Have you ever tried a relaxation exercise, guided imagery, visualization, hypnosis? Well, today I tried a relaxation exercise called Journey on. Okay, so I remember a time in my life when I would have simply discarded this as a ridiculous waste of time, but I caution you not to do that. The mind is a very powerful thing. I realize that in the past, I have allowed negative feelings and emotions to overtake my body and cause very real physical symptoms to manifest. If my mind was able to let negative emotions do harm, then I must be able to use positive emotions to do good, right?
Obviously, using my mind to increase the blood flow and relaxation on one part of my body is not going transform my body over night into a perfect specimen of health. However, it is a pretty good start! I urge you to give this a try. And by give it a try I don't mean simply listen to the exercise. I mean really try! Give it your full attention and effort. If it does not work so well, try again tomorrow. I feel amazing after completing the exercise, with a renewed sense of mental strength! I want to know what you got out of it, and how you feel.

Welcome to my blog! I am so glad that you decided to stop by for a visit. Just as if you were to stop in for a visit to my home, I would like you to relax and make yourself comfortable. I'm always busy cooking up something, and you are welcome to have a taste of anything you like. Some days, if you stop by my house at good time, you may be rewarded with a taste of something delicious and nourishing that I have cooked up in my kitchen. Other days, you may find me cooking up ideas for silly games and activities to play with the children. Still other days, we may be working on strengthening our bodies through physical exercise. There will even be days that you may find nothing but chaos (I do have six children).  However, on the best of days, you may find something to nourish your mind, body, and soul. Finding a way to integrate all of this together is what it is all about, right?

As you have probably already guessed, I'm new to this whole blogging thing. But fortunately, I'm not new to life and sharing with others, so this may just be a little fun!
