Sesame Street Brought To You By Corporate America
Filed Under Chiropractic Care | 1 Comment
Like so many people who grew up in the 70s and 80s, some of my fondest and strongest memories of childhood surround watching Sesame Street. I trusted it. It was safe.
So how crazy is it that a show which preaches eating healthy food is now sponsored by McDonalds! Its viewers are forced to watch the ads, as they start the show off with a 30 second clip with Muppets before rolling through a series of advertisements.
What are the ads?
1) Sandals resorts- This I have no problem with.
2) McDonalds- Remember in Supersize me when they talk about Ronald McDonald and his effect on kids?
3) A website that gives you information about your kids Asthma.
4) An organic food company pitching organic baby formula. (Thank goodness they have an organic sponsor).
We just picked up a DVD set called “Sesame Street Old School”, which shows episodes, songs and clips from way back in the day. It’s a very refreshing change, and reminds me of what made Sesame Street so unique. Instead of corporate sponsors, the show was famously brought to you today by the letter “R” and the number “7″. Instead it’s being brought to you by big pharma and the fast food industry.

Deserving Your Dreams
Filed Under Law of Attraction | Leave a Comment
I’ve been filling my days lately taking “inspired action” and as a result, incredible things have been happening to me. I came to realize I don’t have to work hard, be good enough, smart enough, or be anything enough to deserve my dreams. We all deserve our dreams because we are on planet Earth. It just takes asking for ease and joy, and then remembering your worthiness for all your dreams to come true.

Learning from our Experiences
Filed Under Law of Attraction | Leave a Comment
We learn so much from our experiences (good, bad or indifferent) if we choose to.
A while back someone was stealing from us and I remember being so hurt and angry when I found out. As a result of the experience, I started to surround myself with people who believed “there is always enough”, and “life is good”. What a blessing! Once I realized the blessing, I simply “gifted” what the person had taken (retroactively of course), and sent a powerful intention that she start to understand that “all you have to do is ask the Universe, and it will provide”. There is always enough money, enough love, enough work, and enough joy to go around. I thank her for teaching me that. There is nothing to forgive, it was a gift.
“When you realize what those who have wronged you have actually given to you – then you realize there is nothing to forgive.”

Low Carb the Downfall of Krispy Kreme?
Filed Under Chiropractic Care | Leave a Comment
I was recently on an elevator that had a TV screen broadcasting the daily news and goings on in the world. One story, which caught my eye, was that Krispy Kreme donuts were blaming the low-carb diet fad on it slumping sales over the past few years. Here’s my question: on what diet are donuts included? Were these people not eating at Krispy Kreme because of the high carb count? I bet if donuts had been low carb, people would have eaten there on the diet. Just like Subway had an Atkins wrap that included bacon!!!!

Pseudo Green
Filed Under Chiropractic Care | Leave a Comment
I’ve been thinking of this term for a while to describe the trend of things that are marketed suggesting health but in fact are not healthy. Trans fats are the most recent and perhaps widespread example, but marketing companies have been working for years to keep eating food that we don’t need and which we never get tired of eating. What are the green things that these pseudo green products are piggybacking on? Organic food, vegetarian, trans fats, and so on.
I recently passed a KFC restaurant and the sign outside told me that a meal was free of trans fats…Thank god!!! How ridiculous that a restaurant such as KFC can make a health claim, when the food itself is inherently Unhealthy!! At a recent talk to 80 people I asked how many people knew what trans fats were, and only a handful of people raised their hands. To be able to state that something is free of trans fats while being obscenely high in saturated fats. This is clearly a useless and misleading health claim if it can be used for inherently unhealthy food. Pseudo green.

Expanding Our Capacity to Receive
Filed Under In Our Opinion - Naturally Savvy Guides | 1 Comment
Jennifer, our Law of Attraction expert, recently sent me something that I wanted to share with everyone. I think many of us can appreciate these wise words of wisdom from her.
“We have to ask the Universe to expand our capacity to receive everything that awaits us (as opposed to freaking out because we want it all to slow down). Freaking out only attracts more “stuff” to freak out about.
Remember the mantra “It’s all good”, because it truly is.”
So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, read this blog and hopefully it will help to put things into perspective for you. It definitely helps me!

Health is a Choice
Filed Under Law of Attraction | Leave a Comment
Last night I had the opportunity to speak with my friend Bijan. One of the most important things he shared was that in any given moment, a billion cells die and a billion cells are born in our bodies. And for the billion cells that are born, they are created with the energy of our belief systems and attitudes. So, for every moment we are alive, we have the ability to create (and maintain) a new, healthy body because we can change our negative thoughts and attitudes to positive ones. He explained that disease is simply the absence of remembering that you are connected to all that is, and that you can create your life.
He went on to say that laughter and appreciation are the 2 best remedies for changing our thoughts and attitudes.

Think about it this way: “Whatever IS EXPECTED to go right will go right!”
What if you lived and acted from the perspective that everything is and will go right today? You have every reason to live a life filled with miracles and eternal optimism. Just expect it and it can happen.
