“For most people, the only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking, you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude” – Julia Child I’m a self-proclaimed bookworm and David likes to joke that I alwaysย have my nose stuck in a book. My favorite books are usually the ones that have been recommended to me. But I stumbled on… Read More
It was two weeks ago. I was running with David. I felt slow and heavy and in pain and it wasn’t the first time. I have been battling issues with my posture, pain in my joints and tight hips and hamstrings for well over a year. I’ve sought treatment, but mostly ignored the pain and hoped it would go away… Read More

But first, can we talk about last night ? After I returned home from my Junior League meeting, David and I… Read More
What. a.week. I am almost fully caught up after spending last weekend in Long Beach for the IIN Mega Conference and today I’m off to spend a few hours at a photography class. Photography = my new hobby. In case you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve started a new Women in Wellness series where I’m featuring some of the women… Read More
