What do you think of when you hear “salad”? If you’re like most people, you probably see a bowl of iceberg lettuce, some cucumbers and tomatoes and think that without tons of dressing it doesn’t have a lot of flavor. What if I could show you otherwise? Dill is a great way to amp up […]
“Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.” ~Yogi Berra Whatever you’re trying to achieve in life, state of mind matters. The mental game can be the difference between success and failure. This is true for sports, lifestyle changes and any other goals you set for yourself. A Win 108 Years in […]
If you’re anything like me, you’ve struggled to feel like you fit in with your peers. I always felt “not good enough,” “not smart enough,” “not pretty enough,” “not skinny enough.” It’s enough to make your head spin, yep, spinning all the way to the candy counter. Indeed, there’s nothing like chocolate and sugar to […]
Most people think of carrots as an orange root vegetable that’s good for dipping in hummus and guacamole, not to mention great for sweetening fresh vegetable juice. They’re actually so much more than that. Prior to the 15th– or 16th-century, purple, yellow and red were the only color carrots that were cultivated for consumption […]

We all know what can happen during the week – last-minute meeting, traffic, deadline gets moved up – and self-care gets left […]
Doesn’t it seem as if New Year’s Eve was last week? And here we are in March. The last month in the first quarter of 2015. Or the first month of my renewed MINDFULNESS. #MindfulinMarch I’m not one for New Year’s Resolutions and didn’t make any for 2015. I have, however, set intentions. There are […]
In my last post I felt like Humpty Dumpty. Since then I’ve felt like a turtle. A VERY slow moving turtle. I’ve been going to physical therapy three times a week. It is SO hard. It is an incredible reminder of how amazing the human body really is, and how important it is to take […]
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 […]
