With the New Year quickly approaching…like how is it already here?!?…I have been thinking a ton about resolutions, intentions for the New Year and my goals for 2021.

Next week I’ll chat all things resolutions, intentions, and goals but today I wanted to expand upon my blog post from last week and discuss more about what we want to leave behind.

Sure 2020 sucked for a lot of people… in a ton of different ways.

Instead of focusing on how negative and awful the year was and bringing that negative energy and low vibe living into 2021 let’s take a deep breathe, shake it off, and move forward with love & light.

Somethings will never be the same after 2020, however instead of focusing on the negativity and the sadness I’d like to encourage you to dig deep and find some faith.

Faith in yourself to rise up, despite the setbacks and the hardships, and take ownership for your life again.

Yes COVID-19 is still here - and that is something we are unfortunately bringing into 2021 - however we can still find small ways to take ownership for our lives again…even if you are unable to leave the house.

Start small by setting up a morning routine or creating healthy habits that you can do each and every day to lift your vibrational energy.

Going for a walk, painting, reading or any form of self care can help to lift your energetic vibration…find something that works for you.

If we continue to focus on the negative, there will be more negative around us - that’s a true fact. The same is true if we focus on the positive, there will be more positivity around us.

There was enough negative in 2020, I’m choosing to acknowledge all of it but leave the negativity behind. I am choosing to move into the New Year with love and light. The more positivity I see, and the more positive energy I bring into this world, the more positivity I will receive back. Energy is all an exchange.

What would you like to receive?

Eating out and healthy don’t typically go hand in hand. In fact, I have worksheets and handouts for my clients to help prepare them for dining out. I’ve given countless talks on how to successfully dine out, but the truth it’s not likely that one meal out is going to completely ruin your goals. It’s all about eating real whole foods, and eating as clean as possible - at home or out.

My husband and I recently dined at Sea Salt in downtown Naples, and I was so impressed by their healthy dinner options. The fish was so fresh, and they were also able to modify almost anything on the menu to meet my gluten free and dairy free needs, making it so much easier for me!

Sometimes I worry about going out to eat…is there going to be anything I can eat…will someone try to pass wheat pasta off as gluten free (it’s happened!)… is this going to be more stressful than enjoyable?

The staff at Sea Salt, Sasi and Tanya took excellent care of us, and made sure that everything was allergen free for me. I would definitely recommend Sea Salt to anyone who is gluten free and dairy free, they made it so easy for me!

Dining at Sea Salt is a very different dining experience, it almost felt as though we were transported to another city. We felt very safe amidst COVID-19, and really enjoyed the decor and the theme of the restaurant. Upon seating our waitress, Sasi, explained to the different salts that they were serving that evening. We were served pink himalyean, black lava salt from Hawaii, and red clay salt from Hawaii. I love how this creates a unique experience each time.

I often tell my clients to be wary of the bread basket, but we definitely enjoyed a piece or two! Everything in moderation, plus we had to try the salts.

We were first served small bites of salmon & faro for my husband, and an apple slaw and shrimp for myself. These bites may have been small, but they were some of the best bites of the evening! My husband is still talking about the salmon and faro.
