This stuff that covers up my truth Disconnects me from the spark of my youth Recently I've been getting rid of many of my belongings. I am downsizing to a home less than half the size of my current home. At first I was daunted by it, and I still am—it's a lot of work, … Continue reading Decluttering: Frees the Mind, Opens the Heart

Post-Divorce: A Behind-the-Scenes View
While I have you behind the scenes, why not continue the tour, no? So much for a segue… After I graduated nutrition grad school, I spent a decent amount of time not only describing the role of a registered dietitian, but also explaining how my grad school, Teachers College, offered a master’s in nutrition.

Self-Publishing: A Behind-the-Scenes View

Since it is part of my wellness private practice, and therefore, a significant source of income for my … Continue reading Self-Publishing: A Behind-the-Scenes View
My Inner Receptionist

So too, when too many good things happen simultaneously. Recently, I found myself in a position of having … Continue reading To-Do Lists
The Real Me
It's honestly jarring to think of the behind the scenes lives of people. They look one way on the outside, and often it's not until the people are out of our lives that we really know who they are. It's tragic, really. It's not that the inspired, soulful version isn't the real me. It is. … Continue reading The Real Me

Good Morning
This morning, I woke up after a full, uninterrupted night’s rest. It felt great. I’m glad I decided to not watch extra tv last night and listened to my body’s signals of near-exhaustion. When I awoke I was greeted by the sound of birdies. I love how they chatter so in the early morning. Mimicking … Continue reading Good Morning
