When I awoke this morning, there was a strange plan in my head. It was totally foreign to me and yet there it was. As the warm shower hit my skin I became more and more aware of it. The plan involved baking Morning Glory Muffins. I have never baked Morning Glories nor have I [...]
Sometimes, it’s very strange when and how life altering conclusions come to us and what processes those conclusions un-leash inside of us. One of my best friends has a business in which she raises and slaughters rabbits for dog food, restaurants and her own dinner. I told her that as a meat-eater for 43 years, [...]
A miraculous five minutes early to my appointment. The motor has been turned off but its rhythm still shakes my core. I close my eyes and try to breathe. The fat people, sitting on my chest, just laugh at me. The high pitched hum ringing in my ears stops all effort. Dang it! I want [...]
I used to think that food for the soul was incredible vistas….thought provoking spiritual writings….melodies that float through ones’ being. Now, I think food for the soul is cauliflower. The thought that “food for the soul” is actual food has been radical and life-changing. Even, after suffering with an undiagnosed food allergy that nearly killed [...]

I hastily pulled the car into the drive, got out and ran towards him standing in his beloved garage. Over the rattle of the compressor and through ear-muffs I shouted, “I’m going to kill her and the babies. By drowning. I’ve decided. Right now.” He followed me into the house and said, “I think it’s [...]
I can’t help but think fondly of those two books that came out – in what, the early 80s, maybe? – One was called “Real Women Don’t Pump Gas” and the other “Real Men Don’t Eat Quiche”. As a junior high school student looking for clues on what real women do, I devoured them but, [...]
Truth be known, January, February and March were challenging months. First, I was sick with a horrid cough for six weeks, then I witnessed a dog getting hit by a car (and when I reached out to try to get a number off his collar he about bit my hand in half which required a [...]
