One month ago I fell. It was a nasty fall. I tripped on uneven sidewalk in Brooklyn. It was a real bummer because I had just enjoyed a delicious vegan lunch at Wild Ginger with a friend. OUCH! My left knee broke my fall. I couldn’t move. I was scared. I had to be taken […]
I posted this photo on facebook and twitter last week and I can’t get it out of my mind. I was walking in Lenox, MA in the Berkshires a couple of weeks ago and this bold flower caught my attention – literally sticking its neck out from the trees and other flowers. I was with […]
The Universe is so savvy. I’ve been talking about starting my #2TO50 journey today and just a couple of days ago I was at Golden Bridge Yoga and saw this quote on a postcard. It nearly brought me to my knees. It’s exactly what’s been on my mind – being true to myself and making […]
When I’m leading my seasonal cleanse programs, the question I hear almost immediately is, “must I eat only organic food?” Sounds like such a simple question, but, can, in fact, be a complicated answer. Fortunately, there is a wonderful organization known as the Environmental Working Group (EWG) that does do a tremendous amount of work […]
It’s starting…today, April 24. Why today? Why not? Usually I wait for the “perfect” time – January, Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year), beginning of a new season, Monday morning, etc. But there is something in me right now that is saying, “Begin.

Bravo to CVS/Caremark!! How else can I say it? The company deserves a standing ovation for their very bold initiative: the declaration that it will stop selling cigarettes and other tobacco products at its CVS/pharmacy stores by October 1. It’s interesting that this move comes at a time in history when nutrition and food sources […]
McDonald’s for weight loss. Stop the presses!! Can this really be true? Sounds like a miracle for some people. It’s so bothersome, really, that this story got so much press, including coverage on The Today Show, when, in reality, there was nothing newsworthy about it. And, quite the opposite, it could actually be spreading false […]
Want to know a simple secret to happiness? Gratitude. Yes, it’s really that simple. [not always easy…I get that] It is very beneficial to write down the things in your life for which you are grateful. It can be as simple as a beautiful flower you saw on a walk or as profound as the […]
Today was a nice day. A quiet day. A relaxing day. Yet, I worked hard. I had a few calls scheduled with great people who are currently following my protocol for the Fabulous Fall Clean Eating Cleanse. It felt so good to connect with them 1:1 and hear how they are losing weight, sleeping better […]
