Over the weekend I was fortunate enough be able to attend Parents’ Weekend at my son’s college.
I so appreciate that he goes to school in Florida instead of North Dakota, especially when Parents’ Weekend is in February!
His campus is actually located on the water and has a boat marina, water sports kiosk, and a small sandy beach. We stayed in a condo about 5 miles away, right on the gulf of Mexico.
While the water wasn’t warm enough for swimming yet, the weather was warm and sunny, allowing for morning runs on the beach and a dip in the heated pool.
The weekend started with a meal with six of Eric’s friends and their parents at a trendy Mexican restaurant that accommodated vegan requests very well.
Details of our weekend of fun are recorded as a photo log on my blog:

As Spring approaches, I am getting more and more excited about my upcoming LIVE event, Spring Into Vitality.
It starts on the first day of Spring. What better time to rebirth your healthy body, mind and spirit!
I’m really enjoying finalizing the details – the agenda, the goodie bags, the banquet and fiesta, the prizes and the meals.
It’s going to be so much fun!
And speaking of fun, that’s exactly what my feature article is about this week – my favorite fatigue fighting strategy – FUN.
And of course, we have all sorts of activities and resources in this week’s newsletter – including access to a free e-book and a couple of webinar recordings on breaking free from fatigue.
And finally, our Spring Equinox GREEN Cleanse is starting soon, just in time for Spring Cleaning.
We have over 60 people who have already said “yes” to themselves, and will be joining us for Spring Into Vitality, March 22 – 24.
The Early Bird Special will go away starting March 1.
The Bring a Friend Special is only in effect till March 8!
It’s going to be such a transformational Spring for everyone who decides to come play with me.
I sure look forward to meeting you soon!

The Physiology of FUN, and Its Impact on Your Health
By Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo
Many of my patients and students over the years were surprised to find that among my top 4 health- generating activities is having FUN. I love sharing ways to incorporate habits that create vibrant health and boundless energy – without all the hard work.
So why is fun so important to achieving your goal of optimum health and wellness?
When you’re having fun, your body produces a chemical soup that nourishes and protects your cells, enhances the function of your immune system, and brings your hormones into harmony.
Have you heard of the book, Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins?
In it, Cousins checks himself out of the hospital and into a comfy (and a lot less expensive) hotel room, where he watches funny movies and takes high doses of vitamin C to get well….
