I move to Henry’s farm … tomorrow!  This time a little scarier though as I go alone.  no dogs.  no daniel.  our family temporarily broken up.  and I think  I am ready to work.  and learn.  and be on my own for a little while.  not totally on my own. independent. Things I look forward [...]

so hectic! preparing to move!  huzzah! craziness!

change is brewing here…in our lives and our world.  The spring arrives…arrives arrives…this morning our clocks set forward an hour and it is a little darker when we wake, slash day by day soon to be lighter and lighter, day by day.  Now 40 and 50 degree days are upon us and we breathe in [...]

Here it is.  another year.  another National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is upon us.  2010.  It seems that right now…that this year…I know less and less people who are talking about eating disorders.  Maybe it is because I am talking less about eating disorders.  I am continually further and further in time from that time [...]

I am endlessly grateful for this day.  There is this “snowstorm” thing in Chicago today, and everything is SNOW SNOW SNOW.  In all directions.  The streets, the cars, the trees, the sky, my eyes are snow snow snow.  I feel happy and excited and alive to be in this wonderland of snow.

I am reading this book, NOURISHING TRADITIONS, these days.  learning about lacto-fermentation, and animal fats.  Thinking my knee wouldn’t get stiff if I had more raw milk in my life.  This morning I think I baked one of the delicious soda breads of my life, and I blame it on lacto-fermentation, although it could be [...]

It is September now in the suburbs of Chicago.  Autumn has arrived, slash was it every really summer, slash autumn usurped the summer and continues now in the suburbs of Chicago in September. And with winter approaching, I feel excited when I imagine my life as a bipedal.  I have intentions (that may or may [...]

I’ve got lots of blogging to do.  I wanted to write about the half marathon we ran…the blissy-bliss half-marathon we ran.  The half-marathon where we ran and I felt so excited and I smiled the whole time and hooted and cheered, the half-marathon where I ran farther than I’ve ever run so far and my [...]
