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.

Sitting on our deck, I’m watching a gaggle of wild turkeys in front of me scratching the dirt and pecking at dried-out grass fronds. They are a nervous bunch. Four of the twenty birds are caught in our fenced yard, and in a panic. Ric goes to open the gate and shoo...
