The Best of 2021 – A New Year’s Tradition

The Best of 2021 – A New Year’s Tradition

A tradition my husband and I started years ago was to sit down either on New Year's Eve or New Years Day and reflect on all the blessings we've experienced throughout the year. I document this all in my journal. Reliving these events is what fills our hearts and helps us to focus on what's really important in life. We typically make a meal together on New Year's Eve and then reflect on the blessings of the year. It's quite easy to focus on the bad especially during the insanity of the past two years. It was and continues to be like watching a tennis match bouncing back…

4 Simple Tips to Reclaim Your Joy During Stressful Times

4 Simple Tips to Reclaim Your Joy During Stressful Times

Would you have thought back in March when this partial isolation started that we would still be somewhat locked down in July? Thankfully we can explore outside, have lake or beach adventures and take time to reflect on what brings us joy with limited resources. I have been very thankful during my time of self-reflection, to be comforted by knowing I have a foundation of faith.  With so much discord in many facets of life these days, it is so incredible to believe in a God that we can trust. It gives such a sense of peace to know he holds all things under his control and that they will work…

Saving time and money at Costco

Whether you have a large family, small business or preparing for hurricane season, Costco is a convenient and cost effective way to shop. That is assuming you have the space to store everything and the discipline to stop buying those fun things you may not really need. Either way, it is an experience. I started this post pre COVID19 so thinking the experience may not be quite as much fun now. We've had a Sam's membership for years and I felt they had a good selection of organics. However, Costco definitely rules in the area of selection and quantity of organic products which is always my goal. Eat…

Personal Care Products that could be Harming Your Family

Personal Care Products that could be Harming Your Family

As I was cleaning out cabinets, I decided to glance over the ingredient list of some hair care products that I used to use. To be honest, it scared me. I used to put these on my body and didn't think about the impact to my skin, lungs or other vital organs! Think about the personal care products that you and your family use on a daily basis...lotions, shampoo, conditioner, soap, sanitizer, nail polish, baby soaps, make up, perfumes/colognes, deodorant, toothpaste, laundry detergent.  EWG.org (Environmental Working Group) concluded in a study that on average people use 9 personal care products daily and applied an average of 126 unique…

Taking Life for Granted

Taking Life for Granted

My husband and I recently enjoyed our annual vacation at the Omni Hilton Head Resort. It didn't take long to realize how we are taking life for granted. A few inconveniences happened during our trip, which left me a bit frustrated, and truly perturbed (this had nothing to do with the hotel or service because the staff is amazing). It was no sooner than this happened that God created an opportunity to help me put life into perspective.  I was exiting our room and saw our room attendant.  She saw me take our dog out and asked if she could clean now. I said yes please, as our…

One Door Closes and Another One Opens: Changes at B Renewed

B Renewed started in my home office in 2009. I knew God had given me a gift to share health and whole food nutrition. It wasn’t an easy task, as I didn’t have a manual, just divine guidance.

Due to continued growth beyond the Tri-state area, some changes will be occurring at B Renewed soon and I wanted to share them with you first.

Saying Goodbye to the Homestead

Saying goodbye to the homestead was not easy, This week I said goodbye to; the forty-acre farm we owned for over sixty years (since 1952) located in Elsie, Michigan. Across the forty acres included our three-bedroom, bathroom farm house that held all eight of us. We also had a barn, garage and chicken coop.  At one time we raised chickens, pigs, cows, rabbits, cats, dogs, and even a pet raccoon. Our chickens were original free-range, long before it was chic to eat organic.  Free-range back then meant dodging chicken poop in the backyard, along with the fun of being chased by a couple of overly aggressive roosters.  The…

42,038 Memories of Beau

42,038 Memories of Beau

  It would only be fitting to share our 42,038 memories of Beau. Beau was a full-blooded Boxer however, we never had him registered.  We didn’t care about paperwork or someone telling us he was special.  Beau was the king in our castle and in our hearts.  My son (10 years old at the time) dubbed him his full-unregistered name Beauregard Stormy Doughnut Schnautz. Beau lived approximately 12.5 years, which equates to almost 91 in human years so he had an exceptionally long and quality life for a boxer. Working through the tears and collecting all the things that were a part of his life invoked hundreds of…

Dr. Bonnie’s 2012 Reflections

Dr. Bonnie's Reflections of 2012 This spring we experienced a beautiful week in Avon/Outer Banks, NC with our three grown children. For those who have grown children, you know how precious this is getting everyone together. We had a home on the beach and watched the sun set and rise against the ocean with all its glory. We played in the water, made smores in the firepit and played cards and games galore. Our oldest daughter even caught a baby shark on our fishing excursion. It was a place that we all agreed we would want to revisit soon. The next milestone was my son deciding to enlist in the Army/ROTC. He left for…
