August 10, 2012

Not too long ago I returned for an escape to Arizona. My cousin and I traveled to a lovely resort by the name of Miraval. The whole adventure began when she found a screaming deal and posted about it on her blog. I commented that a trip filled with yoga, spa treatments, and hot sun [...]

Sometimes you just gotta get out of town. A little distance from the everyday. If you live in the bay area Tomales Bay is the perfect destination. It is just a short beautiful drive, so you can fit it into that one day on your calendar that isn’t yet filled. As you wind along the [...]

Escaping to the Garden

March 2, 2011

I find that although I have not always had the greenest of thumbs, putting my hands in dirt often eases the weight of the world on my shoulders. I have also learned that with practice you can make your thumb greener. Mine, at this point, seems to be spottily/seasonally green… My garden has also taught [...]

Lessons Learned on a Rainy Bike Adventure

January 31, 2011

The view from our seats at the Boiler House I am back in the saddle again so to speak. Many ages ago I was an avid biker, not really by choice, but because I was a teenager who did not yet have a car, but did have a job across town. I think the fact [...]
