A little Lifeyum holiday message for you.
Short and sweet, knowing there are people for you to spend time with, wine to drink, walks after eating a little more than usual, and hopefully lots of hugging — even if it’s you hugging yourself. It’s so easy to fall into the...
The Perfect Chaturanga (and downward dog, too)
The other day I went for a walk. A real walk. The kind that my friend and life-altering teacher Jennilee introduced me to: one foot in front of the other; breath in, breath out; other thoughts? Oh, well. Back to the walk. Why does this matter? Because it’s...
Why it’s ok to stop chasing your dreams.
As a dyed-in-the-wool dream chaser, never thought I’d write those words. But it’s true: Chasing doesn’t work. Because chasing is the opposite of allowing. Force is the opposite of grace. And yet, I know I still push. And chase from time to time. And...
Three steps to easy living (from a wise, warm heart)
Our youngest just finished kindergarten with a sweet ceremony, cap and all. Blair and I have a lot of conversations. Recently she told me about the clip system at school, Ms. Peartree and Mrs. Z’s behavior management program. It went something like this: Blair:...
Don’t mind me, I’m just getting (green) juiced.

3 ways to feel good when you don’t (and a feel good festival in upstate NY).

Wine and yoga: That’s my kind of yoga.
OK, we’re not drinking wine while we practice yoga. But internationally acclaimed writer, philosopher, performance and movement artist Cameron Shayne is coming to Albany to play in the vineyard with us. The wine tastings are later in the day. Local yoga guides...
How dreams come true: Do one thing (at a time).
Do one thing. Hard to do, but that’s the key. One thing. (At a time.) I’m still on a high. Revved with the juice of being in the presence of thousands of souls, just like me, who want to feel good and do good in the world. Chef Ann Cooper rounded out the...
Great balls of lifeyum (raw, vegan, GF protein balls drizzled in chocolate)
Do you ever feel like the grim reaper at meal time? A total nag? Find candy wrappers under your kids’ beds? Maybe it’s just me. But when our then two-year-old was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis five years ago, I went into full-blown nutrition...feel good, do good
