A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools. ~Spanish Proverb
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Or even better…”Your stomach shouldn’t be a wastebasket.” -Dori Friedberg Whether it’s an ancient Spanish Proverb, or a modern day nutritionist, we all know we need to take care of our bodies. Some more than others. I’ve always felt I was on the above average side in eating a healthy …
“Autumn…the year’s last, loveliest smile.” ― William Cullen Bryant
I seriously love autumn. I love the crisp mornings, sunny days, and spectacular colors! It’s been a wonderful summer, and I am feeling blessed. Daylight savings time ended yesterday, so the days are getting shorter. Now it’s time to start counting the reasons to be Thankful, because Thanksgiving will be here soon. My mom has …

Cruising with Top Chef!
I am a Top Chef fan. I’m talking, big, HUGE, annoyingly fanatical. I own all 10 seasons of Top Chef, 4 seasons of Top Chef Masters, and 2 seasons of Top Chef Just Desserts (eh, not nearly as good, but when there are no new regular shows, I watch it). I watch them over and …
Life Changes, and New Experiences
The last few months have been a time of introspection for me. My days have changed so drastically and I am still trying to figure out what, exactly, I should be doing with my life. J and I are spending much more time in our two favorite places (Colorado and North Carolina), now that …
Being Thankful
David Shatzman I met David through my mother in law, Helene, probably 15 or more years ago, when he decorated her house in Florida. Fast forward to today, we have both undergone a lot of changes in our lives, and somehow both landed in North Carolina. The photo above is his beautiful property. He drove …
