What does the phrase “Mother’s Day” conjure up in your mind? Here’s a list of my thoughts: Only three days left and I’m in Canada where mail is pokey slow and I didn’t buy my mom a card. sigh. I’m flying home on Mother’s Day after two glorious weeks with my daughter. This trip wasn’t [...]
Tuesday morning I woke up gasping. I could hardly get out of bed. The pain in my lower back and hips was excruciating. Slowly I rolled over to put my feet on the floor, grasping the edge of the mattress and using the bedside table for leverage. In the hallway I allowed myself to whimper [...]
When I first visited Well of Life I didn’t think I was overweight. According to “the charts” I was fine for my age and height. I went there to find out why I was so tired and achy. When Cynthia asked me if I felt bloated, I shrugged. Quietly she responded, “Do you know what [...]

Just found this article on another blog; I’d like to know what you think about it. Seems my health choices of the past year put me in danger of having “orthorexia nervosa” much like anorexia nervosa. At what point do I cross over the line from pursuing health to becoming a pure food fanatic? I [...]
Seems I’m not the only one who cares about the food choices Americans are making. I’ve been talking about Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, now I can add the US military’s Mission: Readiness to the list. Mary Clare Jalonick of the Associated Press reported that today Capitol Hill will be digesting [...]
