New Job!

About two weeks ago, I opened a new chapter in this adventure I call life.  I started my new job in the hospital Wellness Department as a Wellness Specialist.  Right now I conduct occupational wellness testing (BP, body composition, spirometry tests, EKG, bone density, draw blood, and individual consults).  My long term goal is to work as a health educator within the Wellness Department.  I think with my background as a nurse and a Vegan, I will be able to contribute a unique perspective. 

I am loving my job right now and I look forward to the road ahead!  I can see that there may be some bumps and hurdles ahead, however, I welcome these challenges with an open mind and willing attitude.

Last week, I had an experience with one client that confirmed that this is the right path for me.  Being able to guide someone on a journey of health and wellness is what I have always wanted to do. 

I will do my best to keep blogging my recipes, experiences, and information.

Raspberry Oatmeal Muffins

 

I made these quick and easy muffins for the girls to eat Saturday morning before their volleyball games.  They are filling and tasty without the using refined white sugar.  This is the recipe I used.

This is a guideline to the crock pot spaghetti sauce I made the other day using my garden tomatoes and fresh herbs.  So, feel free to add and subtract ingredients as you please!
