Finding trust in yourself lights up the dark hallways. We are fearful when we think the answers are outside of our self.

Too Much Sugar May Be Worse for Your Heart Than High Cholesterol, Study Finds

A large-scale 15-year study published in JAMA Internal Medicine has revealed that consuming high amounts of added sugar dramatically raises the risk of dying from heart disease—even for people who aren’t overweight.

Researchers found that individuals who got 25% or more of their daily calories from added sugar were over twice as likely to die from heart-related conditions compared to those who consumed less than 10%. This heightened risk was consistent regardless of weight, age, s*x, physical activity level, or cholesterol readings.

The primary source of added sugar? Sugar-sweetened beverages—including sodas and fruit drinks—which make up more than one-third of the added sugar in the average American diet. Other major contributors include desserts, candy, and sweetened cereals.

Scientists believe excess sugar may elevate blood pressure and cause the liver to release harmful fats into the bloodstream—both key contributors to cardiovascular disease.

The American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugar to 6 teaspoons (100 calories) per day for women and 9 teaspoons (150 calories) for men. But just one can of soda can hit—or exceed—those limits.

Experts suggest making small, sustainable swaps: opt for fruit-infused sparkling water instead of soda, and reach for naturally sweet options like whole fruit to reduce your risk of heart disease.

Laura told me a month or so ago to come to her dinner event to conclude her first ever retreat.

Then, a few weeks later, she asked if I was coming. I adamantly said yes as I was under the impression attendance was mandatory. I was honored she wanted me there. I was excited to be part of her energy and event.

You see, Laura is lots of fun in a very intentional, connected and grounded way. I always walk away feeling like my soul is renewed. So yes was the only answer!

Sometimes we agree to things without knowing the impact that will follow and are pleasantly surprised by the ripple effect that lands.

It was a 3 day event so I can only imagine what those that were for more than a few hours felt. I was met with warm, open, connected soulo-entrepreneurs. All were open to learning about me and seeing how their impact could help. How much better would the world be if we all moved this way daily?

I connected with some old friends and made some new ones. My heart was open and alive with possibilities.

It took a few days to integrate all these feelings. The warmth, the newness and the expanded energy within that now has to fit back into the world left. We are changed in ways that is not quite comfortable yet.

Not to mention Saturn retrograding this week, reminding us, we can’t wear anymore masks! Woah! 🤯

I wish you more feelings of expansion. Get out of your comfort zone, connect in ways that feel uncomfortable. It could just light your world on fire in the best way possible! ❤️

We woke up to a snow storm today and many are over it, as the calendar marked the Spring Equinox just last week.

I get sentimental about snow storms.

The nostalgia from grade school where everything stopped and the fun began.

We don’t get to do that much as adults~ responsibilities and jobs don’t pause with the weather. But on a Saturday, I get more flexibility.

I begrudgingly took the dogs out for their trail romp and watched them light up, racing around in the woods as their playground. I couldn’t help but laugh watching their joy and enjoy the moment, too. I melted into the quiet around me and felt connected to the earth.

The snow is still falling now, almost evening time, and looks like a snow globe as it floats at the perfect pace out the window.

I am leaning into mother nature’s message. We have the eclipse, two retrogrades and a snow storm. It seems only fitting that we slow down and introspect.

What is the message? What is meant to come up and be explored, healed, released? I am learning the eclipse is in charge whether we want it or not. So I’m letting nature guide me and releasing what no longer serves. Sitting in stillness, grounding with my puppies and connecting with the energy of the cards. 🔮

What is coming up for you? What needs to be transmuted? Enjoy your day however best serves you. 💫

This past week in Maine has brought us a triple scoop of winter storms.

❄️ One of my favorite things about Maine is the ability to appreciate the winter, to get out in nature, enjoy a winter sport, hike with my pups.

This week has delivered perfect powder or perfect “snowman snow”. Getting out after a storm is a special gift.

I enjoy the serenity of being among the trees and soft snow below my feet, barely touched by anyone else yet. Possibly passing by other brave souls, connected in our affection for the beauty around us.

I appreciate it all as the sun filters in and the dogs run through the mounds, exuding pure happiness in their bodies.

There’s very little movement outside of the puppies running. Other animals and plants are also enjoying the stillness, hiding or keeping warm, deep below the earth.

I can hear myself think. I am grounded and calm as I take in what’s around me, discharge what I don’t need.

So often we move so quickly from responsibility to responsibility, buzzing along with our phones, forgetting to breathe and forgetting to be in the moment. We stress our bodies out and create illness within.

If you can do one thing to slow it all down, let your body align with nature and feel the clarity take hold within .

Always love seeing these two faces and especially excited when it’s a surprise visit to Portland!

Life ebbs and flows and while she was a teeny tiny cousin when I was a kid, now she’s full grown with a babe of her own! It’s a special kind of connection to be friends with the ones we also call family.
Glad you two got to get away and have some adult time. My absolute pleasure that I could see you both! Cheers!

Enjoying the perfect summer evening, the Kennebec river in Bath and first time at !!

Working the 3rd shift is something I’ve done sporadically and never quite get used to it.
Getting a little treat beforehand and some very good support from coworkers can make everything doable!
