I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    More Helpful Hints

    I received an interesting email-newsletter from Dannon Corporation today (yanno - the yogurt people.)

    Apparently not only is Christmas merch being pushed put onto store shelves by halloween, but New Year's Resolution tools are being offered before Thanksgiving!  Actually I find resources like this quite helpful, especially when I'm busy obsessing over things related to my bod and its semi-shabby state.

    Create a free acount and you can plan a health/lifestyle/fitness routine and journal it, calculate funthings like body mass, caloric intake, and more.

    It's all on Dannon's "Light 'n Fit"page here.

    Or if fitness isn't on your radar screen you can go to Dannon's page of recipes to find some fab ideas for dessert and more...

    I have a problem with most diets...because almost all of them want you to eat yogurt, or drink milk....both of which I detest. But, I never know what to put in its place!

    <em>calculate fun things like body mass, caloric intake, and more</em> It's official you need to get out more - these things are not fun they make me cringe. I will be on the next flight so sign the babysitter up!
