My family and I have discovered one of the most nutritious and delicious vegan recipes we’ve ever made and enjoyed. It’s definitely one of our favorites and I’m excited to share it with you. It’s so easy to make, too! And even easier for me, because I have three eager helpers in the kitchen. When …

We were masterfully designed, and therefore, each of us has a warning voice that comes from within, which is meant to help protect us from danger, destruction, and discomfort.

I recently got back from a 3-day live conference and I am still full from all the information and inspiration I received. I have been active in implementing so many ideas and following up with some of the amazing people I met. Conferences are wonderful, and you have the power to make each event a productive experience …

Gift-giving is a big part of Christmas in every culture, however, unlike in most homes in the United States, our family does not place presents under the tree or exchange gifts on Christmas Day.
