Focusing on healthy, active living has been my MO for more than ten years (and I do still eat dessert, everything in moderation!). I enjoy creating gluten-free recipes for baked goodies, going on athletic adventures while running or doing yoga, and to love to share life experiences to encourage you to do what feels right for you (you know that deep-in-the-belly-yes feeling that you sometimes ignore that makes you nervous and excited). Here, you get the truth: un-polished and full of humanness. Because I don't know another way to be in this world.

Enjoying this morning walk beauty before the frost Enjoying this morning walk beauty before the frost sets in and changes our landscape. . Today marks one month post-surgery for me. I’ve been focusing on the basics: answering phone calls for the business, getting in a short walk each day, eating 3 meals a day, drinking plenty of water, showering... the BASICS. . Overall, I’m feeling wonderful. I just went through my first cycle post-hysterectomy and not living through that pain and discomfort again is life-changing! Truly remarkable. . I realize that I have started feeling ... displeased with my life a bit - focusing on the basics has taken my attention away from the fun & creativity. I miss sitting and playing with paint, fabric, baking, and sharing those things with you. . So, adjusting my days to make more time for creative time is my new objective - setting the phone aside for a few hours and coming back to it again in the afternoon will give me a bit more freedom. . I recently purchased a fun handmade paint palette from @addisonandsedgwick and I am so excited to simply play with no expectations with these colors. . I hope you are all making time to feed your souls as well as managing the basics of life. . So much love to you all. 🤍 . . . . . #focusonthebasics #maketimetofeedyoursoul #paintingfun #baking #walking #getoutside #cleaneatshappyfeets #remembertoeat #takecareofyourself #surgeryrecovery #beauty #dahlias #roses #flowers
This is the face of a girl who is unintentionally This is the face of a girl who is unintentionally participating in a facial cleanse. . Have you ever hear of such a thing? It’s when you wash your face and then put nothing on it - no moisturizer, toner spray or oils. And at first I thought it would be torture. My face felt tight, hot, so uncomfortable. But soon, the feeling faded, and my skin felt normal. I was relieved! . Why would I do this, you wonder? To be honest, surgery prep. No lotions allowed - at all. And I’m ok. Don’t worry - but if you’re curious, please keep reading for more details. . I’ve been really quiet these past six months, and much of the last year. There are many thing I am grappling with including a personal decision about which surgery to pursue for the most peace of mind. . For those of you who do not know, I have chosen to have a partial hysterectomy. Yes, I am young - currently 38. No, I do not have kids, and honestly I have never had the desire to be a mom. Cancer & fibroids run in my family, and I have chosen to remove my uterus after polyps have reoccurred after a more simple procedure to remove them a few years ago. . This was not a simple decision. Surgery is one of the most scary things to me, and this procedure is not something I chose on a whim. After pelvic exams, three separate appointments with my doctor to discuss, two additional phone calls with more questions, questioning women who have had the procedure, and taking a good look at my family history and the number of regular hormonal years I have left to continue to grow abnormal tissue, I made the decision to go ahead with this surgery. . In 10 minutes I’ll get out of bed to take my last shower with surgical soap scrub to prep for my appointment this morning. I have barely slept, but I know this is the right choice for me. . Honestly, I feel extremely fortunate to be able to have a hysterectomy without having to convince my doctor of all the reasons I need this done. I was listened to and my concerns and physical pain were honored. And that I am in a position to be able to pay for this surgery is also a blessing because even though I have insurance this will still cost thousands of dollars out of pocket. . Continued 👇
A simpler time. Blue sky, golden blooms, and refle A simpler time. Blue sky, golden blooms, and reflections seen on a walk only six days before the fires started. . I look forward to clean skies and enjoying the change of leaves and trees of fall which seems to suddenly be upon us. . Finding beauty in every day is not always easy, but it is a goal I hold near & dear. . . . . . #beforethefirestarted #neighborhoodwalk #theoncedailywalk #dailywalk #dailywalkviews #lifemusings #fall #flowers #sunshine #alwayslovinlife #cleaneatshappyfeets
