After all of these years I’ve learned no relationship is perfect and that’s okay. Somedays I will use food and somedays I will nourish myself with solitude, nature, and peace. It all belongs. That’s the balance I have learned. I refuse to mentally flog myself for eating a cookie. Cookies are good and I will eat them, just not the whole box (God willing).

So, that’s what this blog is about, healthy recipes, cookies, moving more, and I’ll share my trials and tribulations that I have gone and continue to go through. Not so I can receive attention, but hopefully so we can share in this life together. Sharing our stories helps us realize we are the same, travelers on the road to Peace.

I am so happy that you are here. Please share your story, offer encouragement and support in the comment section, help a fellow traveler. If you don’t want to join in the conversation, that’s okay, too. Read, cook, move, live. It all belongs.

A few more tidbits – I live in the Midwest with my husband (we were high school sweethearts) and 4 rescue cats, each one uniquely odd. I teach yoga and lead a Wellness retreat every year. I try to choose a different exotic location each time, since I like variety. I love my church, nature, coffee, zombies, baseball, television reruns, and Princess Bride.

You’re probably ready to start cooking, huh? As you wish…
