Speak Truth to "Em-Power"

What is wellness really about? What you eat? How you live? Really, it is about truth. We read, we ask, we try and we we fail, and taken together, we develop an understanding of what works for our body-mind-spirit connection…and that is the path of wellness.

And yet the truth can be a tricky pursuit, especially when one is not really motivated to find it. Look at what is raging around us; this reductive debate in our society about what is real versus fake. Fact versus fiction. That all seems to be more about hiding than finding, doesn ’t it? Luckily, we are on a different path here, but it is potentially as tricky. Why? Well, what do you do once you have the facts, once you know what is right and wrong and what makes sense? How you apply what you know: That is your truth. And that is the key to wellness. If you live what you know to be true—in all ways big and small— you are better for it. That’ s the only difference between those we elevate as gurus and ourselves: how much of the truth we decide to live. After all, sometimes it is easier to ignore or avoid what we know—ignorance can be bliss for some.

Together we can find the facts of how to motivate our wellness journey.
