I am a writer after all. Sometimes I need a place to express thoughts, feelings, emotions and general insights. This is where I do that.
Some days pass where I forget where I came from - I won't lie. It's been so long since I was in the throes of the eating disorder that robbed me of so much peace that all I could think about was "righting my wrongs," and "being better." As if being too present, too here [...]
It took me 30 minutes to figure out what I wanted to eat this morning. Right after I decided I wasn't going to go to the yoga studio and that I wasn't in the mood to work out my attention was drawn to breakfast - the fridge is nearing emptiness, the resources are begging for [...]
If there is one thing I do well it's feed my body. So when I opted to take a month off of social media I figured why not document just what I mean. Let's get one important thing out of the way: does everything I eat need to be organic, "clean?" (by modern societal standards), [...]
Here is a concrete, no fluff, list of ways you can connect more deeply to your body so your choices can be made clearly, intuitively and in alignment with your intentions. But first - make sure this initial list is checked off = because if you're struggling to listen to your body and one or [...]
Eating will always be an essential gesture we make to ourselves. Vanilla almond based ice cream, date & pea protein balls, roasted pears. What is devotion? An earnest attachment to a cause. I began this blog post a few days ago. I got two paragraphs in and was saddened at my own recounting [...]
13 down, forever to go. The quarterly body reset - if I haven't reiterated it enough - has become my life. What a beautiful unfolding, and to share it with you has been the biggest gift of all. There's a memorable saying - be generous, because the greatest gifts we receive are those we give [...]
I have bragging rights : the body reset was born of Tequila and Chocolate Cake. Oh, and anger. Lots of rage. Yes. It's been three years since the commencement of the Body Reset and to say I'm proud is an understatement. I woke up the day after my son's 4th birthday - and 3 months [...]
I was given a list of the following questions to answer as to why a plant based diet may trump a meat/dairy based one. Morally, I don't like pushing anyone in any particular direction when it comes to food. Therapeutically, I 100% believe foregoing Dairy, Meat & Gluten support our bodies in healing, improved digestion, [...]
And here I was about to write some long winded rant about how meal prep is over rated. Only for A-types, not me (although I do appreciate a solid plan). Best I just eat my words. When I imagine meal prepping I see piles of Tupperware, pre-portion measurements and exacting ingredients - which makes my [...]
Today I leave for Costa Rica. I haven't left the country since 2006. That's a really long time for me - for someone who's lived in Switzerland, Thailand & Italy (and visited the neighboring countries) traveling became more a pastime and something that made me who I am today. When I boarded my plane from Reggio di Calabria in '06 the last [...]
