Stories from someone just fumbling through
Happy Halloween or whatever seasonal festive flavor you prefer to celebrate at this time of year. I've had a very difficult day thus far. The gremlins at work seem to be working overtime in the lab, thwarting my attempts to get out of here at a reasonable hour. Additionally, I've received some terrible news that… Continue reading Showing Some Skin
Join me on a nourishing reading retreat in the Catskills.
Happy 2021! Here are some virtual goodies that inspire me and perhaps they'll do the same for you. For those of you with new years resolutions to exercise more and/or lose weight, this podcast is for you. Here's some good advice for those who are feeling a bit worn (like me), injured (like me) or… Continue reading Motivation Monday (A Day Late)
I originally posted this rant on my Instagram but I thought I'd add it to the blog as well....so even more people can be put-off by my opinion on this matter. I was talking with a clothing designer friend yesterday about fashion and found myself rather randomly blurting out how I have to rethink my… Continue reading My complete lack of fashion sense
This is a continuation of my last post on goal setting. I'd like to take this opportunity to delve further into Hunter Thompson's idea of the decision between going with the flow by designing a life that accentuates your experiences and natural talents OR swimming against the current by re-inventing yourself in order to achieve… Continue reading More on Goals & Limiting Beliefs

I have no clue as to what prompted me to start reading his work about fifteen years ago but when I did I instantly recognized a kindred spirit. His words were enormously visual, vicious, creative and calculated. He… Continue reading Goal Setting

In that span--while the herbs jovially intermingled with the alcohol--they've lived in three different homes and seen their fair share of vigorous shakes. They've paid their dues and now they're ready to fulfill their medicinal destiny. Back in April, I… Continue reading Tis the Season for Tincture Time
I'm having an unintentional Brené Brown day and I thought I'd share the wealth. As soon as I fired up my computer, YouTube popped up with her latest video and when I checked my Instagram there she was promoting her Gifts of Imperfection art-journaling e-course (the Festivus snail needs to get me this). I seemingly can't… Continue reading Being genuine in all endeavors
Happy turkey lurkey day! Today, I'm missing my family. For several years, my mother, brother, and I spent our Thanksgivings feeding pumpkin pies to rescued turkeys and enjoying a vegan potluck at Farm Sanctuary. These days, things aren't as simple and it's harder to get together but there's always next year, right? ...Maybe? However, all… Continue reading Tips for Surviving Turkey Lurkey Day
Okay, this is long and I'm sorry... I'd have to say that these last few months have been some of the hardest, best, and most eye-opening yet. It seems like ever since I returned from Yellowstone, life has been giving me fairly steady groin kicks with some face punches thrown in there for good measure.… Continue reading Revisiting my youthful side
