Breakfast Protein POPSICLES! (guest post)

by

  Confession: On Saturday mornings, when I was about age 7, my little brother and I used to sneak into the kitchen while Mom was sleeping and eat Fudgesicles for breakfast while we watched cartoons....OK, well, maybe we ate a few Fudgesicles...OK, OK! Yes! Between us, we finished off the box! Shameful, right?! Well, ya know what, Moms and Dads? I say it is time to EMBRACE the ... Continue Reading

How do you run with a dog?

by

As we've previously established I'm not really a runner. Sure if you wanna play a game of BADMINTON or KICKBALL Im your woman----but regular, traditional, non-tutu'ed running? Not so much for me. Yes if you wanna hold my hand & pull me along there's a *chance* Ill follow and run behind you. Traditional running was not so much for me-----until it was. Recent life changes ... Continue Reading

If we had coffee…

by

Ahhhh People. It's time.Ā  Ive missed our coffee dates. It's time for us to hang, chat *and* get all kinds of BLUNT & over-share'y. This time, however, we're heading to my new (fingerquote) office (unFQ). My Oakland coffee-version of Cheers and, if youre not a coffee lover as am I, you can even choose to get Kombucha (!) If we had coffee I'd drag you outside to one of the ... Continue Reading

It’s COOP day!

by

To know me for a while is to recall how I used to be the CRAZZZY DOG LADY. It all began with our black lab, Barkley. We loved us some Barkley and yet he didnt seem as happy as he could be. He seemed lonely. So, once he demonstrated he was responsible enough to care for a pet (I kid. I kid),Ā  we bestowed upon Barkley a puppy. A companion. A (longstoryshort) bullmastiff from AFRICA. I ... Continue Reading

How do you FRAME yourself?

by

(A small sampling. I am, indeed, an addict.) Ok, People. Allow myself....to date myself. To know me. To *really* know me. Is to realize I aspire to be Elton John. (if you're young & befuddled please to see caption under photo above) It's addiction so raging & pricey Ive been informed decided I was allowed no other. Fancy shoes? Nah. For the most part Im happy with ... Continue Reading

Of KĆ¼bler-Ross and CARBS.

by

  A few years ago a friend was diagnosed with cancer. Her entire village rallied around her & I was honored to help brainstorm her nutrition plan. Less than specific foods we talked about how her tastes would be forced to shift (she was a self-proclaimed junk food junkie) & I shared with her how I weaned myself from sugars and slowly became an intuitive eater. We villagers ... Continue Reading

CHI RUNNING

by

Please to welcome MARCIA. After my experience with MOVING MEDITATION I grew curious about Chi Running.Ā  What is it? Would I like it? How would I ever know? The answer is *always* found in our tribe....     I didnā€™t intentionally become a ChiRunner. I just ran. I heard things like ā€œShe runs on her toesā€ often enough to think something was ā€˜wrongā€™ with my stride. So I ... Continue Reading
