Guilt and Negative Self-Talk Do Way More Harm Than a Bagel!
Yep, me again. Two posts in one day. A dangerous precedent, I know, but I really wanted to share my experience with CRAVINGS from earlier today. I think it’s important to post the challenging moments alongside the seemingly effortless (HA!) healthy successes. So, here goes. In the interest of full disclosure (because we all deviate ...
Creative Cooking: Making the Most of What You’ve Got
With all the traveling I’ve been doing lately, I keep missing farmers’ markets (and even grocery store trips), and I’ve found myself throwing together some interesting meals. Today I’m sharing with you my Greens-Beans-and-Millet “Burgers”, but keep your eyes open for my other interesting, healthy, and totally slapped-together concoctions, including Cherry-Vanilla Coconut “Ice Cream” (coming soon!). ...
Free Hugs for Graduation!

Not surprisingly, the focus of my blog and newsletter topics of late has been staying cool and feeling refreshed in this summer heat. I’ve written ...

But those of you who subscribe to my newsletter should have received the July issue several days ago — all about cooling summer salads and seaweeds. If ...
Naturally Refreshing Drinks (Part II): Jugo de Sandia
Back in May, I told you that when I lived in Costa Rica I discovered my 2 favorite naturally refreshing drinks. In that original post, I wrote about agua de pipa (coconut water). And now, given this ridiculous heat wave we are experiencing, it’s time to mention the other: jugo de sandia (watermelon juice). Flashback ...
Ahimsa
Ahimsa. All week long that word has been inhabiting my thoughts. Ahimsa. But what does it mean? Yoga is much more than the collection of poses, stretches, and exercises that we practice when we go to a yoga class. About 2,000 years ago in India, Patanjali codified many of the existing yoga practices into a ...
