Jessica + Sarina hiking at Lake Louise in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mts - 8/2013

Why not live every day like its vacation? Experience the simple pleasures in life, embrace happiness in the moment! These thoughts came to me on Day One of my trip in Calgary, Alberta, while I enjoyed a delish, healthy vegan lunch (yellow split pea veggie burger with beet hemp seed green salad, veggie chips and hummus) on a balcony overlooking the distant mountains.

Here I was, on the west coast of Canada in Calgary visiting Jessica, a dear friend and roommate from my SE Asia GAdventures tour. Remember that once-in-a-lifetime trip?! If not, then check out that blog article to see how I embraced being out of my element, began taking more risks, broke free of self-imposed boundaries and was reassured that anything is possible!

Perhaps it was the way I chose [Continue Reading...]

Alright, I’ll admit to it, even after being somewhat reluctant to adding something else to my hectic lifestyle and to making another daily commitment; I’ve become obsessed with Green Juice! And I’m having a serious love fest with it!

That’s right “Fiber Queen” is making her way to becoming “Green Juice Queen”. Who would have thought that this could be such an adventure and so much fun? Everything from going to the market to selecting a variety of veggies, fruits, herbs, and roots, to figuring out how to prep a piece of ginger and beet, to all the abundant and creative recipes of green juicing/smoothies! Of course, I had to ask my sister, Amanda, for help on what to do with ginger root and the beet. Wow, there was so much [Continue Reading...]

If you’re anything like me and have moments of feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, obsessed over the right approach and the end result, well I’ve got a secret for you to rock your world and give you back your liberation!

As in any HR employee relations matter, I allowed the employee to tell me what brought her down, asked her the appropriate questions and listened to what she had to say. We had [Continue Reading...]
