This is such a special blog for me to write, I'm grinning ear to ear - can't ya tell? Sometimes you meet somebody and you know they are kindred spirits. I must have a good healthy love for mine then cuz I sure love his!
I started following a blog by Mike Foster called Live Life 365 about three years ago. Mike does videos on his blog that are great - I learned the easy way to cut/eat avocados, for instance. You name it, he will tell you what it is, how to cook it and eat it - many things the average person has never tried I'll bet ya! He is ALL about healthy foods, nutrition, staying motivated, taking walks in nature, and making good choices. Every once in a while he will write a song and sing it with his guitar. The walks I've actually BEEN ON with him since he takes his camera right along with him.
He videos from his lanai in Maui on his vaca there every year - so nice to see it when there is winter in the air here - he videos when he is gardening and sweating - always good to see somebody sweat, isn't it? - and of course many videos in his kitchen. Writing songs, writing blogs, making videos........
So what does Mike do? He writes a book! A very practical, very awesome, guide book on how to eat and live well 365 days a year! Immediately I order it. And it's great. It's very Mike.
He tells his story of how his life and health were horrendous, and self-destructive, and how he turned it all around. Today he looks great, feels great, has energy and probably added YEARS to his life!
I just love a good story of people over-coming so much and getting it together to help others to do the same. And he DOES. His book is like his blog, filled with wonderful information anyone can use to improve their own health and vitality adding years to their lives as well!
It is not just the foods that Mike talks about that are healthy either. His philosophies are! All of this comes from a person who learned it all the hard way. In my opinion, that is the best of all teachers, those who lived it and who KNOW. Experiencing a turn-around in your own life makes for a powerful advocate for helping others change too - and Mike does a great job of that. From following his blog I know he has helped a lot of people live healthier lives. (By the way, he even printed one of my comments in the back of his book - thanks Mike! You probably thought I wouldn't notice it, haha)
He offers sage advice on motivation, goal setting and spirituality. This is an all-around, helpful, inspiring, full of goodness kind of book, written by a guy with those same qualities. Check out his website and blog where you can find his book, great videos and lots of Mike! And then you will get it. You will definitely know why I was grinning ear to ear when I started writing this blog. It's Mike - and Live Life 365!

p.s. Patricia over at Patriciaswisdom.com gave me a blog award last Thursday - The Irresistibly Sweet Blog Award - and I thank you, Patricia, from the bottom of my heart. I don't do blog buttons cuz first of all I'm technically challenged with them, and also I've received a bunch in the past three years and I want to acknowledge, say thanks and treat them all the same. It's such a honor to be singled out for these, seriously. A very nice pat on the back for which I am grateful.
And you deserve many wonder full pats on the back and a number of good cheers
ReplyDeleteI have visited Mike's blog a number of time and really learned what I needed to know about Chia seeds from him...very informative..
I will come back and take another tour - having my server still on the fritz makes me cautious right now - we are supposed to get a new "box" tomorrow and I hope this will be the answer.
I did suggest back on 1/11 of this year that I thought that was the problem...ah me
Thanks for the shout out...and the intro to the 365 blog - WOW
Thanks Patricia! Hope you get all your snafu's dealt with. They sure are aggravating - had mine in October and went nuts with it all. Mike is great - I think you can tell I like him - and his book and blog a lot! :)
DeleteThanks for sharing about Mike's blog. I will go over and visit it now. Love when people are able to find out what their body, mind and spirit want...and to turn around their lives.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! I know you will enjoy Mike and his wonderful ways of presenting information. He is so creative and a fun person!

ReplyDeleteHi Laurie,
DeleteMy pleasure, I assure you! Enjoy Live Life 365!
I will definitely stop by Mike's site. Thank you for telling me about him. I'm a sucker for a nice sweaty man any day:~) In addition, I can use all the cooking and gardening hints possible and prefer videos lessons.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan for telling us about him:~)
Hi Suzen!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the wonderful post about my site and book. I have been a fan of yours, and your site, since day one, and your support has always been appreciated. We are two peas in a pod about nutrition and fitness - a good thing!
As for some of the above comments...I am glad that given that I am described as a sweaty man, at least I am considered a "nice" sweaty man. And thanks again for all the support...here's to YOUR success!
peace,
Mike
