I started The Healthy Apple, in my early 20's, to share all I was learning about healing myself from more than two dozen chronic health issues. Just before my 40th birthday, I closed that part of my journey and began a new chapter. I'm now bringing consciousness and beauty to everyday life at AmieValpone.com.

Rest assured, you can still access the resources and information gathered here on alternative medicine, living an anti-inflammatory lifestyle and understanding the multitude of mind body connections.

Thank you for your ongoing love and support - you've given me the courage to believe in myself. I look forward to seeing you at AmieValpone.com.

All these years living in NYC I’ve found so much $All these years living in NYC I’ve found so much joy from simply walking up + down the concrete (and cobblestone) streets. There’s beauty in the tiny details of every neighborhood. People tend to tell me I see beauty in everything, everywhere. I can’t help it. It’s sort of my filter. I believe this way of looking at life is also what pulled me through the last two decades of deep healing. It’s a strange thing to have lived almost 20 years in such a fascinating city yet not be well enough to partake in a fraction of what’s available. I, always looking on the bright side, seemed to come alive when I stepped out of my apartment even on days when I barely had energy to walk down the stairs. I spent those years alone, healing, yet I never felt alone. That’s the wild thing about Manhattan. When I lived on the UES in my 20’s, I made friends with the doormen of nearby buildings on my morning walks. I loved seeing how they were dressed with their fancy top hats, pressed shirts + double breasted suits. They all seemed to resemble my grandfather. I’d stop + chat for a minute or two while they whistled on the sidewalk. They’d tell me what was going on in the world (since I lived under a rock + avoided the news) and would share old stories from their 40+ years as doormen. It was fun. I’d make friends with the cashiers at the food store + share recipes with the farmers who drove in from upstate for the farmers market. I looked forward to seeing them each week. They, too, would have stories from their morning bus ride or a tale about a customer that made them roll their eyes + giggle. I loved it. My 30’s (and now my 40’s) have been spent living downtown, which feels a bit like another solar system even though we’re all on this island together. It’s magical down here. It just feels like me. And while I have really started to crave the mountains, right now, this is home. I could go on sharing various stories of my anomalous life but after I snapped this photo, I was captivated by its beauty. I’m not sure if you can see it. It sums up the beauty I see each day + how grateful I am to be on a concrete island with lots of beauty. ✨(read the full article on amievalpone.com)✨$
