Thank you for climbing your “big ol’ pregnant belly” up the mountain and for all the ways you support me and my work, Jen!
Thank you Kate (who I see has added some new necklaces to her shop)!!
And…a BIG thank you to all of you who read here and comment here and attend my events and helped to celebrate my two-year blog anniversary!
Namasté friends.
What a wonderful morning we had yesterday singing and dancing (and oh yes – sweating!) in service to the muse. If anyone would like to see some photos (taken by my wonderful husband, who also provided technical support for my slide show) you can view them on my facebook page. And now, per my usual, I’m sneaking in just “before the bell” in the last full week of August with the Two Year Blog Anniversary Giveaway I promised.

I didn’t actually climb this mountain — but I sure enjoyed photographing it.
When our family went to camp last year we played a game called “Climb the Mountain.” Everyone made a big circle and the camp director shouted out “Climb the mountain if you…drove more than four hours to get here…have never slept in a cabin before…love the color yellow…etc.”
If what was spoken applied, you ran into the center of the circle (climbed the mountain). And then ran back out. It was a quick and easy ice-breaker and it was a whole lot of FUN!
We can’t exactly play that here but in the interest of getting to know more about the wonderful people who visit here (more than 10,000 of you each month according to my latest stats!!!) I came up with my own blog version of the game. And to make it more interesting, there’s a great give-away to go with it!
All you have to do to play along is leave your comment(s) at the end of this post! (Oh and by the way, this game / giveaway is open to everyone, including my friends and family who seem to think that there are some sort of corporate rules that make them ineligible. Yeah. Not true.)
So here goes. Climb the Mountain (er…leave a comment) if…

Thank you again to J.Ricci Energy for this generous giveaway!
It is my great pleasure to share this Sponsor Giveaway featuring j.ricci energy.
As many of you know, Julianna is my Coach and Healer. (I wrote a little about our work together here.) She is also a Founder, Principal, and Corporate Sage at UPsidEo.
I am pleased to share this space with her and incredibly proud to call her my friend.

From j.ricci:
My name is Julianna Ricci. I am a Core Energy Coach and Healer.
Every great person has a coach; someone who holds their agenda and no other; someone who raises them up with no strings attached; someone who helps them tap into their best resources, their inner genius.
It is my passion to help inspired souls, in particular musicians and artists, move into this clarity. Past the distractions of their complex lives – and into a space where their muse can flow fully and directly.
I am deeply grateful for the gift of this work and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Things I love (by j.ricci):
I love the ocean. I love feeling centered. I love my children’s lips, giggles, soft skin, cheeks, chins, bums (okay, every part of them minus the fussing and whining – but I hope to learn to love that part too). I love connecting with people on a heart level. (I love this one a lot.) I love live music, or any good music. I love windsurfing and am learning to love surfing. I love hunting for beach glass and rocks. I love feeling tranquil. I love a good book and a cup of tea on a rainy day (as long as the house is quiet). I love campfires and waking up with the scent still in my hair. I love watching my children sleep. I love the smells and sounds of Spring, and the light and air of Fall. I love deep laughter. I love waking up with nothing to do that day. I love weekends with my girlfriends. I love my family. I love salty hair and fresh air. I love being in my passion, and being with others as they find and submerse themselves in their own passions.

Hannah’s Harvest: Health Counseling for Women and Families
Hannah Marcotti is a Health Counselor who received her training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, which focuses on integrating all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods.
{Hannah and daughter, Chloe.}
From Hannah’s Harvest:
I have always had a passion for health and food. Ingredients combine themselves in my head as I drive my son to preschool. Farmers’ Markets beckon me to fill my bags with pastured eggs and beautiful dark greens. Having friends over for dinner, wine and a gluten/dairy free dessert fills my stomach and soul.
Becoming a mother is such a transformation for a woman. It has taken me three kids to really feel grounded as a mother while still a woman with passion, interests and self-confidence. There were times I felt lost along the way and those times always coincided with eating foods that do not work for my body. I am thrilled to have found a career that allows me to work with other women and their families as they discover and reach their health goals.
You can follow Hannah’s inspiring blog here. You can also sign up for her free monthly newsletter on her website.
The Giveaway:
One lucky exhale. return to center. reader will receive two months of e-mail sessions with Holistic Health Counselor Hannah Marcotti and a recorded copy of her Holiday Resolution Teleclass.
More from Hannah’s Harvest:
Change your life starting with what goes into your body.
As your diet changes, your body changes and your happiness improves. Together, we will explore concerns specific to you and your body and discover the tools you need for a lifetime of balance.
You will…
We will look at your secondary food (what you eat) and also place an emphasis on primary food (spirituality, relationships, exercise and career). We will have two e-mail sessions per month for two months. You will start by filling out a health history form and listing your top two health or life goals or concerns.
What better time to focus on your health than the start of a new year?
