"I've decided to leave the company."

Read MoreHere are some more of my favorite talks, but these are a little different. These inspirational messages are about standing up after you've fallen down, living your life to the fullest, changing your perspective, focusing on the positive and more.

These are definitely worth watching and shorter than your favorite sitcom. I truly hope you enjoy these talks as much as I have!

Read MoreAh yes, Vitamin L. The nutrient that our doctors never talk about, and yet so many people are deficient in. Never heard of Vitamin L? I'm talking about LOVE! Getting sufficient amounts of Vitamin L every day (not just on Valentine's Day!) is a crucial component to staying healthy and happy.
Read MoreMost people hit the snooze button a few times before rolling themselves out of bed and wishing they had a couple more hours of shut-eye. That wasn't me at 5:37am today. I bounced out of bed and couldn't wait to start my day.
Read MoreAbout a year ago, I experienced my first “high on life” experience after having transitioned into a raw food diet for a couple of weeks. I wanted to find a natural remedy to clear my skin and all of the wellness literature I found pointed me in the direction of raw foods.
A few days into my journey on raw, I found myself consistently feeling SO happy for no reason at all. You know that feeling you get when you’re in love? That’s how I felt after nourishing my body with raw foods. Sounds crazy, right?
