June 18, 2022
Chia pudding

I love it in small cups with a little coconut whipped cream on top to feel a little fancy. ¾ cup vanilla almond milk ¼ cup chia seeds ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (not coconut cream) 1 teaspoon matcha (green […]

Puffed Apple Pancakes

Time is a Funny Thing

January 20, 2022

Time is a funny thing.  The other day someone was stunned to find out I started yoga well over 30 years ago.  Honestly, I started pretty young, but I’m stunned too.   And then in talking to someone from my teacher training, we couldn’t remember how many years ago that was… I blame recent events because […]

On being southern in the snow.

January 15, 2022
Southern Snowman

(Originally written and shared in 2014) It’s been written about, and I was going to skip it, but I can’t. “The north” mocks “the south” every time we freak out in the snow.  But there is a major point the news misses: we’re awesome in the snow. I have to break this down.  Sure, we […]

Watermelon soup

Nothing against the slice and eat method, but I absolutely love watermelon in this chilled soup that hits all the taste buds! This makes a blenders worth, 4 smallish servings, or a generous amount for 2. It’s so quick and easy you can absolutely make more than one batch. 1/4 of a decent sized watermelon […]

July 10, 2021
Moon - taken by me in 2007

I went to a virtual new moon circle tonight. There was nothing really wrong with it, and there was equally nothing really extraordinary about it. The internet was splotchy, it wasn’t really interactive, I didn’t feel like I had everything I needed, and I spilled my tea right as it started. Twice. I quickly decided […]

The fire you can hold

July 3, 2021

I have always been fascinated by sparklers. It’s clear at a glance they have explosive energy, bits of light and specks of fie radiating in all directions – not at all the calm steady burn of a candles flame. And yet that display of raw energy poses virtually no threat and I can safely watch it burn, hold it just inches from my body, with no fear. I’m still captivated by the fire you can hold.
