Product Feature: Vision Symphony Walking Workout
I am so excited about my recent project, Vision Symphony walking workout, with local composer Suzannah Doyle! If you notice your vision beginning to fail as you age, try this guided routine that uses simple eye exercises as you walk – improving the strength and flexibility of your eye muscles. Fantastic background music gives you motivation to keep going.
Contact me to find out how you can be one of the first to own LIF Vision Symphony!

Coming soon: Dog Walkers Workout
Bow wow! The Dog Walkers Workout is perfect for those of you who have a canine workout companion! Upbeat, fun music along with tips and walking techniques to maximize you and your dog’s health benefits while walking. Stay tuned for updates.
Stretch of the Month: Vision Exercise
This isn't probably what you'd traditionally think of a "stretch" but rest exercises are an important stretch for your eyes and will aid in improving your vision over time. This is a page straight out of the new Vision Symphony book - a little sneak peek for my friends!
Rest Exercises for Your Eyes
You can do these exercises to help rest your eyes throughout your day.
- Make Eye Pillows with your palms by resting your head forward and closing your eyes. Let your palms cover the eyes softly without pressing. The fingers are relaxed on your hairline above your forehead.
- Take a 5 second break every 15 minutes or so if you are doing computer work or watching TV allow your eyes to reach out in to your farthest focus.
- Blink rapidly for 5 seconds. Rest, then repeat. This helps bathe the eyes in their natural lubricant and cleans out any particles.
From the Blog
Give one thing away each day for 29 days. Why? Because to see your world change, you have to DO something to change your world. One small way to do that is by giving a gift every day. This can be as simple as loaning a book to a friend, smiling at the person who filled your gas tank, giving your coffee barista a compliment, or your neighbor a tray of cookies. Try it out! It WILL change your life!!
