Courteney Kay is embarking on a journey. What kind of journey you might ask? A journey to be healthier and happier. Why? Because we all get to a point where we’d just like to make some big positive changes in our lives. Here goes my first ever blog released to the world! **This will cover my interests of health, wellness, positive psychology, fitness, yoga, personal development, love, and any other tangents I might go on. I welcome all your questions, comments and feedback. Since I’m going through the fun post-college life adjustments of moving to a new city and embarking on new professional endeavors, I figured WHY NOT start out with something also transformative for my body and mind. Follow me, as I first start off this blog by journaling a 30 day personal health challenge :)Tumblr (3.0; @courteneycleansing)http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”<br/><br/> - <em>Arundhati Roy</em>http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/36516602248http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/36516602248Sun, 25 Nov 2012 08:39:03 -0800lovequotewordsjoysimpleunderstandworldbeauty<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1fUFfI/www.highexistence.com/life-secrets-and-tips?sms_ss=stumbleupon&at_xt=4d42de3bc63a2878,0/">50 Life Secrets and Tips</a>: <p>He’s speaking my language… all great stuff :) </p>http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/35856693336http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/35856693336Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:16:02 -0800lifesecrettippersonal developmenthealthwellnesshappiness<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc0cud4VtY1r2xsqyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>In Australia and so very much enjoying travel and how it adds to your life.My quote for the day:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>To live is the rarest thing in the world.

Now, I’m finally getting the hang of Tumblr! I was doing a 30 day program that is put together by a company named Isagenix. I’ve been using there stuff for over 2 years, but during that 30 days I wanted to really just narrow in on my health. Their products are great.. if you ever want to try out any, let me know and I’d be happy to help you with a wholesale discount since I have a membership. Hope that helps! </p>http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/29558256642http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/29558256642Thu, 16 Aug 2012 09:57:30 -0700<p>Thanks so much! </p>http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/29558151408http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/29558151408Thu, 16 Aug 2012 09:55:27 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8t3g3baR01r2xsqyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Smile :)</p>http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/29488001296http://courteneycleansing.tumblr.com/post/29488001296Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:04:50 -0700smilejoyhappyphotowellness
