Can you leave the 'shoulds' behind and embrace 'inspiration' and trust your "still small voice"?


Do you sometimes or perhaps a lot of the time feel like you're no longer a whole person but you are but  fragmented, the pieces of your life are separated and not functioning peacefully and in harmony as a whole? Kind of like a tree in Autumn who's losing it's leaves that have been a fruitful part of it for such a long time?


and then ends up looking and feeling so bare and bereft like this tree!

As so many outside voices demand an incessant cry of 'shoulds' to you that you eventually give in because it's easier to keep the peace than muster up energy and fortitude to "march to the beat of your own drum"?

"If a man does not keep pace with his own companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music that he hears, however measured or far away" 
~Henry David Thoreau~

Do you hear that quiet and still small voice within providing you with ideas, suggestions and inspirations that you are certain, will be the steps to the path of contentment, calmness, fulfillment? It calls again and again doesn't it, yet each time, the voice is quieter and quieter as it cannot compete with the noisy and demanding voices from the outside nor the frantic pace of your overly-busy and committed life.

Peace eludes you. Joy eludes you. Sleeplessness dogs you. Exhaustion is your steady companion. Your body with its less-than-feeling-right symptoms is not just crying out to you anymore but almost screaming at you to pay attention, yet you also push it to the side for 'another day', so that you can get that just-this-one-more-thing done today.

Then the body just stops crying as it replaces its signals and voices to chronic aches, pains or substandard functioning. Some of them land you in the hospital or a doctors office.

We've all been traitors to our true selves at one time or another; replacing what we know brings our spirit, mind and body true health, peace, wellness, contentment and joy with the falseness of busyness, overcommitment, fearfulness, anxiety and lack of authentic self-care.

I've been there and oh so recently! Me! The 'Health Coach'!!! Ya, we're ALL human, so welcome to the club. Am I choosing to stay there? No way.

My Raving Review of Mr. Chewy Pet Food/Product Company

I'm sure you are like me in that, when you try something that you like or that takes it over the top, you simply MUST share it.

 MrChewy.com is your #1 source for Pet Food Online

Here is my raving review of Mr. Chewy, a company that carries 70+ top brands of cat and dog food and ships for FREE and offers much more!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am a 'Research Queen' who will spend all the time necessary to search out food, products, health information etc. for my husband and I as well as for our beloved Beagle, Bailey, whom we adopted two years ago. As a responsible steward of my own health and a Lifestyle Wellness Coach, my care of my dog takes on the same conscientiousness and intentionality. I do this as well for my Coaching clients and Pet Sitting clients.

I discovered Mr. Chewy by accident initially, as the Australian raw freeze-dried food I ordered used Mr. Chewy as their shipping medium.

Bailey is assisting opening the shipment from Mr. Chewy because he knows what's inside!

Being the curious type that I am, I then visited Mr. Chewy’s website online and became a ‘furever’ customer  for the following reasons:

1. Mr. Chewy carries the exact brand of specialized dog food that I had ordered
2. Mr. Chewy carries other top quality food and products that I can order to provide rotation in Bailey’s diet
3. Mr. Chewy ‘s prices are significantly less costly than the original product’s website and of any retail outlet
4. Mr. Chewy offered me a 15% discount on my order
5. I could receive free shipping on orders $49+ and delivery within 1-2 days
6. I could place my order on autoship, arrange 2nd and 3rd autoships if desired,  and have liberty in choosing the         exact time frames in which these autoships would arrive to me
7. Customers can chat live online should they have questions or problems
8. The website is very user friendly and attractive
9. I could participate in animal benevolence programs via participation in a referral program

I am thrilled with this tall list of amazing services and benefits for conscientious, caring and busy pet owners like myself, and made me very excited to refer this site and its benefits to all my clients for their Furever Pets!

Truly, Mr. Chewy has captured the heart and needs of pet owners and truly does deliver pet happiness!

Thank you Mr. Chewy;  you haven’t seen the last of us!

Kind Regards, Bailey Beagle & Lori of PawzitiveFX Petsitting

Latest Research On Longevity Tips From Centenarians


Have YOU ever thought about or desired to live to be 100? Can't say that I have (the thought of what I might look like by then makes me cringe, actually) but I do know that as long as I do have life in me, I wish to be healthy and have quality of life to be able to enjoy the outdoors, have adventures, keep up with the Grandkids, not live with disability or pain and to hopefully accomplish what God would have me do.

The primary findings from 100 Centenarians by United Health Care regarding the difference in lifestyle wellness factors between Centenarians and Boomers are:
  • 71% of Centenarians get 8 or 8+ hours of sleep per night while 38% of Boomers get the same
  • More than 80% of Centenarians eat a nutritionally-balanced meal per day, while only 68% of Boomers do the same
Some of the keys to successful aging, according to Centenarians are:
  • Spiritual activity - 67% say the engage in some form of meditation or prayer daily
  • Social connections - 89% are daily in communication with family or friends,  20% + volunteer regularly and many continue to hold employment after age 65
  • Physical Activity - 69% stay physically active through exercising regularly and exercising with peer group is the top choice of most older adults

Florida flooding & the health risks imposed [#Debby]



This posting is not my own idea ~ I just read this on the local weather/news website and wanted to share it.

With the flooding from Tropical Storm Debby here in Florida, more people are using alternate means of transportation, as in human-powered: walking, biking etc. due to cars not being able to get down streets, over bridges etc.
Unknowingly however, flood waters can contain fecal matter, bacteria, viruses etc.

Please click THIS LINK to read the complete article and to know how to wash and disinfect yourself after being exposed to these risks. 


Be safe our there, Florida.
Know where your local shelters are. The Shelter available in Winter Haven, FL is: St. John's Methodist Church, 1800 Cypress Gardens Blvd. SE Winter Haven 33884

And if you live in Winter Haven/Auburndale, you are welcome at my house! (friendly dogs also welcome)
