My First Trip Since COVID

Before COVID hit in March 2020, Bruce and I were scheduled weekly either at a convention or training for the entire calendar year. Then the ‘showdown-lockdown-no-work-in-the-horizon’ hit. Yes, we zoomed and wrote our books and did everything virtually imaginable –

The Powers and Perils of Stuff

Lessons from Portugal

We are now 3 months into 2019. Bruce and I took time off from our Wellness Wagon tour from mid-December until the beginning of March. We were able to return home to Santa Cruz and host our wonderful three sons

Water Only Fasting at the TrueNorth Health Center

In many of our lectures, Bruce and I will reference a book “The Pleasure Trap” by Dr. Douglas Lyle and Dr. Alan Goldhamer. This book identifies why we crave the foods we do and how to help return our taste

Really Great Friends

Bruce and I have always been a solo act. For our entire married life of 35 years, it has been just us. Family vacations were just us and the kids. No other families, no other friends of our kids –

We Can Do This

What a difference 5 years makes. Today marks 5 ½ years since Bruce’s prostate cancer diagnosis. We have gone through surgery, 2 rounds of radiation, 1 year of hormone treatment, and more PSA tests then I can count. The past

The European Adventure Begins

Bruce and I consider ourselves quite worldly. My teaching career has taken me to many amazing countries and Bruce’s passion for surfing has pointed him all over the world in search of perfect surf. For many years of our marriage,

Older and Wiser Words

I grew up in a household where words mattered. There were dire consequences for saying the S word and the F word was 100% unacceptable. Never did I hear my mother, grandmother, father, or grandfather use these words either in

Enjoy the Gaps.

We hope this blog finds you enjoying the wonderful time of year. For some of us, the holidays are filled with family, friends, and great times. For others, this time of year brings angst, over-committing, and sleep deprivation. For most

The Coolest Rapid Rider on the American River
