May 2026 Blog Mother Yourself and Remember Others
The month of May marks the special month that in the fact that we celebrate mothers and we also chose to remember those on Memorial Day. At The Center of Balance, LLC, we have and are the 2 Certified Coaches, one who can assist you through either Hypnosis and/or one who can assist you through Therapeutic Arts. We are available to help you let go and learn to celebrate yourself. You need to believe in the worthiness of you and who you are.
I think choosing to let go of things that do not honor us is a means of mothering ourselves. Also, a big part of mothering ourselves is embracing our worthiness. We are all worthy of love, happiness, joy, and so much more. In today’s world that concept sometimes gets lost in the craziness of the mainstream world.
Other ways to mother ourselves is to surround ourselves with daily habits that help us to live a healthier and happier life. For example, we all have the ability to practice self-care, through various ways. These ways can include dealing with the stress that has become a regular part of our life. Another way to mother ourselves is making self-care a real priority within our lives…like Foot or Body Reflexology or Reiki treatments, Salting, Ionic Detoxing Foot Baths, Essential Oils Raindrop treatments is another way of changing how we think about ourselves. Whatever way we choose to take care of ourselves and our bodies is a perfect means of self-care. Meditating is another form of Self-Care, it changes us in unique ways, helps us to think outside of the box in a healthy way. I challenge you to choose you, to mother yourself in any way that makes your heart sing. Letting go of what does not serve you is the best way to mother yourself.
Once known as “Decoration Day” Memorial Day is truly special because it was created to honor those in the military that have paid the ultimate sacrifice, with their life, for us to have our freedom. We honor those through Graveside decorating , and other traditions, such as parades, family gatherings, barbecues, because it is also recognized as the unofficial start of summer.
So for this month of May, I challenge you to share LOVE with yourself, to honor and mother yourself, and also remember to honor those who gave their lives in the ultimate sacrifice, for us to have the ability to get to live the life we live.
Blessings, Light and Love!

April 2026 Blog Choose To Bloom When You Are Planted
April marks the beginning of Spring, but it is also a month of many holidays. It is the month where some choose to celebrate Easter. It is also Stress Awareness Month, Earth Month, Alcohol Awareness Month, and Autism Acceptance month, just to name a few. At The Center of Balance, LLC, we have and are the 2 Certified Stress Consultants on staff. We believe in the energy of the earth and the benefits of grounding and the vibration of the earth’s stones and crystals. We also believe in the benefits of letting go of things that are not good for us, like alcohol. It is very toxic to our body and the systems within our bodies.
I think choosing to bloom when you are planted means to me that it is a time to put down roots, roots based on taking up and making a commitment on our parts, and to challenge ourselves to a lot of thinking differently. It is to me becoming passionate about something and then sharing that passion, just like as flowers open up, we begin to bloom and share our blooming with others.
For example, we have the awareness that stress has become and is a regular part of our life. Once we find ways to deal with our stress that actually work, it should be automatically our nature to share our awareness of stress and the tips and tools for dealing with that stress that work for us, whether it be through breath work, art therapies such as coloring and such or meditations. Another example is the unique way that we are connected to Mother Earth. We need to embrace Mother Earth, not just from the standpoint of practicing “earthing” or “grounding”, but we must become passionate about and choose to become stewards of the earth also. Through respecting the earth, by recycling our trash, sharing that message, replanting of new trees to replace harvested trees, and making good decisions about the products we buy and use that might not be good for our earth. As we let go and choose to love ourselves, we can think about what we put into our bodies that are not good for us, like alcohol. Giving ourselves permission to grow by letting go of the things like alcohol, which are not good for us nor serve us in a healthy way. I challenge you to choose to let go of what does not serve you, to bloom and grow. Acceptance of things that make one different, regardless of if it is autism or some other type of issue (physical or mental), we can bloom when we become champions for someone that is in that type of journey or any type of journey…it is called empathy. It is acceptance and is not just about others, but it also about ourselves. When we love and accept ourselves, we can choose to love and accept others and finally to help others become more accepting and tolerant of others also.
So for this month of April, I challenge you to share this LOVE, your blooming, a new beginning, rising above and sharing of where your roots are planted. Remember, we really are all in this together, we are all human and we all can make a difference for someone, whether big or small, we can and we should.
Blessings, Light and Love!

