Yesterday afternoon we went to pebble beach to find perfect, smooth rocks for hot rocks yoga this morning. Yeah, HOT ROCKS YOGA, doesn't that sound divine. :) #radicalselfcare #monheganisland #nourishingthesenses (at Monhegan Wellness)

People ask all the time how I get 11 veggies a day, here's how ☺️ Sauté a little grass fed beef or chicken with 11 oz organic spinach, 1 lb green bean, 1 lb mushroom, &bamboo shoots. I love Asian flavors, so spice this up with lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chili paste and Braggs aminos (soy sauce). How do you get your veg? #11veggiesadayforhealthandvitality (at Monhegan Wellness)

These buoys were tied to the Matinicus dock, the tide went out and the buoys naturally formed this heart. #loveisallaround #natureisamazing

Boat snacks! I'm heading out today to join SeaCoast Missions on their monthly visits to Matinicus, Frenchboro, and Isle au Haut. I'll be teaching fellow islanders my number one tip for health & wellness, #11veggiesadayforhealthandvitality This will be my first visit to both Matinicus and Frenchboro, it's always fun to meet fellow islanders and share tips on how to stay healthy despite living far from shore. :) (at Monhegan Wellness)

Here is one of my favorite outdoor yoga spots. Great view, close to the ocean and out of the wind. This is just one of the beautiful places you will practice yoga when you join me for a retreat this summer. If you have never practiced outside before, you may want to read my blog post 4 Reasons I Practice Yoga Outdoors http://monheganwellness.com/4-reasons-to-start-your-outdoor-yoga-practice-today/ #yogaoutdoorsisthebest #monheganelevates #Monhegan (at Monhegan Wellness)

The last few years since the closing of Carina Grocery, have been incredibly challenging and often I have considered the possibility of having to leave Monhegan in order to make a living. (If my husband, who I like an awful lot didn't live here I probably would have left already) But just when I'm ready to pack up and go, I crack open a bottle of Honest Tea and receive a sign from the universe that gives me the courage to keep trying. :) #followingyourheartisalwaysright #followingyourheartdoesntmeanitwillbeeasy #monheganlifeispriceless #bloomwhereyouareplanted
