Wonderful E-Book by our Wellness Coach Partner!

If you’re a college-aged woman who is feeling lack of self-esteem about your looks and weight, frustrated with trying to find a diet and exercise program that fits your busy lifestyle, discouraged about the lack of healthy options at the school cafeteria, think that money holds you back from investing in your own health and wellness, then you need to check out the 8-Weeks To Wellness System For College Women!

Find Out How You Can Get Your Health Habits Program Working For You – and NOT The Other Way Around

“8-Weeks To Wellness” Will Teach You:

Steps to build your confidence, take control of your weight, and set your own pace, preferences and priorities around healthy options.

The proven formula to achieving the lasting change you are looking for when it comes to your body, mind and self-image.

The step-by-step guide to calm confidence in living your best self now and way after graduation.

What all the diets, books, programs and pills do NOT tell you and what you need to know now.

The reason why buying other people’s “health” programs and products don’t help you take control in creating your own well-being

8-Weeks to Wellness has its origins in a true story of the successful weight loss of a 21-year old, written 27-years later by the same author, coach, and mother who has dedicated her career to helping others create a better life through healthy habits.

She has helped dozens of clients tap into their innate desire to be well, to create a life designed around what matters most, and to teaching others how to use a proven system to create the foundation of the “greater you”.

Follow The Flock With eNature’s Spring Migration Tracker

Use eNature.com’s Migration Tracker to follow our returning spring birds week by week as they head north to their summer breeding grounds.  You can find and follow the birds whose summer homes are in town as well as those “just passing through” as they fly further north.

We often take for granted the remarkable annual ritual of bird migration. One morning, the bushes and trees around you are suddenly filled with singing birds that were not there just the day before.  But there’s an incredible story in their long, often hazardous journeys.

Go to learn more about this amazing journey and determine the whereabouts of your favorite species.

eNature.com has extensive birding resources for novices and experts alike.

Latest Tripadvisor Review: “Best Location for a Retreat Ever!”

Date of review: Mar 15, 2011

I’ve run numerous small (5-15 participants) writing retreats at various inns and hotels around the country. My most recent 3-day event at the Highland Lake Inn was exceptional, fulfilling the expectations of a “retreat” in every way. The accommodations were luxurious yet homey. Each room was spacious and spotless, repleat with fluffy bedding, TV sets, lovely amenities, and comfortable working spaces. We felt pampered from the first sip of delicious coffee in the morning to the incredible dinner our hosts invited us to share with them in the evening. Equally important, the Highland Lake Inn afforded our writing group the privacy and space we needed to meet and/or write individually. Last, but hardly least, our hosts Pecco and Gail were fantastic! This is where I intend to host many more writing retreats in the future!
