The past decade of my life was a deep exploration of self

I have tested my limits training for (and completing) a couple marathons and a 50k, certifying as a 200RYT yoga teacher, becoming a Reiki Master, studying to be a wellness coach, taking years of voice lessons, and much experimentation with diet (due to an unintentional discovery of gluten sensitivity - or possible celiac disease, apparently if you test after stopping eating wheat you’ll never get an accurate read on that one - over a decade ago). On this journey of self-discovery, I have given up gluten, committed to consuming organic foods as much as possible, partnered with CSA's, started home gardening, and have (mostly) eliminated processed sugar by shopping for whole foods and baking with fruits. I make some kind of physical activity a priority, be it a walk, run or weights and yoga at home. Movement is important to me.

In the past six years, I quit the corporate job I thought would be my place of employment until I retired, sold my car, got engaged, sold the home I thought I would grow old in, relocated my life, started working on all things creative & artistic (including home renovations) since arriving in my new hometown, and in our new (older) home, as well as helping my now husband run his business.

Finding time (and the wherewithall) to make my passion my purpose (writing, creating, sharing what I have learned with all those intrigued enough to cross this page) has proved more challenging than I knew possible. I have finally committed to making this way of life a practice, and I hope you find as much value as I do peace in sharing this process.
