Do whales get anxious before their treks across the ocean to their winter homes? Do the mountains tremble as the first flakes of snow dance around their peaks? And the trees...do they cry out in pain when the winds blow their branches bare? No, I think it is just us,...
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of kapha dosha. There is not a woman alive who could not benefit from kapha dosha. Come to think of it, all people will benefit from befriending this principle made...
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of pitta dosha. I love how much I love things. My passion for writing, walking, cooking, Ayurveda, tall trees, picking wild blackberries, backyard gardening,...
As I said in this post, Ayurveda is meant to be contemplative. This is my contemplation on the wisdom of vata dosha. Like any wind, vata dosha picks up whatever is not weighted down. The drier a leaf, the easier it blows across a road. And where that leaf will end up...

I describe my paternal grandfather as an honorable elder in my life. One thing he taught me from a young age was that we learn from our mistakes. Not that it mattered when I broke off the head of the carved onyx knight from his chess set. Or when I neglected to tell...
Is the dirt worse these days or is it that we know too much? When my daughter was 16 months old, I posted a picture on a private online photo album of her drinking from a hose. It was pure and innocent, a refreshing reminder of how I often cooled down on hot days as a...
Karen, we all know her. Or do we? The first time I heard the Karen trope -- you know, the middle-aged white woman who demands to speak with a manager -- was early in the days of the pandemic. It took me nearly a year to be called one myself. The experience let me in...
