Dear Whole Living, What Happened To This Site?

I’ve been a member of this site for well over a year and met some amazing people, read amazing stories, and learned so much valuable information. I used to love seeing the community member of the month in your magazine! Many of the people I met no longer contribute to this site as it has completely changed. I’m fortunate to keep in touch with them via email but it is such a shame that Whole Living has let this wonderful community become one giant advertisement. Every other blog is an…See More

Back On Track

These past few weeks have thrown for me a loop. It’s not as though a major incident occurred but there were so many little things that took me off my usual track. My sleep, exercise, and mostly my eating habits were affected and I’m really paying for it now.First, I’ve indulged a bit too much in sweets! I received a package from a co-worker in London that literally had about 30 candy bars. NO…..I didn’t eat them all! But I certainly had a good amount. My willpower has abandoned me lately! I’m…See More

Catherine Garcia commented on Tiffany Britton's blog post 'Tree Pose Wisdom'

"This is one of the main things I have taken away from yoga. I stopped comparing myself to others because it simply causes frustration. I do what I can and I'm happy with that. I'll continue to grow my practice but I've learned to…"

Why Can’t I Meditate?

When someone says the word meditation I feel like is summons up so many different thoughts and perceptions. Some picture people sitting with their legs folded and chanting while others picture someone surrounded by candles in a trancelike state. These are literally the answers I received when I asked people I know. For me, when I think of meditation, I think of an amazing activity I just can’t do. For someone with anxiety issues like me meditation can work wonders. It regulates breathing, calms…See More

Catherine Garcia commented on Christine Cronin's blog post 'My food does not need a passport'

"Hi Christine, I can completely relate. This is my second year with a garden and there is absolutely nothing like the taste of a fruit, vegetable, or herb that you pick from your garden. Whatever we can’t grow I try to get from a local farm so…"

Catherine Garcia commented on Tiffany Britton's blog post 'Food Marketing to Kids'

"OK you scared me at first because I buy this for my kids! Once I read on I calmed down a bit :-) This really is a pretty good product as it’s only real fruit, no citric acid, and non-gmo. I wish it was organic but it’s not. I…"

Catherine Garcia commented on Tiffany Britton's blog post 'Do You. Do Good.'

"That is fantastic advice! This is often how I approach my yoga practice. If I approached it with the attitude that I "should" be doing it a certain way by now then I would feel like a failure. I do the best I can with my abilities and…"

Reading About Yourself

I had the amazing opportunity to be featured in an article in Natural Health magazine. Being mentioned by name in a magazine article and being able to share my story is extremely exciting to me but it is so much more than that. For years I have struggled with General Anxiety Disorder and at times it feels like it consumes my whole life. It is unbelievably frustrating and sometimes I feel like people think I’m crazy and don’t understand why I can’t just “get over it”. Trust me, anyone with…See More

Dinner: Garden to Plate

I’ve posted a few blogs about my garden this summer and my family continues to enjoy eating dinner that consists of as many items from the garden as possible. This week we decided to have grilled chicken salads for dinner one night and we wanted to see how much of the food from the garden we could add to the salad. It was amazing! I have mesclun and arugula growing which was the base of our salads. I added yellow pear, black cherry, and red cherry tomatoes…all of which taste like candy because…See More

Loving The Skin You Are In

From as far back as I can remember I always found flaws with my body. It was acne, a small chest, the cellulite I had, etc. It was literally always something. I remember going through a time in college where I broke out so bad I hated leaving the house. I hated wearing a bathing suit in front of anyone. I always compared myself to others. That is just a few things.Now, my body has gone through two pregnancies and two years of breast feeding. To say the least, I’m far from perfect :-) I’m thin…See More

Catherine Garcia commented on Tiffany Britton's blog post 'Filtering Messages'

Catherine Garcia commented on Tiffany Britton's blog post 'Take A Stand For the Real Issue'

"I live in New England and I heard about the controversy. I personally find it ridiculous that people decided to support the CEO’s comments by eating chicken sandwiches from this chain. That doesn’t prove a point in my opinion. Fast food…"

At 2:54am on August 30, 2012, Lea said…: Greetings from the Tampa Bay :) My name is Lea, and I am the author of the Mother Baby Child Blog - http://motherbabychildblog.com. I started this blog to share my experience in having a baby just before my 1st son was about to turn 18 years old, as well as what life is like as a married mom after being single for so many years. I also blog about Christianity, baby and child stages, homeschooling, ADHD, Autism, Blog Marketing, etc. I share a lot on that blog during the non-summer seasons.

I also have a new healthy lifestyle and 90 day weight loss challenge blog - http://www.loseweightgethealthyfeelgreat.com - to accompany my Skinny Body business. I am working hard to complete the design of this new blog, so that I can provide valuable health and linformation, as well as my experience with our 90 day weight loss challenge. I gained quite a bit with this last baby, so I am struggling along with it. The plus is that we have gone all natural / organic foods and started an organic garden. It's lots of fun for the family, plus it's awesome to provide the children with food that I know is pesticide free.

I invite you to explore my blogs and provide your feedback.

Now that my baby is older, I have more time to meet more people that are genuinely interested in being as healthy as they can be. I am really excited about this!

I look forward to networking with you :)

Hugs & Blessings!

I agree that all of the sedentary time that children (and adults) experience these days is detrimental to our health. Thankfully, there are like minds through this Whole Living blogging community. If each one of us makes a commitment to living more mindfully, hopefully our examples will help change the way we all live. Thanks so much again, Catherine -- Take care.

I have suffered for over 25 years and I tried all the natural remedies and some did work but it was short term it wasn't until I made a commitment to help myself . Take it one day at a time nothing is more important than your health.

At 10:13am on October 5, 2011, Rachel Packer said…: Catherine...glad you enjoyed the post. Sometimes we just get so wrapped up in the drama in our lives that we don't have the time to just sit and appreciate. Now, Yom Kippur is around the corner and the goal of that holiday is to say you're sorry to those you have wronged...hmm....another goal I probably should start a lot earlier on in the year.
