I gave myself a present. I almost got the sales clerk to wrap it, however, then I did not want to waste the wrapping paper… I love this book, everything about it, the heaviness, the colors of the design, the photography, … and the best part, most of the recipes are under 45 min. prep…

Finding Grace
Some conversations I have had over the last few weeks remind me again that acceptance can truly be empowering. I have written about asking for grace before. One of the – in my eyes anyway – profound virtues of individuals I find inspiring is their ability to find grace in the face of adversary. What…
Indian Summer in Jena
My very first trip to Canada took me to Ontario in October of 1995. Shortly before we had seen a video about the Indian Summer in English class and when my Dad took me with him to Toronto for a few days, all I wanted was to visit Algonquin Park. So we rented a car…

Day 9: Happiness
Some days happiness seems to grow out of experiencing the small everyday things. But then there also days when life is full with that bursting-out-at-the-seams-with-joy kind of happiness… Share it!
Day 8: Grace
I have taken to asking for grace. Often my yoga teachers suggest to ask the universe for what I need to today. And I have taken to asking for grace. Having the grace to let go of things. Having the grace to accept what is. And having the grace to do so with love. I…
Day 7: Boundaries
Oh how easy it is to place limits upon myself and what I believe to be capable of.And how difficult to set boundaries with others. Clear lines… drawn in the sand at times get washed away quickly by the next wave. Then I build a „bridge“ to stay above the water surface. Creating another set…
