‘Tis is the season of snowglobes. Those little mini winter wonderlands, magically swirling with sweet scenes, and sometimes accompanying music, activated by the twist of a knob below. As I unpacked our little collection to deck the proverbial halls last weekend I was reminded of how similar we are to snowglobes. This season with all …
I’ve been an apple crumble machine this week, making and refining this recipe three times (yes!). The apples have been so delicious and plentiful this time of year in New England and I was determined to make an apple crumble that the whole family could enjoy that was gluten and dairy free, and I think …
Are you thinking the Wild West? No, I’m talking about the brain. We know so much and yet so little about this vital organ. I seem to be flooded with information lately (two podcasts, a webinar, and an article) so I am taking my cue from the universe (I hear you!) and sharing it. Why? …
Sometimes you just have to go for it. That message was reinforced this past weekend. My husband researched a swimming hole in New Hampshire that we went to with our son after a good, sweaty hike up Mount Cardigan. The swimming hole, aptly called “Sculpted Rocks,” offered several steep spots to jump into a …
What is it about a berry crumble?! It just feeds the soul. I love the recipe below, reswizzled to be gluten free. As soon as the berries are out in the marketplace I scoop them up and get crumbling….my family is always grateful…and for a moment I’m wearing that invisible queen crown again 🙂 So …

Today was a day where I rolled up my sleeves and got to work on the piles of paperwork at the desk. True confessions: it’s never something I rush to do, and the pile seems to get higher and higher until it verges on toppling, sometimes actually toppling–that’s when I know it just isn’t optional. …
It’s a snowy, blustery day in New England. We are hunkering down through the storm (it’s a long one, started last night, and is still snowing this evening….). And since I’ve been studying for my advanced yoga teacher training, at this time I am drawn to the yoga teaching of “Pratyahara” or the withdrawl of …
I just love the January energy of fresh starts and hope that people are finding inspiration and motivation to sustain their own transformations, whatever they may be! Recently I’ve been busy launching new yoga classes, meeting with new clients, and prepping for two talks which are both this Wednesday! My first talk is on the …
