Need A Motivational Boost?

Do you need a gentle "kick in the pants" to stay in control of holiday eating?  I've blogged about the 21-Day Vegan Kickstart in the past, which will start up again after Jan 1. But what about NOW -- with the Thanksgiving and Christmas season looming ahead? If you want to avoid the typical weight gain of 5 to 10 holiday pounds, why not join a group of like-minded and similarly motivated people.


Dr. Joel Furhman, food guru extraordinaire, has a Holiday Challenge going on. Why not check it out and join? You'll get the lasting benefit of journeying through the holiday season without gorging yourself, without gaining weight, but he's also offering (drum roll) PRIZES! Can anyone say, Florida!?

Check out his website here, and take some time to explore the uber-valuable information on his site, including podcasts and books. Two if Dr. Fuhrman's books are on my Christmas wishlist, for sure!

Here's to the beginning of a plant-strong, healthy holiday season!

Ashland "Local Roots" Firmly Planted!

Local Roots in Ashland...You are sooo welcome here! Finally! We have year-round access to fresh, local goods, including fresh produce, honey and syrup, breads and more. Local Roots just opened about a month ago in a warehouse space in downtown Ashland, and I've been every Saturday so far, with one or both of my daughters in tow.


Go ahead and support our local producers, and sign up, volunteer, and most importantly BUY!
