Back to Beautiful Mexico
This time last year, my family and I were waiting anxiously at the border to cross into Mexico. It was intense but so worth it. I am heading back down to Mexico to run our annual retreat but also to connect with many friends that we made on our trip last year. I can tell […]

Yoga In Action-Mexico
As many of you know, I believe that yogic philosophy can reach far beyond the mat. In fact, my practice on the mat is really just a small percentage of what I consider to be my path. As a yoga teacher but also as a human being, I feel that sharing energy, money, stuff, time […]
Fire-Roasted Tomato and Red lentil Soup
This is a go-to soup for me when it starts getting cold. I make it a lot on the boat. One of the things I love about it is that most of the ingredients should already be in your pantry. It is so simple but also seems exotic and hearty at the same time. Absolutely […]
Why Dream?
I have had an incredibly stressful few weeks. We moved out of the South End on Saturday which was of course bittersweet. I was hoping for closure but what I got instead was incredible unsteadiness and confusion. Basically, the woman who is supposed to be taking over the lease has led me on a journey […]
Ellen Degenres and my mother-in-law
You never know where you will get inspiration. My mother in law, Marty, and I have always been close. We’ve had many an argument too given that we are both so similar but that is another story. This past Thanksgiving, my husband kids and I went up to Vinylhaven, Maine, a tiny island off the […]
Who is Lululemon???
I find myself, up at 1am, unable to sleep, and distracted by my lack of doing more of something I am unsure of. I am worried about subletting the new studio. I am worried about whether I have inadvertently pissed off some home school mom. I am worried about feeling tired and cold and look […]
Links,Fall recipes, and Restaurants I love
I love to cook and have a million cookbooks. However, I still find it helpful and inspiring to get a recipe in my email box every now and then. Vegetarian Times has a great Dairy-Free and Vegan Recipe of the Week. This week it is Chocolate Pecan Pudding Pie. Sounds yummy right? Vegetariantimes.com I also […]
Building A Barn
We live in a barn. First, my husband built the boat-shed and then the living quarters around it. Our antique wooden sailboat is literally and figuratively the heart of the house. Her name is Cicada and Steven, my husband, grew up on this boat. His family traveled all over the world on this boat. So […]
Pumpkin Love Cookies
Vegan Pumpkin Love Cookies My husband, Steven, loved these cookies and he is a really tough cookie critic. He also does not particularly like or care whether they are healthy. These are just plain good and healthy enough to have for breakfast and of course full of love! I made these for the Open House […]
