I have to tell you that at 46 years of age, my periods are at times like Moses parting the Red Sea. They are not something that one ignores or takes lightly, or is ever unprepared. I pray for a swift and painless menopause, but I know realistically, I have years to go.
As some of [...]
I have had a glorious day so far, my first full day on Block Island. It is in the low 80’s with a nice ocean breeze. I have synthesized my vitamin D for the day, and have then slathered my mineral-based sunscreen all over my tanning body. I have been walking and biking more than [...]
Good morning everyone! And a beautiful one it is. I sit hear in the drive of the Atlantic Inn on Block Island (because I am using the wireless Internet from the Inn next door!) as I watch a beautiful sunrise at 5:40am. I am a sucker for a beautiful sunrise, especially over water.

I am not a summer person. In fact, I much prefer the cold winter months. Even when my job on the horse farms had me working outside 365 days a year, I still preferred breaking ice on a water trough with a sledgehammer to swatting flies and wiping sweat from my face. These days, what [...]

Okay, I’m not a real vegan, but I am a temporary one for now. You see, my annual, always stone-cold-normal bloodwork showed that my thyroid was a bit out of synch, and upon further testing, it looks like I have a touch of autoimmune hyperthyroidism– at least on paper. I have no symptoms, except an [...]
We are a generation of sunscreen worshippers, the children of the original sun worshippers, no doubt. We have heard all the reports of skin cancer scares and sun damage, and we, as a generation have sworn to never leave home without sunscreen. I, too, always wore my SPF 45 while I was working on the [...]
well, it’s the first morning with my new site and my new blog. How exciting!! So much to think about and so much to say!
In the upcoming weeks, I will be posting on a variety of topics, not to be limited to food, cooking and eating, but also gardening, self-care, exercise—it’s about food, but it’s [...]
