About Michele

Michele Bergh is a teacher, a student and a lover of life. She is a healing artist who enjoys a variety of mediums and also has a few mad techie skills up her sleeves. By day she primarily does WordPress design and development and works with others to create a blissful life. By night, you'll find her behind a camera lens, on her bike, in a big comfy chair, cooking up a storm in her kitchen or sewing while listening to great music (probably from the 70s) on her ipod. Her greatest joy comes from living a orgasmic life by design.

Track Your Way to Health

Michele

I've had enough. My weight keeps creeping in the wrong direction and my body is full of aches and pains. I decided it was time to do something about it this summer. I started with a food sensitivity test which told me I shouldn't be eating flaxseed, blue dye #5, and dairy. I can handle the first two but dairy? That's a … [Read more...] about Track Your Way to Health

Don’t Wait to Live Your Life

Michele

This summer the hubby and I went to the Tom Petty/Joe Walsh concert. It was really great. If you are familiar with our lifestyle, we go to a lot of concerts and this summer had several that we considered to be epic events. Since many of the artists we go to see are getting up there in age - true classics, we call them - … [Read more...] about Don’t Wait to Live Your Life

I am so loving my Instant Pot and have been playing with all kinds of recipes.

Traits of People with True Integrity

Michele

Years ago someone asked me about integrity. She was having a hard time wrapping her head around what it actually is.

Our First Cruise

Michele

We recently went on our first cruise. It was our first vacation since going to Colorado last fall and much needed. We chose this cruise because our oldest and her husband went on the same one and we knew they'd be able to provide us with some tips and it felt more comfortable this way. I was so afraid to go as I get … [Read more...] about Our First Cruise

Absent

Michele

I have been absent from this blog for three and a half months now. I can't believe that much time has passed. There have been so many times my soul has yearned to come here and share. And yet, I haven't done so. Until the last couple of weeks, my life has felt very out of balance. I finally feel like I've got some room … [Read more...] about Absent

Feeling Trapped?

Michele

Uggg! I've been such a bad blogger lately. The new business has been crazy busy as we get up and running (always more to do that we think) and the consulting business is going really well too. It's easy when life gets overwhelming to feel trapped and I'm really uncomfortable with that feeling. I've done so much in my … [Read more...] about Feeling Trapped?
