The last few years have been rough for all of us. There has been so much division across so many areas in our lives that it can be hard to find common ground. When we think about the relationships we’ve had in our lives, whether it’s been our spouses or our best friends, those relationships…
Skin aging is something that is talked about a lot. No one wants their skin to age, and yet it is something that we are all faced with (pun intended). Our face is something that sees the sun every day. We can’t really cover it up like we can the rest of our body to…
On May 7, 2022, Jonathon and I had the privilege of attending An Intimate Evening with David Foster: A Night on Broadway. It was an incredibly special night with amazing performances and a live auction.

Mother’s Day is a wonderful day to celebrate Moms and appreciate all they do, who they are, how they love us, and how they enrich our lives. As mothers, it is a day traditionally greeted with homemade cards, breakfast in bed and a relaxing day off from all those responsibilities families can, at times, take…
It is inching close to summer and around this time most of us are starting to worry about the sun coming out and having to shed those winter clothing layers. It’s natural, we all start to worry about that. Loving our bodies and accepting them is one thing, being comfortable in our own skin is…
Food is not just an important aspect of our everyday life; we must eat in order to survive. This need to eat influences so many choices we make every day. I don’t think most of us realize that food is one of the most psychologically driven things we do multiple times a day; that psychologically…
I love the philanthropic work I do through the Jonathon D. Fischer Foundation. Each year, I feel honored to be able to sponsor a very special Valentine’s Day for a group of amazing girls that are part of the Women’s Recovery Discipleship program at The Dream Center.

If you live in the United States, chances are you’re not meeting your daily nutritional requirements for all micronutrients. In fact, a study showed that 40% or more of the American population is below the recommended daily needs for eight out of 14 nutrients. It’s a challenge for most of us to eat all our…
2021 was a year like none other. There was a significant amount of loss and heartache for most of us. It was full of ups and downs, joy, and tragedy, but above all else the one thing that remained certain was that God is ultimately in control. John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my…
A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great. Proverbs 18:16 It’s my favorite time of the year! Christmastime is truly the most wonderful. Gathering of families, great food and drink, and celebrating the birth of Jesus. What I especially love about this time is the general goodwill and…
Gratefulness can be hard to practice. Gratitude isn’t something that happens when good things come, it is something that needs to be cultivated. I get so distracted by the many things going on in the world, the mundane day to day tasks that sometimes I completely lose sight of the wonderful things all around me….
It can be hard to stay motivated in during a season when everything seems to go dormant. Let’s face it – fall and winter can be depressing. Some people love this time of year, personally, I am my best in the summer months when I can take my dogs for walks on the beach and…
Decluttering and organizing is a popular subject. There is a lot of information out there about organizing small spaces and minimizing “stuff” in your home.

When it’s time to make a change in your habits to get healthier, most of the time people start with eating better and exercising. This is a great place to start! But sometimes we tend to neglect one of the most important parts of the body – our skin.
Window coverings are an absolute necessity in home decor. There are so many kinds of blinds, drapery, and covers that it can become overwhelming. The biggest hurdle I have found in selecting blinds or drapes for my windows is having both privacy and an abundance of light at the same time. I love doing my…
I believe that nutrition and exercise are key ingredients to living a happy and fulfilled life. In my books I talk about a PC combo – the optimal combination of Protein and Carbohydrates to maintain a healthy, active life. I’d like to add an addendum to that. For a completely fulfilled life I think what…
We had a huge persimmon tree on our ranch and when they were ripe my grand- mother would simply dig a spoon into one and enjoy it as if it were a cup of pud- ding. She also used them to make smoothies. However I liked them best in her famous persimmon cookies. I’ve altered…
Although foster care is gaining momentum in Mexico, orphanages still dominate by a long shot. There are over 700 orphanages — some public, some private — that house over 30,000 children in Mexico. It’s estimated that 400,000 Mexican children are without parents, and 100,000 of these children are homeless. Needless to say, improved housing solutions…
