Give Me Chocolate! Now!

by Leisa on August 22, 2013

I LOVE chocolate – it is one of my favourite foods – but not the store bought variety full of dairy and sugar. Give me real cacao any day! Sometimes, when I don’t have any Sacred Chocolate on hand, or haven’t made any home-made chocolates myself and I have a craving for some choccy, I

For many people, supplements are viewed as a “cure all” for their ailments.  The take glucosamine for their arthritis, calcium supplements for their osteoporosis, and fish oil for their cardiovascular system. But I feel that somewhere along the way they have been misinformed as to what supplements are for, and when they are the most effective.

by Leisa on August 7, 2013

Feeling grateful is such an empowering emotion, yet quite often it is one that doesn’t always come to mind naturally, unless we take the time to sit down and think about what we are grateful for. When we actually do that, we can find hundreds of things to be grateful for, and suddenly our seemingly