March 2026 Blog Springing Forward
March is considered the beginning… of moving forward, the beginnings of spring, and also springing forward with Daylight Savings Time. According to an October article in “ALMANAC” by Catherine Boechmann, most Americans do not like this springing forward time change in the month of March nor the falling back time change in November because people’s bodies are run by their own internal clock and this time change can cause disruption for some.
So, March is the month that I think should be the month that we add the element of physical exercise, as physical activity can help to balance our internal clocks. January, we likened to be for exercising our minds and not our bodies as the media pushes everyone to get on the track of getting healthier and working out in the new year. For February we encouraged everyone to embrace themselves and ultimately to love themselves first. March should be the month to exercise ourselves both in a mental state and also in a physical state. Mentally, we might have to rethink how we feel about exercise. Is it a dirty word, something we want to avoid like the plague or is it something we know we need to do but are having a hard time keeping it going?
Just as loving ourselves requires commitment, physical exercise will really require commitment on our parts. From a mental standpoint not everyone likes to exercise, perhaps they are not physically able to exercise, or don’t have the money to sign up at a gym or just do not have enough hours in the day to commit to serious exercising. So first, let’s choose to think differently about what exercise can be. Get creative in your thoughts about your likes and dislikes of types of exercises. Also think of active ways to have fun that are not even considered exercise. When I was in the military, we had to run, run, run. I do not and have never liked to run dot period! But I have always enjoyed walking, so by thinking differently and then tweaking my walking, I can get as much benefit from walking instead of running, but maybe more because I enjoy it and would do it more often. Something as simple as speed walking, pattern walking which is walking some and adding short exercise stops, like simple lunges, jumping jacks, leg raises, and anything else that can be added to the movement of walking. Afterall, exercise is about changing the dynamics of our bodies inside and outside, for health purposes.
I love to dance and that is like adding cardio to the exercise mix. Other fun things that you could add to your exercise is hiking, swimming, roller-skating, biking, a trampoline, even using a mini-rebounder, kayaking, waterskiing, and the list can go on. If it ups your heart rate, it makes you sweat even a little then it is something that you should consider trying. Think about what you consider fun from the long list of active-type activities that you can just try, to see if they resonate with you then try to commit to doing these maybe once, twice, or three times per week.
When you decide to spring into action activities, first mentally decide on what you enjoy, then make a plan for yourself and finally set or have a goal for yourself. But spring forward slowly and be realistic in your goals. Do not set yourself up for failure because you are unrealistic, what you want to accomplish and set yourself up to lose. That can even cause you to lose your commitment, because we all know that life just happens to take over sometimes. Embrace the fun first, remember that any movement and action in your life is better than no action.
As we let go and choose to love ourselves, we also give permission to ourselves to spring into growth, happier because we love ourselves enough, enough to choose to help ourselves become healthier.

Blessings, Light and Love!

February 2026 Blog Love Is in The Air
February is commonly known as the month of LOVE! Some of us are planning to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a loved one, some of us are looking for someone to love and some of us are wanting to love ourselves more, Realistically, we probably have no idea how to make the last two mentioned things happen. My thought is that February should be the month to exercise our brain, through embracing who we are, where we are currently are in our journey and looking towards changing those things that we don’t like or want. Our minds are extremely capable of rewiring and resetting our brains to think differently about ourselves.
It does require commitment on our parts, and a lot of thinking differently, taking off our rose-colored glasses and investing in some serious self-assessment and self-talk. I like to call this mirror time.
Start by looking into a mirror. Really look deep, start at you top of your head and look at every little part of yourself. You can do this any way you choose, all natural or not. It is your journey. As you look at each part of yourself, decide it is time to love that part of yourself, yes, each part of yourself, just as you currently are. Accept yourself and what you look like and more importantly, accept your flaws just as you perceive and see them. Breathe deep and give yourself permission to like yourself, even if you want to change yourself in the future, but for now you just accept you for you. Tell yourself what you like about each part of you. If you are like me, I know I get very caught up in my perceived flaws and see it as my weakness. But I still make a conscious decision, and I self-speak it out loud into the universe. Sometimes I even pen it onto paper, as that can facilitate a deeper acceptance of the information. It is in the times of our perceived weakness that we can gain with real clarity and an understanding of our need for self-love.
When you have embraced yourself and are somewhat comfortable with how you perceive you look, it is time to take it to the next level. Self-love is also about communicating with your soul. Don’t just give yourself the usual self-talk or lip-service but really think about what you are communicating to yourself. You can tell yourself whatever message it is that you think you need and then just say it. But the key that will unlock self-love is that you need to really believe it, mean it when you say it and own it! That sounds so easy, huh! NOT. Now let me just say that I have been doing this for years, but I just never really believed it or meant it. Then one day, I decided to really, really look at myself and mean what I was telling myself. It just clicked and I had that “Ahha” moment. But that moment just fluttered away like a lightening bug at dusk. So I know that in order to move onward in my life journey, I must work on this every day. Because I believe that through loving myself, I will truly find love again: self-love that is. I know and believe that only by loving myself, I will be able to fully love others.
Another unique way to truly love yourself is known as “earthing”, which is also known as grounding. According to NIH’s National Library of Medicine: Grounding or the connection of the human body to the earth’s surface produces many continuing benefits to you. Standing outside with bare feet or hands touching the earth can ground you. You can also ground in other ways, such as in using a grounding mat to sit on or sleep on, which is connected to a grounded wall outlet, In Reflexology we ground you during treatments with a magnetic spoon. Grounding can also be done through breathing techniques, meditating, and even tapping. Grounding is likened to be like a body reset, such as reduced inflammation, pain and stress, improved sleep, tissue and cell repair, blood flow and electrical activity in the brain.
As we let go and choose to love ourselves, we give permission to ourselves to grow. I challenge you to stand in front of that mirror to embrace you, the real you, the you that you don’t love. Giving yourself that love will allow you to give that love to others.
Blessings, Light and Love!

