This was taken during a recent vacation to Alaska - the most beautiful, calm, serene, and BALANCED place I've been to recently.
I am a freelance writer and editor aiming to live a balanced, calm, and healthy life. I maintain a whole-body approach to my health and well-being. I embrace alternative and holistic medicine as a pathway to true health, which I define as the connection between mind and body. I consider myself an “All Natural Gal” because I like all things as close to nature as possible.
In my attempts to maintain balance, I regularly practice yoga, tai chi, and meditation. I also have been integrating Buddhist practices into my daily thoughts. Activities that I enjoy range from long walks with my dog, swimming laps in my pool, and cooking healthy vegetarian dinners to reading books and traveling.
Along with my husband, our Collie mix dog, and our three cats, I live in New Orleans, where balance requires extra maintenance…but I remain optimistic and never let setbacks thwart my attempts of desperately seeking balance.

I am really enjoying your blog. Your picture really makes me want to visit Alaska!
Hi Carrie – Congrats on your efforts to live naturally and healthy! Obviously, I think it’s very beneficial for your health and well-being
I hope my posts help you maintain your goal…stay tuned for more.
Thanks SuZen – I checked out your blog and we definitely have a lot in common. I’ll be following your posts! Hopefully, we can learn from each other
I look forward to reading more on your blog!! I am looking to learn more about living Natural and healthy
I don’t have any friends or family that eat healthy or even talk about natural products so I rely on talking with people online about natural health. It’s very hard when nobody around you is at all interested in natural health.
Interesting blog and we have a lot in common – will follow and hope you’ll come read my blog as well.
