About Mariestips

I am a Baby Boomer who took charge of her health during the change of life (menopause). When I was starting to feel unbalanced due to hormonal fluctuations, I took my life long interest and study of natural health, and researched on what I could do to help myself as I did not want to go through the traditional route of taking hormone replacement therapy. I combined my life-long interest in natural health with my focus on positive thinking and spirituality to maintain a good attitude. A friend once mentioned why not share what I know with others, and here I am with "Marie's Tips". Since I have a holistic approach to life, and I am also an inspirational writer, I will be sharing non-religious, spiritual, inspirational and positive articles.
