Miss Mother Nature – Lauren Hart
The theme of Mays content for PhillyHealthwatch is Mother Nature and enjoying everything she has to offer. It fits perfectly with what’s going on right outside our front doors. The weather is getting more beautiful as each day goes by, providing us with an endless list of fun and vibrant outdoor activities to participate in. And, I don’t know about you but the very words “mother nature” resinate a sense of peace and comfort in my soul. Wikipedia defines mother nature as a common personification of nature that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it in the form of the mother. When I stop to think about what she (Mother Nature) has to offer, I envision the words vitality, nourishment, and balance. Funny because these are the very words I would use to describe our highlighted person for the month of May. None other than Philadelphia’s very own Lauren Hart. Read More >
