Intention

Intention. This word has been whirling and swirling in my head for the past few weeks. Probably because I just stepped into yet another entrepreneurial endeavor… driven by passion, yes. But also, intention. I began my Chocolate for Breakfast adventure with the intention of building a community of chocolate lovers who shared similar viewpoints on

Best of 2011

I began this post as a newsletter. As a list. I typed. And I typed. And I typed. For me, composing a newsletter is an all day affair. There’s the formatting.And the photos.And the links. There’s the, “Hmmmmmmmmm, how will this look in another browser?” And don’t forget the recipe. Everyone loves the recipe! And

Self-Care Slump

Do you ever feel like all you want to do is stay home, eat chocolate and crawl into your woman cave? That was me this past week. I hit a wall. It felt like steel. Cold. Hard. Blue. I’m a force in the world. A happy, resourceful, tenacious, spirit-rich woman. I don’t hit walls. I

12 Reasons to Shop at MOMs Organic Market (or a similar market near you)

Over-the-Moon About MOMs I’m over-the-moon excited about a new market that’s opening up in town: MOMs Organic Market. True confession: I’m a grocery store zealot. Not just any grocery store. I haven’t shopped in a large chain supermarket in many years. Can’t stand the lighting and my body can no longer tolerate genetically modified, chemical-laden

Gray Hair, Great Legs

I have this thing going on with my hair. And it’s all tied up in a tangle. Not the hair. The thoughts that take up residence in my head every time I look in the mirror or place myself in the hands of a hair stylist.. You see, I’m a holistic health counselor. A culinary

The Girl Effect

A few weeks ago, I shared a post I had seen on facebook. The post read: We need to teach our daughters the difference between a man who flatters her and a man who compliments her, a man who spends money on her and a man who invests in her, a man who views her
