The 6 Basic Categories of Needs
August, 2023
Which needs are most important to you? What could you just not live without? For most of us we would begin with needs for survival: food and drink, clothing, shelter, good health, and safety. Tony Robbins calls this category of needs CERTAINTY. Then he adds five more: variety, significance, love and connection, growth, and contribution. VARIETY has to do with the need to be stimulated, vs being bored. SIGNIFICANCE relates to how you are special and needing to be valued. The depth of your relationships has to do with LOVE and CONNECTION. GROWTH emotionally, spiritually, socially and intellectually is still necessary once you become an adult. And here's hoping that each of you have found just the right way for you to make a CONTRIBUTION to society. What are your first 3 categories of needs? Have you found a way to find a balance with all 6?

Why a Gluten-Free Lifestyle?
August, 2023
Caring for a dying loved-one for a year created a health crisis for me more than 30 years ago.
​
When diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, I began research to find ways to heal. Eating a gluten-free diet was very helpful in restoring my energy, getting rid of toxins and improving my immune system. As a result, I was able to return to school and obtain my Masters and Speciality while working full time as a teacher!
