When I first started exploring the topic of food sensitivities, I was referred to a doctor and a specific lab test by a friend of mine (thank you Patricia!). If you have read my e-book, you know how dramatically this changed my lifelong struggle with weight loss. I had such an amazing experience that I [...]

I’ve had some difficult days recently, struggling with some issues that are almost as stubborn as I am! So I took a break for a few minutes to page through my most recent copy of “O” magazine, where I found a partial quote that intrigued me from “High Tide In Tucson” by Barbara Kingsolver. I [...]

To survive, we must learn to be comfortable with change. To thrive, we must learn to anticipate and even create change. As Gandhi [...]

Tomorrow I travel back to San Francisco after spending a fabulous week with my Mom. I love spending time with her. We laugh and talk, put jigsaw puzzles together, and just enjoy being in each other’s company. If I could convince her to move to California, I would be very happy – but she wouldn’t [...]
