As I head off on a three week vacation with my family, I reflect on the concept of being able to stop and smell the roses on the way. It's time to slow down, enjoy the journey and reflect on our health.
How lucky are we to be able to enjoy great health which in turn enables us to enjoy this great journey.
Without my health I wouldn’t be travelling overseas. No amount of money could enable me to travel if I was sick.
Good health is not only a result of following a healthy diet, regular exercise and taking high quality nutritional supplements. Good health is also about achieving balance in our lives – which means to work, rest and play.
This time of year can be very stressful. I spoke to a friend this week, who tells me she is working ridiculous hours, has a daughter in her final year at school and is feeling the weight of stress.
I encourage you to take time for yourself, look after your health, play, and enjoy spending time with family and friends. Have fun and find your balance, so you can feel refreshed, revitalised and full of passion for what you do.
This may be my final blog for 2008 – but watch out for photos of my trip - it's a family vacation in South Africa and I intend to swim at the top of Victoria Falls!

Glad to her you are taking time off with your family. My father taught us that it is just as important to rest as it is to work.
We will never forget the 3 to 4 weeks of every year spent away on the family boat.
But swimming at the top of Nigarra Falls, brrrr. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi Gill,
Hope you had a good break. New assoc but 12 month user. I smelled the roses 12 months ago by trekking up Mt Kilimanjaro and going to safari in Tanzania. Work has whiskers on it but necessary to pay for the holidays. Glad I started the usana before I attempted the mountain.
