Tula's Secret
Tula is this little glass turtle that has sat on my desk for years, only being noticed when she was in the way of some papers or being nudged around by one of my cats.
But yesterday, as I was putting the finishing touches on a new program I'm offering .. this little turtle jumped out at me (don't worry about my mental health-- I'm speaking figuratively). Although you may question my sanity when I tell you that a few minutes later I was asking Chat for names that start with T so I could give this little turtle a cute name.
That's where Tula came from. Apparently it means Balance in Sanskrit. Perfect!
That's where Tula came from. Apparently it means Balance in Sanskrit. Perfect!After all these years of collecting dust - the newly named Tula became important. Why? Because the new focus of my old business (more on that later) is all about SLOWING DOWN. Yup .. that was the huge lesson I learned a few years ago. And I learned it in a very frustrated conversation with God.
It went something like this.... "God ... please tell me what (besides ALL the things I'm already doing!!) do I possibly need to do to get my health where I want it to be??? And yes, imagine all sorts of red headed frustration as I asked -- I was annoyed by a nagging symptom that came back after many years absence.
The answer that came to me was not a supplement or a diet change or even a detox. The answer that came to me was "Slow Down", which was hysterical at the time since I was hurriedly eating my lunch in between clients. 
That was when I realized that it didn't matter how well I ate or how faithfully I exercised, detoxed, rebounded, gua sha'd or whatever else ...IF I was running at warp speed, trying to do too much, not giving myself a chance to breathe or relax. If I didn't slow down there were going to be consequences .. in my health.
And there was this turtle .. sitting on my desk all these years while I did it ALL. Sitting there quietly waiting for me to realize that SHE KNEW THE ANSWER THE WHOLE TIME: Slow .. and Steady .. Wins the Race.
So last night I taught my first official class on Calming Cortisol (the get up and go hormone), and Tula was in my pocket the whole time. She is my new mascot and a great reminder for me to slow down.
She does have one more secret to let you in on and that's the unveiling of my new website, bringing me back to my original business name -which, if you've been around here long enough you might remember:
Green Life Wellness – www.greenlifewellness.com 
Green Life Wellness – www.greenlifewellness.com This is a place where I will be sharing resources, programs and tools for helping people on a mission learn how to slow down without falling behind. If you have a lot going on or still have goals you want to crush, but also don't want to sacrifice your health - greenlifewellness.com may be your favorite new hangout spot.
I've got good stuff coming including a free online intro class next week. Comment if you would like that invite.
And thanks for reading about Tula. She's pretty pumped to be the highlight of this post.
