LIVE HEALTHY.
Living Healthy lies in having your needs met in the spiritual, physical, intellectual and emotional aspects of your life. This includes healthy relationships, with those people you care about and that care about you; purposeful work, that you enjoy doing and that gives you energy; and proper nutrition and physical activity that maintains your healthy weight, nourishes your body with foods and movement that give you the strength, energy and clarity you need to be the best you can be. Life satisfaction revolves around these factors and balancing them based on your needs.
​Live Healthy.  
DREAM BIG.
Dreaming Big is to visualize yourself as your best self. No dream is too big! You can create a vision as far reaching as you want; because it is your vision.  What does it look like?  What do you look like? What do you want? You can have what is important to you in your life. What do you want for your life that makes you feel purposeful, appreciated, joyful, and gets you excited about being alive and jumping into everyday? You can have it.
​Dream Big.
BE BOLD.
Being Bold is to take that first step toward your dream(s). Robert Frost said, "Freedom lies in being bold."  There is power and magic in moving forward with your purpose. It takes boldness to leap and run, moving in the direction of your dreams and following your passion. There is life giving energy in being bold.  Be bold in every way.  You can be gentle in your boldness. Just start.
