Oops, I meant to preview that last bit, not save! Anyway- my brain power isn't what it used to be. Over time, studying has taken more effort. But the current "Deborah", the child within me, has leaned toward a more well rounded and holistic approach for years. I envision a small house with large windows and plenty of sunlight. I envision a small kitchen where people are taught how to prepare their healthy super foods. I envision weekly group shopping trips to the public grocery stores, the nearby organic farms, and the local farmer's markets. I believe in rocking chairs, group motivation, and positive coaching.

I envision a true community of people who work in all areas of life, but believe in taking responsibility for their choices. I believe in Chi running, trail running, good friends, and trying to make a positive difference within the world. I believe in the ancient motto "Let food be your medicine."

What an absolute beautiful morning. I can't wait to try and call the local holistic doctor Monday morning. I was going to meet with her for advice on detoxing appropriately, but now I think our visit will be much more meaningful. And Kate Whimster, what a delightful article! I hope to work part time with the local chiropractor, licensed massage therapist, physical therapist, and the local holistic doctor.

It may take me 15 years to finish this journey, but what a lovely yellow brick road I have chosen...................

I am so inspired by Kate Whimster. Her Business is pleasure blog was not only wonderful, it hit home. Who am I? What is my purpose? Which path do I choose?

My goal this morning was simply to put together a 'green' warrior smoothie. I am worried about being able to eat right with the new job starting in October. 3 of my meals or snacks must be eaten in the car. My one year plan was simply to get through the divorce and become financially independent. Of course, I have two children who also need lots of time and attention.

But what about my five year plan? I want to take care of myself properly, I adore naturopathic principles and ideals, I adore the individualized nutrition plan, and I love being in the kitchen.

Goodness sakes, why not try and become a naturopath doctor?
