Who am I but just a Vermont girl who is into fitness and organic gardening,   Lately with all of the wonderful information available I needed a place to store it for easy reference. I have been saving articles to read here on my blog, I hope you enjoy these articles as well, I also have a website….    check it out.

I have strong feelings about how to live well and be happy. This isn’t to say that I believe that life should be perfect and without “bumps” in the road. I do try very hard to not become overwhelmed by the details of day to day living and enjoy the big picture, smell the flowers so to speak. My routine chores are connected in such a way that they work on helping the inner self. I firmly believe that we should eat “close to the earth” and that we all need to exercise both our physical body and our minds.

Growing up a pseudo homesteader started my interest in gardening and healthy
living. Gardening and exercise are the things that occupy much of my free time.
Exercise can take many forms; I now do Yoga to improve flexibility, I have been weigh training for 20+ years and ride my new recumbent bike during the week. The beauty of weigh training is that you can start at anytime and continue into the twilight years of your life. Beyond the fact that you will look and feel better, you will use your muscles to create wonderful lifetime benefits.

Three years ago I realized that I was “working to live and living to work”, that was not how I intended to spend my life. Since that point my family has spent time away from the doldrums of everyday life. Traveling is something new to us and we have enjoyed every trip taken. Not only do I like to visit new places I also like to research the area before arriving.

In January of 2009 I started with Beachbody with reservations that a DVD workout would not be effective, boy was I wrong. I love the workouts that I have from Beachbody and look forward to them every day. I am now in the best shape I have ever been at 46 years of age. I can honestly say I will not go back to the aimless gym workout I had been doing as P90X and Turbo Fire really helped me when I needed it the most.
