recent years, with white sage being the most popular herb used. However, most people don’t know that there are MANY more herbs that you can use beside the ever-popular white sage and cedar. In fact, most people have access to dozens of plants […]

Whether it’s a bright, luminous glow on a clear, crisp morning, or a tiny sliver of a crescent just after a new moon, something stirs within me when I see the moon. I have always tried to pay attention to moon phases as I do the cyclical changes that each season brings. Doing this gives […]

The loss of a job, business failure, a divorce, the loss of a loved one – difficult times like these can leave you feeling hopeless, alone, and completely powerless. While I am fortunate to have never been through divorce or the loss of a loved one, I have gone through job loss, business failure, bankruptcy, […]

Tracy and I did a burning ritual this morning to release things that were holding us back in our lives.

Tracy and I have wanted to get a Tibetan singing bowl for the longest time. We love the sound of them. Tracy regularly listens to Tibetan bowl mediation music on Youtube. We’ve read about the healing benefits of sound therapy – particularly from singing bowls (more on this below). So last summer, Tracy and I […]

Last year (2018) was a year of massive change and transformation for Davy and I. We sold our home. We pivoted our business in an entirely new direction. We were preparing to go nomadic with our 5-year old. It was a whirlwind of pushing against (and being pulled outside of) our comfort zone. Sometimes, the […]

I’m into crystal healing! There, I said it. I’m coming out of the closet, er…crystal cave. But here’s the real surprise – I’m a skeptic. I have a staunch, naturalistic worldview, and while my love of natural history sparked my crystal obsession, I am not what you might expect as a healing crystal fanatic. But […]

Becoming more mindful has been a long journey for me. It’s something I never thought about as a kid, and when I became more aware of it as an adult I would roll my eyes and say it was something that I didn’t need or want to do. I mean, who has time to sit […]
