A So Cal girl living in the Northwest and on a mission to live life to its fullest!
As Auntie Mame so famously says, “Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!”
Too many of us have become those starving suckers. We are stuck in a rut of waking up, working all day, coming home, watching TV and going to sleep, just to wake up and do it all again. We may add a workout to the routine, take-out, a night out, or a movie, but most of our time is spent in the same boring patterns. It’s time to stop going hungry!
This blog is about living, evolving, indulging and doing what we can every day to get the most out of life.
Food will be featured heavily because I love it. I do not subscribe to the “food is fuel’ school of thought. I believe in the smell of homemade bread and chocolate chip cookies, the delight a tiny taste of triple crème brie can tempt forth, and the sensuality of a creamy chocolate mousse. Whoever said “nothing tastes as good as thin feels” never tasted fresh chevre topped with black cherry confit. Food provides nourishment, comfort, creativity, and a fail proof way to connect with others. It’s time to stop obsessing and start enjoying.
Another way to really experience life? Travel. Whether it’s in your hometown or immersed in another culture half a world away, nothing will breathe new energy into your life faster than a get away.
Most of all though, this is about finding ways to steal little moments out of even the busiest day to enjoy and experience life. Let’s get to it and “Live, Live, Live!”

Why Do We So Quickly Fail To Keep Our New Year’s Resolutions?
