As 2020 winds down, I’m sure we are all having lots of feelings about this past year. I won’t sugar coat it — I’m looking forward to putting this year behind us.

Here’s To/Two Good Things in 2019

Acupuncture and Vitalibis

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope your 2019 is off to a great and positive start. One observation I have made is that there’s a lot of pressure in January to get everything going and get everything on track. And that, frankly, can overwhelm me. So I think February might be the new January for me, just sayin’! 🙂 I do hope you listened to my intentions, my goals and my vision for the new year on my “Nina’s Got Good News” podcast #26. Hopefully, it helps you think about your own journey and what lies ahead for you too.

Q&A with Jeff Clarke: His Wellness Journey

wellness journey

Although summer has come to an end, I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful, hot months with friends and family!

We had lots of beach time and lots of quality family time, but now we are ready for the school year to start (as I’m sure many of you are too).

Throughout the summer, people have been asking me and my husband how he is losing weight, and what exactly he is doing. He really does look so great, and I could not be prouder of him. That was the main reason for this blog post—to share his success, and to share what is working for him.

I hope this helps others on their own journey. Cheers!
