Through the Fire
Cooking our way into a new relationship with food!
Welcome to our collective Journey through the fire. Fire transforms. Fire burns away the old and makes room for the new. Let’s explore together how to make the Kitchen a sacred space, how cooking can change the way we feel about food and the way we feel about feeding ourselves and others. We will celebrate how we make miraculous changes in our bodies, hearts, and spirits . I invite you to embark on this Journey through the Fire.
A new car! I almost wish I had taken a photo of the new and the old side by side so you would see what I saw, but I’m also relieved I didn’t. I was embarrassed by the condition of my good old trusty 2002 Toyota Corolla. Her engine was still good but boy was… Continue Reading
I’ve been thinking a lot, maybe too much, about self care lately. I am exploring the world of Ayurveda medicine a bit, looking at what in my diet I can change up, what can I do differently to help me feel better ? I’d like to feel better physically, having varying degrees of inflammation,… Continue Reading
I love a good cup of tea. One of my favorites is chai. Chai is simply the word for tea in many Eurasian languages. What we in America have come to know as Chai is more accurately, masala Chai, originating in India. There are likely as many variations on chai as there are villages in… Continue Reading
I wrote a story a little more than a year ago. I recently shared it with a friend and she thought it would make a great blog post, so here it is! It is my story of my love of dancing. Some years, dancing has played an important role in my life, other years… Continue Reading
This is a revised version of a post from September 19, 2015. I am on a cleanse this week. I’m participating in a 7 day Ayurvedic cleanse . I have been curious about Ayurveda for years but apparently not curious enough to do anything about it until now. I also have been sort of stuck and… Continue Reading
I haven’t mentioned my book, Through The Fire, cooking our way into a new relationship with food, in quite a while. Yes, I would still love to have you buy it and read it. It’s on Amazon or ask for it at your local independent bookstore. One of the sections in the book has to… Continue Reading
I have been in an outdoor exercise class for 7 years or maybe a little longer. Now we are a small hearty band of over 55 yr olds, with the exception of our wonderful fearless instructor. Our needs have changed over all those years. For me, now, it is about keeping the strength I have.… Continue Reading
“So far I’ve always kept my diet secret but now I might as well tell everyone what it is. Lots of grapefruit throughout the day and plenty of virile young men.” … Continue Reading
Any of you remember that “game”? I hated it, as you can imagine after you read a few more paragraphs. I haven’t written a deeply personal heart filled post in a while. While writing about things that are important and interesting ( to me, anyway,) I haven’t delved into some things which have been… Continue Reading
My last post was about staying healthy in the winter time. A few days later… yep, you guessed it. Boom, here comes the crud. Fever, chills, achey, panic. That part lasted a few days, then I have just been exhausted. I’ve cancelled this, postponed that. Now I am better. Still tired, some aches in… Continue Reading
