For the past fifteen years Laurie Buchanan, PhD has worked as a holistic health practitioner and transformational life coach. Embracing the philosophy that "whatever you are not changing, you are choosing," Buchanan has helped hundreds of clients turn intention into action, bridging the gap between where they are and where they want to be-body, mind, and spirit. A longtime magazine writer, her articles and essays have appeared in Sibyl, Evolving Your Spirit, Power of Positivity, and other print and online publications. Globally, readers visit her blog, Tuesdays with Laurie (www.tuesdayswithlaurie.com), to enjoy a healthy dose of positivity served with an "internal inventory" question posed as food for thought. A minimalist at heart, Buchanan lives with her husband in a 600-square-foot carriage house (circa 1865) in the Pacific Northwest.
