I have a bad habit... well, maybe it's a kind of a silly habit, but it surely doesn't seem smart.  HA!  Nonetheless, I find myself giving way to it month after month.  Thankfully, thus far it's always turned out ok...  I'm glad for that - and I'm sure my guests are too.

Any guesses yet as to what I'm referring to yet?  Keep reading and I'll let you in on my secret... and share a yummy recipe (or 2) with you as well.

Your Endocrine System is responsible for your hormones... and it is being hijacked & wrecked by:

• 🕯️ Scented Candles
• 💄Beauty & Body Products
• 🍳Teflon Pans
• 🧼 Cleaning Products
• 🥤 Plasticware
• 🍕 Processed Food
• ☕️ Caffeine

Exchange them for ‘cleaner’ options and watch your hormones shift... it's kind of fabulous actually!  👏🏻

HERE ARE SAFER ALTERNATIVES:

As a Christian, how do you feel about the holiday of Halloween?  Honestly, until a few years ago - I never gave it a second thought.  We never participated in anything 'scary' or 'gory'... so it seemed like a 'fun' thing to do with the kids (and with most of America)..

THEN GOD.  You know I love a good "then God" experience, right?!

Then God started stirring my heart to question this tradition.  I began to feel conviction about not participating in it... but it can be really hard to go against (your family) eh hmm, tradition.  I was met with all of the typical responses and rebuttals, as you can imagine (and as perhaps you're thinking of right now).  So, I caved.  I went against that conviction (and felt horrible about it).

But here we are again, approaching October 31... and a lot has changed for me, including my way of thinking (and my boundaries).  Let me explain briefly how this played out and I'll share my conclusion to whether or not I am giving Halloween the YAY or NAY this year:

This is an 8-Week Coaching Program that focuses on weight loss and wellness.  I am certain this is going to be an impactful and transformative time for everyone who joins!
Through our time together you will go on a journey to:

• shift your habits,
• learn how to eat optimally,
• and adopt new mindsets
• to create a lifestyle change, not a short-lived diet.

Here's a glimpse into some of what you'll experience:

When I talk about living life with INTENTION, it’s about the little things and the big things too. They all play a part in building a life you love.

• In mid-August we took homeschool into the trees… our 2 story tiny treehouse to be exact.
• We packed up our textbooks and shifted our homeschool from the home office to the forest!

A homeschool treehouse may seem like an odd topic (when I’m usually over here sharing about nutrition, natural healing and following God), but it’s one way I can share with you how I *intentionally* evaluated what wasn’t working for our family and got creative with a solution.

Keep reading to learn what you need to ask yourself to create intention in YOUR LIFE...

​These are the core group of gals you'll find month in and month out at The Gathering Place!  The 5 of us have used that time:

• to learn about each other,
• create friendships,
• support, encourage and pray for one another,
• laugh (& sometimes cry) together...

and it is such a precious Godly gift.  These ladies make me a better person... they lift me up and raise my average so to speak.  ;-)

And you know what... there's a place here for YOU too.
​
We would LOVE to have you join us at The Gathering Place, because not only do I teach on a new topic each month - we also spend valuable time in community!  THAT is what it's all about.

If you're missing that circle of support & friendship - come join ours.
