Primary Food: Career
Career wellness is defined as engaging work that provides personal satisfaction and enrichment and is consistent with our values, goals and lifestyle. Looking at your career, could you say that this is true? We spend most of our time at work or at school and, for some of us, doing both. Our lives and choicesContinue reading “Primary Food: Career”
Condemnation vs Conviction – The difference is life or death
Meditation is a practice where an individual focuses the mind on a thought or activity. We are called to meditate on what is true, honorable, righteous, loving…. and as I said earlier, what we choose to think about will either fill us with death or life, blessing or curse. It’s our choice (Deuteronomy 11:26) So, what are you spending your time meditatingContinue reading “Condemnation vs Conviction – The difference is life or death”
Primary Food: Relationships
Relationships are the foundation of life. We were created by God for a relationship with Him, and we see in Genesis that God knows that man alone is not good, so Adam and Eve had each other as a gift for relationship. Our primary goal in life is to have a relationship with God thatContinue reading “Primary Food: Relationships”
Primary Food: Physical Activity – Movement is worship
The reason that physical activity is on the list of top important primary foods is because of the release of positive chemicals in our brains that reduce stress and anxiety while leading to mental clarity and calmness.

Your Thoughts Impact Your Weight! (and so much more)
75-95% of disease and health related issues stem from our thought life. This leaves only 2-25% of our life being impacted by food, supplements, and other things we put into our bodies, pretty shocking right?! This is proof that no matter how much effort we put into our diet and exercise; it weighs little in comparison to our thoughts. Continue reading “Your Thoughts Impact Your Weight! (and so much more)”
Body Image and Negative Self-Talk
And having put on a new self you are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your creator Colossians 3:10 Body-image and the horrible ways I can talk to myself has been my biggest distraction and has been for the past 15 years, if not longer.

Separation Tactics that keep us from walking with Purpose
My reflection on Exodus 3 – 5 and our current lives Moses is having an encounter with God and God tells him that He is going to use Moses to free the Israelite. Moses makes loads of excuses and tells God that he isn’t the man for the job. God, however, tells Moses that it isn’t Moses whoContinue reading “Separation Tactics that keep us from walking with Purpose”
Distraction: Social Media & Technology
Making the best use of time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:16 I find Instagram and Facebook to be a fun place to get distracted. I love reading inspirational stories, seeing scripture put into beautiful pictures and keeping up with the lives of people from my past, present and meeting new ones for the future. Even with allContinue reading “Distraction: Social Media & Technology”
