If you don’t believe in astrology, numerology, or any of the related realms, that’s ok. I’m not here to say any of those methods are an exact science. I will say, however, that this book truly blew me away with its accuracy – and continues to each time I read it. I’m talking about a [...]

If you’re a vegetarian or vegan (or have ever tried any variation of diet that excludes meat or dairy), you’ve probably heard this question many times: “But how will you get your protein?” People seem to genuinely fear for your well-being, and insist that you can’t get enough protein if you’re vegan.  Well, thankfully, I [...]

I’d been meaning to read The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle for a long time – I finally read it (well, listened to the audio) and it was truly life changing! Most people spend a majority of their time thinking about what might happen in the future, or replaying stories from the past. The [...]

Lately I’ve been feeling like there’s a bit too much soy in my life. Now, let’s get one thing straight – I haven’t done enough research on the whole soy controversy to give hard facts about soy nutrition, so that’s not what this post is about. But I do find that being a vegetarian means [...]

Tony Robbins posted a very thought-provoking tweet the other day: “If you want to take the island, then burn your boats.
