Fridays are a day of working in the morning, running errands and prepping for the weekend; not that most weekends are very eventful but we try to make the most of them. Friday nights mean eating out and sometimes, depending on where we are and what we’re doing, we might have dinner out on Saturday […]
A friend recently sent me a photo she took of me and her significant other from four years ago. As I look at it, I think, “wow, I looked pretty good just a short time ago”. I’m not that far away from that weight but I’m up slightly – enough to be uncomfortable and self-conscious. […]
These days I find myself both anxious and worried about spring coming, followed by summer, then fall. As I look out my window I see piles, feet of snow still covering the ground which raises my anxiety about not having enough warm sunshine before next winter introduces itself. I think about all the flower bulbs […]
Food is seen as so many things depending on our mood or our social activity. If we’re depressed we eat foods that comfort us whether healthy or not, when we’re happy we often eat fatty food, when angry, crunchy simple carbs will do thank you…and so on.

I like making stir fry because I can get a nice mixture of vegetables and a little bit of meat if I choose to use it in one big pan. Stir fry also gives me a wide variety of choices, helping me use whatever foods I have on hand; I can also change the taste […]
When was the last time you had Shepherd’s Pie? We did tonight; it’s so easy to make and so warming and delicious especially on these single digit temperature days we’ve been having. Use ground beef or ground turkey, onion, a bag of frozen corn or mixed veggies, spices of choice, a few potatoes….brown the hamburg, […]
I’ve heard it said, ‘what you resist persists’. I also believe that to be true. I’ve seen it in others and I’ve experienced it myself. How often have you searched for an answer to something or direction in your life’s path and felt your subconscious knew the answer but you resisted or just didn’t see […]
So many people make new year resolutions such as going on a diet, exercising more, adopting a new practice, reading more books, or getting more sleep…the list is endless. For me, I see it as time to adjust things that didn’t work in the past 12 months, using the next chunk of time (12 months) […]
