Look what I found under the melting snow of our garden! There were several and they are delicious. But only one had this cool visual to offer-The lemon just gives you a sense of size. 😉

What a treat for me to see these first signs of spring appear in the mountains! Believe it or not, I’m not sick of ski season yet; in fact, I was bummed to miss a powder day yesterday since I had some neck pain I thought it was best not…

As a non-fiction writer, I have a great appreciation for those who write fiction. It sounds overwhelmingly difficult to me! While reading one of my favorite authors recently, Alice Hoffman, I came across a great paragraph which makes me think about what I often say to those who appear to…

Moving too fast without proper warm-up got me in trouble yesterday; I had the mother of all back spasms that made my cry out in pain every minute or more regardless of whether I was moving or stationary. First, I did 30 minutes of gentle Essentrics stretches and even…

Being in Montreal for 12 days of Essentrics training was a great adventure, exploring both the city and how my body responded to this intense, yet fun and highly informative, training. I continue to be impressed with how healing it can be to lengthen and strengthen muscles simultaneously–using no other…

One of the local organizations I am passionate about is Yampatika, a non-profit that promotes environmental education for adults and children. Not long ago, we had our biggest fundraiser, the Wild Edible Feast. One of my contributions was Elder Berry Cordial which is super good for immune support and 100%…
