2020 Valentines 💜
My new friend (and total kindred spirit) recently wrote one of my favorite blog posts about a home/interior “design”. She has a way of sharing the “imperfect” things in a way that makes them so beautiful/makes people think more deeply about what real beauty is! So often it in the world of interior design all things “imperfect” are dismissed as needing repair/needing renovation or put on some…

Hello Fall!
Hello all and hello fall! I am really getting outside of my comfort zone here and this is my first post done from my cell phone! I’m so modern! Haha but I figure if I may post more often if I can figure out how to post from my phone :)!
This is an important time of year to spread awareness of the severity of Vitamin D deficiency (and not just in Maine/New England; this is becoming a problem in…

Magnesium (and Mola Mola) Monday!
Magnesium (and Mola Mola) Monday!
Happy Monday! We were soooo excited to spot these mola molas (also called sunfish)! I remember looking at a picture of these in an Encyclopedia and being fascinated by their weirdness (and huge size; they can get 3000+ pounds!!!).
I hope you enjoy the info about Magnesium; it is #1 on my Top 10 List of Health tips!

Peaks to Portland 2019: A Swimming Story
Peaks to Portland 2019: A Swimming Story
Swim stories; I read a lot of them with wide eyes imagining what it would be like to swim out into a cold ocean. We were living in St. Louis, Missouri and it was January 2017 when I learned of ice swimming (elite athletes who swim in open water for long distances at freezing temperatures in just a swim suit). I was a competitive swimmer in high school but had never heard of such a thing (I mean,…

Summer Begins 2019
Do you ever make a list of the cool people that you know/meet? I make mental lists all the time of the interesting people I learn from. I think about how their strengths/unique perspective can improve my ability to serve others as a practitioner (and also my life in general!)! It can bring a lot of joy to slow down and think about the SPECIFIC DETAILS of why people you know are awesome. Since…

Slow Down! (?)
Slow Down?
It can be so challenging to slow down in spring when the earth is bursting with life and you have 731 ideas/goals/activities/to-dos you are working on!
Being creative and getting into the flow of your passions is very important and if you are speeding through your daily work you can miss a lot of inspiration/knowledge. Especially the knowledge gained by information processed from all…

Grounded in Health
“Grounded” is a great adjective for health. When you love gardening/the dirt/sand/rocks/THE GROUND as much as I do, the concept of being “grounded in health” certainly includes a life lived with deep considerations for/activities involving the LITERAL ground! Understanding where your food comes from and watching it slowly grow deepens your relationship with food and therefore improves your…

January 2020; Happy New Year!
Hello and Happy 2020! I skipped over a “Best of 2019” post but will recap and say it was a wonderful year; I think the very best yet for many, many reasons. And 2020 is off to a great start; all these pictures were from our galavanting around Maine and also a few from a weekend in Vermont visiting family.
I think at the start of this new decade I am feeling extra nostalgic for the happy/special…

(Nearly) Wordless Wednesday
This common eider may have been sick or injured so we watched from a distance and then wrote “DO NOT TOUCH” in the sand around it!
This is Willard Beach, which provides a good vantage point for my upcoming swim (Peaks to Portland Swim to Benefit Kids: CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!!)
The swim route goes past Fort Gorges (seen beyond the lighthouse jetty in the above picture).
