As you've entered the new year, what has been on your mind? What have you been thinking you'd like to change about yourself or to accomplish in your life? Do you have a particular health, weight loss, or fitness goal? Do you have a buried dream that you want to resurrect? Do you need a new job or want a different one? Do you have a desire to make a difference in the world? This is the time of year when we all start thinking about making a fresh start. We have hope in the year ahead and we feel we've been given a clean slate to become who we want to be....and we are right.
Now, ask yourself what, if anything, might be holding you back. Have you already started pursuing your goal? If not, why not? Why haven't you already set yourself on a course to accomplish your goal, realize your dream, or make the change within yourself? We all have the same reasons that hold us back from living the lives we really want: fear that we'll fail is a big one; not feeling like we deserve what we want is another; worry about what other people will think is a biggie; worn out recordings in our minds that tell us we're too old, that it's too late, that we're not smart enough, that it's going to be really hard, and on and on. Have you ever stepped back as a silent observer to listen to the bill of goods your mind tries to sell you every day? Most of it is garbage....and it isn't even true!
The truth is that you (all of you) are creative, resourceful, and whole and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Do you realize that everything in your life started out as a thought? Do you want to make a change? Change your thoughts! Begin to think thoughts that are in line with your goals. Begin to question the worn out recordings playing in your mind that bring you down and start to believe the truth about yourself. Make sure the picture you have of yourself is the "you" that you really want. Project yourself into the future and see yourself accomplishing your goals, living the life that you want, and being the person you want to be. The real you is not the negative recordings.The real you is great, strong, beautiful, at peace, loving, and joyful.
You were created in the image of Love, the most powerful force in the universe. Love is living on the inside of you and will help you to accomplish anything you want. And when you start pursuing your most cherished goals and dreams and living the life you truly desire you will start to get happy, and then you will pass happiness and hope on to others.
Yes, the new year gives us a clean slate, but every new day does, too. Go for it!

People everywhere are searching for better health, and many have become interested in natural health and nutrition as a means for becoming and staying healthy. I would like to participate in creating a healthier society, one that looks to natural means and encourages and empowers people to become their own health advocates.

The evidence points to a growing interest in natural health, particularly as it relates to nutrition. The Organic Trade Association reported that Americans spent almost $28 billion in 2008 on organic food, a marked increase from $1 billion in 1990.1 Further, dietary herbal supplement sales in the U.S. increased in 2008, reaching an estimated $4.8 billion.2 This figure does not even include the numerous non-herbal supplements being purchased. It is clear that people are seeking alternative solutions to achieve their health goals. Perhaps this is because the United States has close to the highest expenditure of health care in the world, as 15.3 percent of gross domestic product (The World Health Organization, 2009), yet continues to be a nation with countless health challenges. Our traditional models for achieving health are not working as well as people want them to and there is a hunger for other options.
