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 Fun At The Spa

    This Lent, I am all about "detox" - both physically and mentally. As I mentioned before, I gave up coffee and have really not indulged much in wine. I also need to cut WAY back on sweets, which has been tough since my daughter's Brownie troop just delivered all their cookie orders (and of course we bought some of those delicious caloric time bombs...)

    Tomorrow I am scheduled for an herbal detox wrap at a local spa. I've been looking for one that used ingredients besides seaweed, because  I am wary about indulging in  idodine-based products since I have a shellfish allergy. I found an intriguing wrap that is reasonably priced and penciled my appointment into my calendar.

    However, now I am wondering:

    Is it considered "cheating" on my Lenten de-caffeination if I undergo a Green Coffee Body Wrap?

    It is not cheating - go and ENJOY it.

    Me being knowledgeable about all thinks lent say no it is not cheating and in fact it is encouraged.
