PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer August 4, 2024 You are what your friends eat. If you thought you left peer pressure behind once you graduated from high school, I'm sorry to toss this classic Minnesota phrase at you: Yeah, no. Mostly, we can't help it. Ope! Our brains are wired to mirror the eating habits of the people around us and of course, that makes evolutionary and cultural sense. Children learn to eat from mimicking the adults around them. (Although they have their own...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer July 29, 2024 Stress has been the topic of the month for July - with clients, friends, family, and in my own head. It shouldn't surprise me, this happens every summer, but my brain is still hard-wired from childhood to think that summer is carefree and relaxing. Even though it hasn't been either of those things since I was like 10 years old. Perhaps it's a Midwest thing, that because of our long, cold winters we put a lot of pressure on ourselves...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer July 2, 2024 Picture this: Diane Lane as Frances Mayes in Under the Tuscan Sun, after she's impulsively purchased a 300-year old villa and hired a sweet crew of misfits to repair and renovate her new old home. After a rocky start, the days slowly turn golden. Heartbroken Frances and the rundown villa gradually recover together. Walls are demolished, decades of dust is chased away, and sparkling windows are thrown open to sunshine, warm breezes,...

PROJECT VIBRANCY NEWSLETTERby Stephanie Meyer June 21, 2024 The summer I was 15 was terrible and amazing. I think about it all the time, even to this day. Here's what happened: I was wrapping up my sophomore year of high school, in Grand Forks, North Dakota. It had been a pretty good year. It was my first year of real high school and I enjoyed being in a bigger school, with more challenging classes, and actually getting to know teachers as adults. I participated in everything - band, chorus,...
