  There is something so magical about this time of year. People shift and stir. Dream. Declare. Pursue and re-imagine. We feel like we’ve been given a divine permission to bust through old habits, negative thoughts and other stagnation. Mentally, physically, relationally, emotionally and in all our roles in life. To be set free. To move […]

  True confession: in all the years past, Mondays were always my day to start my post weekend cleanse. Usually something extreme, like not eating dairy and grains and sugar and alcohol and meat or juicing straight until I felt a little like gumby. Something- if I’m being totally honest with you- that would make […]

I know you can picture it: the hazy, dreamy images of sipping hot coffee and cozying up in swaddles of soft blankets, with candles flickering, and a fire roaring. People reading, working. Sipping.

In little, daily ways. I’m not talking profound here. Although profound gifts are awesome-  they can be a lot of pressure. Which is […]

And why it’s necessary. This week I’m taking a break. So I’ll just keep it short and sweet: Make sure you do too. At some point in the next 3 months. Don’t feel like you have the time? That’s a sign you’re probably one of the people that needs it most. {raising my own hand […]

  Today I have a little story for you. And a myth we need to shatter ASAP. Everyone knows that in order to be healthy, you have to eat healthy. Right? Right. True.

Remember Katie from last week? [catch up here if you haven’t read last week’s blog post yet] I kind of left you on a cliff-hanger there. Because that was her email to me before she did the (Fall) Meal Plan. But, bigger question: so, what about after? How did it actually go for her? Well. I just […]

Seriously. I’ve never done this before. But, 2 weeks ago, I got an email like this in my inbox: “Hi Sarah, I am very interested in the seasonal meal plan but have a few things holding me back… 1. Last year I purchased a different meal plan I found on the internet and it was too restricting […]