Easy dinner. . Black bean pasta (from @traderjoes Easy dinner. . Black bean pasta (from @traderjoes ) with homemade, garden-fresh marinara, goat Gouda garnish, and a couple slices of my favorite gluten-free “Rustic Baguette” from @newcascadia (found in my area at the local Market of Choice). . I’m trying to make all of my meals and make them easy right now. I’ve found myself bogged down with what-if’s, to-do’s, and choices, so I’m letting my days be more fluid. I’m taking more pauses, sitting with the cat, letting meal-making take time, and doing only as much as the day allows. . I feel lucky to live in an area where we can grow so much produce, where I can source really good gluten free bread options, and that I have the freedom to take time to slow down. . This meal is simple, satisfying, and enjoyable to make. I’m trying to make my life more like easy cooking. 😂 (although the stack of dishes after this meal is not small, time to get to the washing!) . Hope you all have the space this Sunday to pause and enjoy a good meal. Hopefully with someone you love (I’ve got Emma the cat snuggling me now). . . . . . #easydinner #glutenfree #newcascadiatraditional #glutenfree #taketimetopause #enjoylife #letgoofoverwhelm #growyourownfood #locallysourced #lovetocook #cookingismyothermeditation
Life has a funny way of quieting us down when need Life has a funny way of quieting us down when needed, even when all the world seems in chaos. . I’ve had a lot on my mind lately with decisions related to my health, racial injustices, family illness, and a garden that requires much attention. So much that pulls for my attention, I have allowed myself to put off - and put away - all the things that bring me joy. . I adore sunsets, and taking pictures of their glorious colors. I am thrilled with baking and making delicious healthy food, and I find painting projects immensely satisfying. . In times that stress finds me over-thinking every single thing, I often shut down. I used to escape into books, now I find myself stuck in my head with a reel repeating phrases, videos, moments over and over in an attempt to learn, find a solution, or figure out how to use my voice. Often, to no avail. Because I get stuck. Stuck in fear. . Inaction brings nothing about. Everyone knows this, and my own inner critic knows it well - telling me “I can’t” to all sorts of things. . I guess there comes a time in every ones life when they realize they can no longer sit by and watch without saying what is in their mind or heart. When we no longer care how others react to us. . We realize that being true to ourselves is more important than everyone liking us. . As a people pleaser, I have known this to be true but never felt able to act on my own thoughts until very recently. Might have to do with the hormonal changes that come with peri-menopause, but you can bet on seeing more real life here. I’ve finally found my voice and with it, developed some boundaries, 38 years into life. . I think the turning point for me was quitting my corporate job. So much freedom came after that decision. . Have you felt a shift in yourself? Do you have a different way of being in life now, different than in your earlier years? . To more sunsets and painting projects... 🤍 . . . . . #liveyourlife #betruthfultoyourself #alwayslovinlife #sunset #ilovesunsets #oregon #oregonisbeautiful #lovethisplace #perimenopause #nolongeralwayspeoplepleasing #livelifeforyou
My constant companion, Emma. . Last night, I was r My constant companion, Emma. . Last night, I was reminded that a healthy life is not guaranteed, in our pets, nor ourselves. . This little girl has been having seizures, two in the last two weeks and a third last night that was at least half a minute. And can I tell you, the helpless feeling watching her laying and shaking knowing I could do nothing but console her when it was over was awful. . I don’t know what is causing this condition in my little lady, and I am tormented by the knowing that it appears to be getting progressively worse. . Hopefully a trip to the vet tomorrow will shed some light, and we can help Emma live more calmly and prevent future seizures. . FYI: cat seizures often start with a call for attention, and can include running in circles (what Emma did the first two seizures, around 3am, and I thought she’d had a weird nightmare), vomiting, seizing, inability to walk (loss of control), temporary loss of vision, and in Emma’s case, she didn’t seem to know me immediately after the episode. . She has appeared completely normal today, which is a relief, and if you feel so inclined, I’d love it if you would keep my little Emma in your thoughts. . . . . . #catlady #catsofinstagram #mylittleemma #lovethiscatsomuch #shefollowsmeeverywhere #mysnugglebuddy

I am not neutral. I am listening, learning, and wo I am not neutral. I am listening, learning, and working to become actively anti-racist. I’ve been pretty quiet, lately. The collective grief and pain is real, and I have never really acknowledged this part of me, but I now fully understand I am one of the “HSP” highly sensitive persons who can Feel Everything. And it is exhausting. And I have cried, alone, reading, listening to stories of Black men & women, and I am committed to helping move our world through this change. I used to numb myself (from everything), it was the way I could do so much and power through all the work and activities that kept me distracted. I am committing to staying present, and working through my un-learning, putting words, dollars, and talents to good use. I’m not sure what all of this looks like, yet, but I’m working on it. ✍🏻 by @stuffgracemade (downloadable fliers available from her profile, or purchase this art for a good cause!) Thank you, Grace, for your art! #standupforjustice #stopoppression #dontbeneutral #becomingantiracist #dothework #listenandlearn #ignoranceisnotbliss
