Sarina on the Masaya Volcano Sunset Hike in Nicaragua
GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour 1/2013

Everywhere I go I simply find myself speaking and teaching about green juice and my mostly vegan lifestyle. At work meetings, at social events/gatherings, while on trips, at my wellness chiro’s office, at the gym, after races, and at high schools!

While on my trip to Central America (Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala), I had green juice or carrot juice 4 times during my 18 day trip! I was thrilled to discover it while at Pure Natural Health & Fitness Center in Granada, Nicaragua. Then at a healthy bistro place in Antigua, Guatemala. When I visited my friend Jessica in Alberta, Canada, I practically had green juice every day. Lo and behold, Jessica and her boyfriend were drinking right along with me!

About a month ago, out of nowhere, my [Continue Reading...]

Previously, I had shared the approach of Becoming a Force to be Reckoned with! At this time, I have a few more life-changing, create a revolution resources/books to share you! So much abundance available to us when we are open to receiving. This is the first year I’ve read so many books for leisure/development purposes, as opposed to academic reasons.

I just can’t stop myself. About a week ago, a box arrived from Amazon with five new books! Last weekend, I attended the NYC Book Launch party for a fellow BSchooler, Christina Rasmussen, Seconds Firsts: Live, Laugh and Love Again. My sister says the living room is looking like a library these days with books stacked on the edge of the couch. As if that’s such a terrible thing? Maybe she’ll [Continue Reading...]

It’s performance appraisal time in the workplace. Don’t you just love being judged on what you’ve accomplished? Ah, yeah, not so much.

Truth be told, as a HR professional, I used to dread and really dislike the entire process –self-appraisal, performance review with my boss, how I was measuring up to my boss’ expectations, and receiving constructive feedback.

As a Recovering Perfectionist, I definitely get it. I wanted to be a Super Star in every aspect of my life, which isn’t possible. I wanted to achieve “exceeds expectations” rating basically on every objective, while demonstrating the values & behaviors. I was making myself crazy and causing unnecessary stress for myself.

Performance Review process would almost always leave me thinking, “Was I good enough in my role and for this organization?”

I had [Continue Reading...]

Lake Louise, Banff National Park - Alberta, Canada trip - 8/2013

Manifesting or attracting what you desire into your life can be really simple. With only a few steps to implement you can bring desired opportunities and outcomes into your life. However, so many of us, including myself at times can get caught up in Obsessing rather than truly Manifesting. Could this be you?

Obsessive thinking doesn’t manifest what you want in your life. It actually creates anxiety and only delays the desired outcome. It keeps you from being present in the moment and from moving forward. It’s somewhat embarrassing to admit this, but I can spend hours and sometimes days obsessing over things before making a decision or taking action or refocusing and moving on. Trying to figure out the best approach. Trying to control when and how it comes [Continue Reading...]

Central America GAdventures Tour 1/2013 – Antigua, Guatemala

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) creates anxiety. This anxiety then creates inaction and lack of decisions. Allowing the anxiety about missing out or not being able to really participate in something will hold you back from living a full life, as ironic as this may seem. It will also compromise your true self.

Instead shift your focus on making decisions that really resonate with your True Self and what you need to do that’s in alignment of this. Sometimes it’s about saying “no” now, so you could potentially say “yes” to later on when the timing is right for you. Think of it as postponing rather than abandoning some true wants and desires. Think of it as shifting yourself forward with the right intentions while taking the right actions to change [Continue Reading...]
