Living A Nourished Life
A nourished life is one lived with intention—where food, rest, connection, and joy are honored equally. It’s rooted in presence, guided by care, and feeds both body and spirit with vibrant food, love, and purpose.
It isn’t about perfection, but about tending to what matters most: good health, joyful movement, meaningful relationships, a comforting home, and a soul that feels fulfilled. It’s the salad and the slice of cake, the seaside walk, the table set with love, and the small daily rituals that become sacred.

In Defense of Aging
I’m fifty-five years old, and I have nothing injected in my face or elsewhere at this time. There was indeed a time in my life when I did get Botox around my eyes, but I thought it made me look strange. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not judging. People should do what works for them concerning cosmetic surgery and procedures. I’m not at all against having work done if it’s something they’d like to do. I know many women who get Botox and fillers who look amazing and are thrilled with the results. I don’t want society dictating how I should look one way or another, and any sort of looks/age/weight shaming, or any shaming for that matter, is just wrong.
