Hello, I am Amber, known as ‘Organic Amber (OA)’ among my friends and loved ones. You are probably thinking by my name, that everything I do is organic. A lot is, but it is about a lot more than just being organic. It is about health...about doing the best you can with the means and knowledge you have and letting the rest go. It is about living a healthier life in the manner or manners that interest you. The manner that talks to your soul, the one that makes you say, "shit ya, I feel good." Strive each and every day to be the best you...the green juice drinking, organic apple eating, whole food you. But if you don't like apples, don't eat them. If you love apples but don't care that apples have the highest pesticide residue = carcinogenic = cancer causing residue....eat them. Matter of fact, eat lots of them...eat a dozen if you want, but you may want to think about drinking warm lemon water in the morning, or eating beets, or dry brushing (say what??). It is about education, knowledge, passion and being the best version of you possible. I live by the 80/20 rule. 80%of the time I try...I try to eat things that I know nourish my body, feed my soul and enable me to feel good about being me. The other 20% of the time, I drink beer (i love a good ipa), and do things that may not be considered so OA. But I don't beat myself up over it...I don't even think twice about it, well maybe twice but definitely not three times. I have created this space to share what I have learned, to invite you on my journey as I continue to learn and explore making small changes in my life and my family's life that enable us to (hopefully) live a healthier, longer, more enjoyable one. Hang around for awhile, you just may learn something.
P.S. I am not perfect, nor will I ever be perfect. But what I am is an ordinary human trying to make my life, my family's life and the lives of those around me a tad bit healthier. I have found things that work for us, some you may not agree with. But please don't judge...I won't judge you, you don't judge me...deal?
