Be Nice

Chicken soup is good for the soul. But so is paying it forward. I don’t mean just buying someone’s coffee at the local coffee shop.


I mean volunteering at the local soup kitchen. 


Adopt a senior at the local nursing home. 


Volunteer at a local hospital and visit the families, patients and even the staff on that unit. 


Something as simple as holding a door open with a smile and saying have a great day, can make both you and that person indeed have a great day. 




Life is a challenge for all of us on a daily basis. Throw some soul food at it every once in  a while ..... simply, because it makes you feel good.

  🍬 The Sugar Truth: Sweet Lies, StrongHer Choices Sugar. It sneaks into your morning coffee, your “healthy” granola bar, your sauces, and even your salad dressings. It’s not just about dessert anymore—it’s everywhere. And while a little sweetness may make life enjoyable, the reality is: sugar is not your bestie . Let’s break it down in true LiBellé fashion—a little quirky, with practical swaps and a dash of empowerment. 🧬 Gary Brecka’s Take: Sugar = The Silent Saboteur Gary Brecka, human biologist and researcher, doesn’t sugar-coat it (pun intended). His research highlights: Sugar is addictive. Your brain lights up like it does with hard drugs. No wonder cutting it out feels like withdrawal. Sugar fuels inflammation. Chronic inflammation is behind everything from gut issues to arthritis and autoimmune flares. Blood sugar rollercoaster. Every spike leads to a crash, draining your energy and messing with your mood. It accelerates aging. Collagen breakdown = wr...

  Let’s have a soul chat, shall we?   Trauma.   It’s a big word, a heavy one. It carries with it all kinds of weight—memories, heartbreak, anger, confusion, even numbness. And here's the thing: trauma looks different on everyone. It's not a one-size-fits-all black hoodie from the clearance rack at Target.   Some traumas are gut-wrenching and life-shattering .   Some traumas are subtle but lingering , like a splinter you forgot about until it flares up in a quiet moment.   And some things… well, some things might just be really difficult life experiences , not true trauma—but they still leave a mark.   And you know what?

That’s not weakness. That’s biology trying to protect you.   But sometimes that internal...