January 2026 Blog A New You
First day of January…Everyone wants to know what your New Year’s Resolutions were or are…Maybe you did not make any resolutions, because you know you will always break them. Maybe you made the same ones you make every year and then you usually only last for about a week, or if you are really on top of it, maybe a month. Every New Years, a lot of us set ourselves up with (almost impossible to meet or maintain) goals. January has always been thought of as the month to get healthy, the mantra is exercise, exercise, exercise. We are bombarded with new exercise tools, clothes, and promises of if we buy this book or that plan, we can be successful at our goals (get healthier, loose weight, gain weight, walk more, run more, workout more, etc.).
I think instead, we should use January to first “exercise” our minds, to rewire and reset our brains to go from a negative mindset to a positive mindset. Embracing positivity (being a glass half full vs a glass half empty) allows for all other things or the minutia to fall into place.
One way to reset our mind is through different exercises that can ultimately change the patterns of our thoughts. For example, there is the art activity (I call it mindfulness on steroids) which is called “Neurographics”. Developed by Russian Pavel Piskarev, Neurographics is based on neuroplastity and is considered to facilitate the art of positive change. It helps you to process negative emotions, fear, anger, and insecurity to transform them into self-love, self-worth, intention setting, and helps to transform thoughts into reality (through the use of an algorithm which distinguishes it from other art therapy methods) of what is hidden in the sub-conscious mind through releasing inner constraints. I recommend doing it for 21 days, it changes how we think. If you are close to us, come to one of our Neurographics classes. Another way to honor your mental side is through a session of Coaching, with Hypnosis or Theraputic Arts and finally, a session of Reiki, the healing energies know exactly what you need.
After you reset your brain, you can begin to think about honoring your body by making your health your priority. Treat yourself to holistic treatments, like our Salt Booth, so needed for clearing your respiratory system and super great for your skin. Come by and do an Ionic Foot Bath to help draw toxins from your body, it is really great for headaches/migraines. Get some fabulous body treatments like Full Body or Foot Reflexology, an Essential Oils Raindrop treatment utilizing the healing properties of 9 different Young Living Oils or try our Auriculotherapy (aka Ear Seeding) for a treatment in which you are the one in control of your treatment and finally try our very own Red Light Therapy treatments, which is great for so many medical issues.
I challenge you to give into becoming the “New You” by taking it easy on yourself this January…start with your mind reset, then begin to work on the body makeover, go it slow, be honest with yourself and honor where you are in your healing journey at this given time and just embrace and love yourself.
Blessings, Light and Love!

December 2025 Blog Tis The Season
Tis The Season, we have all heard it…We begin to hear it starting in November but mostly in December. What does it mean? What is the “season”? What does the “season” mean for you personally? Is it the same for everyone? What is the “season’s” purpose?
The “season” is different for everyone…for me, the season is the ending of the current year but also the getting ready for the new year. It is about taking stock of me, who I have been throughout this last year and who I currently am. It is a season of sharing, sharing of myself, of my gifts, also not only embracing my holistic sides but also my spiritual sides. It is the bringing into the light those two sides and then sharing those gifts I have been blessed with.
It is the breathing in of the joy and magic of the season of Christmas. It is also another year around the sun. It is being in awe of the starkness and beauty of Mother Earth as she prepares to embrace us and share winter with us. It is about letting go of the current year and beginning to plan and prepare for the raising of my vibration, using all the holistic and health lessons and God given gifts that I have received from the past. Finally, for me, it is the sharing of and being of LOVE. Bettering of myself and making a difference in this piece of my world for others.
Only you can determine what your “season” is and what it means to you.
I would challenge you to give “Tis The Season” some deep, deep thought…I believe we each have a gift that we have been given. Some of us know what our gifts are and what we are to do with them and some of us do not know their gift or what they should be doing…Some of us know our gifts but are afraid to embrace them… I challenge you to think about what makes your heart sing, because I believe that is a hugh part of our gift. I also believe because it is a gift, it should be given away and shared with others. We are coming into the beginning of the new year, with a new mindset, new goals for bettering ourselves in the coming year. Maybe get healthier, loose weight or gain weight, eat cleaner, take care of our aging bodies, be happier, help others, maybe volunteer, and just share our joy and our light not only with others, but also with ourselves. We need to be kinder to ourselves, love ourselves first, then we can love others. The list for us can go on and on. “Tis The Season” is our gift to do a reset of ourselves, do better, be better, believe, and embrace and share in life.
Do not be afraid…open yourself up, take a chance, decide on the meaning of your “season” and what it will be for you. Share your joy, share your heart song and embrace the upcoming new year!
Blessings, Light and Love!
