How to do more of what you love

February 16, 2018 By Karen Main 2 Comments

Inspire

I live near the top of a mountain ridge, and the drive to my house is up a 3km long steep and windy road.  For the past year I’ve been wanting to walk down this road and then back up. Why? To challenge myself. To see how long it would take. Because I can. So […]

Why balance is the key to health and happiness

February 17, 2017 By Karen Main Leave a Comment

Balance

I’ve been thinking a lot about balance recently, the tipping point between too much and not enough. I’m noticing that a healthy, happy life requires balance in all areas. Enough rest to restore and enough movement to maintain vitality. A diverse mix of clean food to nourish and enough treats to add fun and avoid cravings. Saving habits […]

The Winter chill most evident, In the shadow of the trees. I wrapped my arms around, An attempt to block the cold. Heading for the park bench, To […]

How can it be, I am busy all day? So much still to do, No time left for play. There was this, Then there was that. Another frantic work day, In actual fact. I was in the car, Then out the door. Back home again To mop the floor. Off to school now, then straight back home. A […]

February 25, 2014 By Karen Main 10 Comments

Flowers
