Have you ever had a friend ask you a question that was hard to answer? I was asked this question by another dear friend who has moved far away to the other side of the country almost, and another in our little group asked it as well. It’s How Do You Experience Me? I haven’t been brave enough to ask it yet, but my friend Heather said post this answer… Continue Reading
Spring Brings Renewal…Under My Kitchen Sink
Do you have one (or more) of those areas in your home that most of the time goes unnoticed, even though you use it frequently?

It’s been weeks…most of the summer, actually, since I’ve had any inspiration to write anything…or do anything, for that matter (oh thank you, Mitch Daniels and your Dumb Stupid Time…).

I’ve been learning a lot about “real” food, food that is nutrient dense and as close to its natural state as possible and not full of chemical preservatives, colorings, and flavorings. And thanks to A Peasant’s Feast eCourse through The Nourishing Gourmet, I’m also learning how to do it on a budget. Basically, what it boils down to is making the best… Continue Reading
