NAMIWALKS Kick-Off Breakfast: Tips for Teams

Steps to Mental and Emotional Wellness

Welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my blog: Empowered Walking: Steps to Mental and Emotional Wellness. I am honored that you have decided to join me for a life-changing journey to mental and emotional wellness.

If you are anything like me, I imagine that you sometimes find yourself like a toddler who is learning to walk: (1) struggling to get on your feet. You (2) take "baby steps" in order to move forward and perhaps (3) struggle to stay on your feet. With much practice, you finally (4) walk differently with a confident, steady, assured stride. These steps are integral to Destination Wellness.

In sacred scriptures, "walking" is a metaphor for the way that we live, and the word often points to how we relate to God. Did you know that walking is a physical, mental, emotional, as well as spiritual experience?

This blog provides instructions, illustrations, and inspiration for taking the steps which empower you to attain, maintain and, regain holistic wellness - body, mind and spirit.

On the left, you will find my latest posting. Feel free to post comments. Share postings with friends and colleagues and become a follower.

Toward the bottom right of the blog, you will find a listing of my scheduled events. It would be an honor to meet you, so consider attending one of my upcoming events. Take a moment to check-out my calendar and come join me. I would love to hear your walking testimony!

Walking is both a daily experience and lifetime journey!
