Growing Up Without An iPhone

Youth between the ages of 15-18 spend an average 7 1/2 hours in front of a screen using entertainment media (4 1/2 hours of that is in front of a TV)! This statistic from the CDC got me thinking about my youth and how I spent my time. I didn’t have a computer until I was 23 and didn’t own a cell phone until I was 29! Now I have Google Maps and was able to map out some of my old routes to see how much I walked as a kid.

Your Habits Become Your Posture

“Watch your habits, as they become your posture.

Watch your posture, for it creates your boundaries.

Watch your boundaries, for they restrict your growth.

Watch your restrictions, for they create immobility.

Watch your immobility, for it becomes your illness.”- Katy Bowman

Are You A Half Asser?

I sleep in the closet. Or, as my husband puts it, “It’s like you sleep in a fricken altar.” I sleep on a 6 inch thick wool futon that sits on the floor surrounded by candles and soft amber lights. I started sleeping in the closet when my... READ MORE
