Here's What You Will Get: 

Every Thursday, I send out an exclusive email with the three coolest things I’ve found (or explored) that week.  It could be cool stuff in Montana (our new home state), or hip things in Evergreen, Colorado where we used to live (and we still have a vacation rental property). Or maybe even fun stuff from Sarasota, Florida where we once lived (for like a minute).

It might include tips on following a Whole-Food, Plant Based (WFPB Diet), my favorite Buddha quote, TedX talks, gadgets, books, articles, hacks, or some frugal living tips.

We’ll also be offering exclusive giveaways, books, gadgets, music, articles, new hacks/tricks, and — of course — healthy living tips. 

All designed to help you feel happier and healthier over 50!

and — of course — recipes and blog posts from best-selling cookbook author Vicki Chelf, who is a 40-year veteran of veganism and regular contributor here at HHO50. (Hint: she uses her Instantpot to keep it simple!)

Vicki and I both follow only scientifically proven wellness principles such as a Whole-Food, Plant Based (WFPB) Diet. (Vicki is a Certified Nutritionist and my 35-year career in medical sales where I learned a bit of what doctors know.)

I started a vegan-”ish” diet in 2007, when I gave up red meat, pork and poultry, as well as dairy.  I feel great and I highly recommend a plant-based diet. I feel good about the choices we make as a family because it not only benefits our health, it also helps prevent diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s – diseases that all run in my family. Being plant-based also enables us to do our part for climate change.
 

And if that’s not enough, every week I include my favorite “Silly Video of the Week” in the newsletter, down in the post-script. I’m addicted to funny videos, and I believe it’s important to laugh as much as we can. So, I’m an ardent collector and I like to share.

I’m a tad bit crazy, so expect some laughter mixed in with all that other cool stuff.  For instance, every week I include my favorite "Silly Video of the Week" in the P.S. because we call need to keep laughing!!

 “3-Bullet Thursday” emails are only available if you subscribe to my e-mail newsletter. 

Only two months after settling into our new home, my husband Dave was offered a new and exciting role. In the Sunshine State, F-L-O-R-I-D-A, a world apart from where we came -- and a mere 2,000 miles away from our new home in Evergreen, Colorado.

So, we packed up again, and moved from the mountains to a fabulous beach town on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We lived in beautiful Sarasota, Florida, for about two years, right near Siesta Key Beach, a known Center of Healing Energy. Coincidentally enough, I had some healing to do. [Learn more about the natural healing properties of Siesta Key's sand here.]

I quickly turned the Evergreen home into a successful Airbnb. We now list with the Evolve Vacation Rental Network. 

And we moved and moved and moved again. Our final destination was Livingston, Montana in September of 2019, where we hope to stay forever -- with frequent visits back to Evergreen, Colorado, and Sarasota, Florida!!

My journey includes focus on a higher level of health and wellness, not just physically but emotionally and spiritually.  

I provide simple tips and tricks, hacks that have helped me.   I got healthy by following a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) Diet, so I also cover easy ways to incorporate healthy eating  into your life.  

My hope is that you leave this site with either a newly learned skill, an idea, or a feeling of confidence or encouragement.   I aim to help others focus on their health as a foundation for building their ultimate life.
