New Year New Path

Sitting down to write this post is a little scary.  If you have been here for any amount of time you know I share.  I can overshare and I know that about myself.  When I first began this blog many seasons ago it was a way to connect with my fitness clients and classes.  It was a space to share … Read more about New Year New Path

Healthy Hoppin’ John (that’s good any time of year!)

This is not a typical New Year's Day post.  I'm not sharing new resolutions, new intentions or a new word for the new year.  I'm also Not going to moan about our past year and refer to 2020 as a "dumpster fire" which I see and hear all the time. I honestly do not look at 2020 in that way.  I … Read more about Healthy Hoppin’ John (that’s good any time of year!)

Last year I wrote about some of the things that I was giving up for Christmas.  I thought this might be a good time to share it again. … Read more about Things to Try This Christmas

Favorite Vegetable Soup – best detox soup ever

This is a soup you need in you life.  True statement here:  I have been eating this for lunch or dinner every single day for 8 days straight.  And I'm not bored yet.  AND I made it because I wanted to flood myself with some goodness (and I was feeling pretty bloated) and am happy to report it is … Read more about Favorite Vegetable Soup – best detox soup ever

BEST New Recipe for Fall! Caprese Chicken with Spinach

My cooking has made quite a turn lately.  You may have noticed that from the lack of recipe sharing here.  These days my cooking consists of things that I can do quickly, simply or that I will eat on for the week.  I'm thinking about sharing some of those ideas because it really is a change and … Read more about BEST New Recipe for Fall!

Now What?

    Bear with me here.  This is not a health and wellness post which is what I normally post here.  So if you aren't up for a little sappy I don't want to take up your space and I'd love you to come back another day. A couple of days ago I closed the door behind me as I came … Read more about Now What?

No More Broken Talk, Please

I was working out the other morning and the Kelly Clarkson song "Broken and Beautiful" began playing.  Can I tell you how much that song got under my skin?  Obviously enough that I stewed on it, pulled out a legal pad and began putting my thoughts on paper.  Yep.  I'm still one of the dinosaurs that … Read more about No More Broken Talk, Please

Continuing Quarantine Life

It continues to be a strange time around here.  I confess that there are some things about Quarantine Life I have come to enjoy.  There's been a sweetness to some of these days, for sure. As hard as it's been having our normal schedule displaced and filled with uncertainty about just about … Read more about Continuing Quarantine Life

Being Well These Days (and of course a workout!)

When I get up these days I take a few seconds to confirm what day of the week it is.  Then, because I am such a good friend, I send text reminders to a few friends who might need that reminder (;  Since today feels like number 3,476,953 days of quarantine, I definitely needed to remind myself that … Read more about Being Well These Days (and of course a workout!)
