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.

Polar Nights and Northern Lights of Tromsø
Since I was a child listening to my mother’s stories about the boats that would weave their way through the fjords to bring letters and necessary goods to little towns and villages up north where Santa lived, I have wanted to visit northern Norway. This Christmas, I did.
My Favorite Cinnamon Buns

Meditation in Snow and Silence
On this bitterly cold day across most of the United States, I come to you from Bergen, Norway, where I am spending the Christmas holiday with family.
One Christmas while in the Colorado mountains, I was overwhelmed by the season – too much emphasis on buying the next big thing for gifts, frantically shopping, cooking, sending out cards, and ensuring everything was perfect. I took a walk in the woods to clear my head and breathe. I thought I’d reshare this post I wrote when I emerged from that walk.
