In early December, I was asked to appear on the morning show to talk about HBD: Battle with the Bugs. It was my first time on T.V. so needless to say I was quite nervous, but luckily it was so early in the morning I didn’t have too much time to dwell on it!
For those of you who have not seen the the clip, here you are!

I have consciously and officially started to train my hair to part in a different spot. I am not doing it for fun or to get a new look. I am doing out of pure necessity - to cover my ever growing gray hair strands.
How can I be feeling the best I have felt…really in my whole life ( and I have a few more than a couple decades) …. yet glance in the mirror and see someone completely different? It is complete craziness to look into the mirror, thinking I will see my 25 year old self, and actually see my gray hairs sticking up, slighly droopy eyes and many wrinkles. What has happend?
Life, I suppose…a pretty happy life in that. Yes, my life has been a complete roller coaster ride with as many ups as downs. And I get that, but how do you make that leap into fully accepting all the physical/outward changes? Actually it is all quite amusing to me….on most days that is. On the good days, I can look in the mirror and say, ” that freckle is from that amazing trip I took with my sisters’” and “those deep smile wrinkles ( or creases!) are from me laughing and giggling at my kids everyday craziness!” The bad days…well that brings me to my question for all of you
Should I start constantly colouring my hair to cover the grays?

Love it! Ever since my childhood friend introduced me to the world by pretending to mail ourselves somewhere every time we passed a mailbox, I have been intrigued with cultures and wildlife of different countries.
My mother-in-law is in Antartica right now and a good friend of mine is from Bahia ( Brazil), which are both on the list, ” The 31 Places to Go in 2010.” Happy to say, I have visited many of the places on the list ( like walking around Cali, Columbia, alone as my husband lay sick in our hotel - maybe not safe but I survived and it was interesting!) Embarrassed to say, I needed to grab an atlas for some places and finally, some I have always dreamed about going to ( Sri Lanka!)
My husband would love to go to South Africa to watch the games in the World Cup ( summer 2010). And I would love to get my feet in African soil again ( LOVE this country!) I was surprised not to see Buenos Aires on the list, although they are calling Cartegena the next Buenos Aires and the architecture is so beautiful there!
Well, I will keep dreaming and trying to stock away some money because I look forward to seeing more of the world… especially with the kids!

Your kids will love this article! I loved the article - it brings me back to my childhood and my twenties. One of my truly amazing life highlights was seeing the mountain gorillas in Rwanda.
I arrived in Kigali, Rwanda overland from Nairobi, Kenya with 2 good friends. It was 1990, so the place was alive and full of tourists. However, most of the tourists were on planned trips and we were some backpackers just rolling into town to see the famous Dian Fossey gorillas. Luckily, Colin, loved to speak the 3 languages he knew and that the Rwandans spoke, and as we stood in the middle of a dusty road, we could hear Colin and our future tour guide make some deals in French, English and Swahili.
The next day we began our hike into mountain gorilla territory. It was rainy and actually quite miserable. The gorillas were usually seen within a 2 hour hike and we were hitting that mark. But when our guide turned to us with his index finger to his lips, I didn’t care if a storm broke out! All of a sudden, right in front of me, 2 black hands gently pushed away the branches that covered his face. And there, framed with greenery, was the magnificent creature’s beautiful face.
The clouds drifted away and the sun began to shine as we watch this mountain gorilla family eat and play in the dewy bushes. It was a sight and the feeling of true natural bliss, I will never forget.
OK, back to this article in the New Your Times. The article talks about all the different voices/calls monkeys have for predators and such. Maybe monkeys could talk if they wanted too but are choosing not too. Interesting! And it would not have surprised me if one had said hello to me…they are brilliant.

My friend Eric Bonnici interviewed me a few months ago. We sat down for about an hour! - so he broke up the interview into 5 segments. I will be posting the interviews, one by one, in the next few weeks.
Hope you enjoy them and if you have any questions for me or Eric please email us.

Happy Holidays and Be Well!
I remember watching Jurassic Park when it come out years ago and one important discussion very close to the beginning was about controlling nature. The scientist stated their was no way nature could be controlled as it was really chaos - spontaneous, living for the moment (to survive) - going with the flow ( or something like that.) Whereas the business man thought it could be controlled. Well, all of those who have watched this move, know very well how it ended…
So, in general, I have always thought that it was just finding the right balance to control the “home chaos” and well accepting it to a degree, but lately my life just seems unusually chaotic. So my question is to all of you reading this, Can I find some kind of balance within the home chaos? Or do I need to fully accept the chaos and go with the flow of it?
I believe I know the right answer, but wow, it is super hard as the parent at home the most, to do. Please tell me how you handle all the craziness! Especially with more to come with all the holidays approaching.

I thought I would re-post this blog. It was one of my first blog entries and I was just thinking about this time in my life and how important this moment was to me.
I moved to Boston right after high school. I loved it! I immediately met 2 au-pair French girls and despite our language barrier ( I spoke a little French and they spoke a little English) we hit it off.
One of our first conversations was about “to have” and “to be.” They spoke how they noticed in America, that people had a “to have” mentality, whereas, in Europe it was more of a “to be” way of thinking. This had a huge impact on me and I still think about it today and how it applies to my lifestyle.
I have given a few lectures on how this relates to our health. Do we “have health” or are we “to be health?” It is somewhat of a combination of both but it definitely begins with being healthy. Your everyday awareness to the health of your body is what will determine your having health. Our bodies want to be healthy but in order for the body to have health some conscious lifestyle choices are required.
I encourage everyone to make healthy lifestyle choices - finding ways to relief stress, breathing deeply, eating whole colourful foods and just, well, being present!

It has been a busy year for me. Back in January 2008, I decided to put my thoughts on designing a website into action. Almost to the minute of making this decision everything fell into place. I met an amazing woman who has become my business consultant and pretty much my lifeline to my idea. She has pushed me to strive for something I could never imagined that I could do. I am so grateful for her. Then my children’s book started to come to life with finding an illustrator who really heard my voice, and finding my recording/musician friend. In the midst of all of this I am grateful to have my friends and family listening and supporting me.
Big thanks!
My website, www.drheathernd.com has officially launched full of information on preventative health care, guidance for supplement shopping (and shopping for them as well), to an exciting kids section and of course, my audio book, the first in a series of Human Body Detectives stories.
Now I have switched over from Blogger to Wordpress and I am so excited about the change and new possibilities.Again big thanks to you all who helped me get this far and for all of you helping me now. I hope to continue to hear from you and receive comments and thoughts on my site.
