About Elsie: The girl behind the screen

Hello, I’m Elsie! I am an avid writer, blogger and health enthusiast. I believe my body is a temple, and for that, staying whole and healthy is high on my priority list! I am a tree-hugging hippie, one might say, who adores her loving mother, Nature. I surround myself with her sweet serenity whenever possible.

Born and raised as a Florida girl, I love love LOOOOOVE soaking up Vitamin D. My tolerance for cold weather is a joke. Ha!  My ideal day might include swimming, laughing, walking, dancing, biking, kayaking and paying a visit to my good friend, Gym! I also love stupid puns like the one I just made! ;) Lounging by the pool, with a drink in hand, in the company of friends is where it’s at. I become anxious from a lack of fresh air so I usually write my posts on my balcony, where I can clear my mind of all the mundane distractions of life.

My favorite book is Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. It’s about a man leaving society to live within the depths of wild Alaska. A book about being one with nature...Elsie’s fav book?? Shocker. This book, along with my beloved family, has inspired me to become a world traveler. I spent 10 months studying in Madrid, Spain and I now know that I have always had a “Spanish heart.” It is truly my home away from home. Because of my vida en España, I speak Spanish fluently! One of my favorite personal qualities for sure!

Serving as my personal nirvana, my journal is where it all began. A liberating space that no one can infiltrate. In the loaded pages of this sacredly bound book reside my most intimate thoughts: Poems, quotes, long passages, scribbles and cross outs. After writing for myself for so long, I decided to share. And voila! Live Whole and Prosper happened! 

My goal with this blog is to improve the health of my dear friends, family and the public. I believe that one should love them self and maintain their "whole" identity, ALWAYS.

Thanks for the visit! Keep reading...your new healthy life is right around the corner <3
