I’m spending a couple days at Miraval Resort and Spa in Arizona to do research for a future column in body + soul magazine. I have to say this is one of the best perks I’ve ever received! Yesterday I did something called the Equine Experience. By working with horses you get insight into your personal and professional relationships. It was an amazing experience. One thing that stood out for me is that I always want to help out those who are struggling but sometime what I need to do is let people figure it out on their own. I always feel like it’s my responsibility to take care of and save those around me. I know it sounds a little deep but it made perfect sense. Tomorrow I’ll be trying some new activities like Aqua Zen, Thai massage and Holographic Memory Resolution. Has anyone ever done a Thai massage? I’m not sure what to expect.

I received my trial issue of Body + Soul this week, and I have to say I'm in love! I have found so much inspiration & helpful info - and I'm only thru the first few pages. I love that the writers (and you) acknowledge that we are all human. We won't make the healthiest choices 100% of the time. It just isn't feasible. But I love the constant reminder to be MINDFUL of what you are doing to your body. And the article about women's body image really struck a chord with me. I love the line about how we wouldn't talk so brutally to anyone else, yet we berate our own bodies. I'm going to try to be mindful of how I perceive my body from now on. It's mine & I've got to love it!
