Cook up this classic sauce in one pan, then toss with spaghetti for a simple midweek meal. It’s budget-friendly, too, making it a great meal for the family. Spaghetti puttanesca is a robust Italian pasta dish known for its bold and savory flavors.

Hope in the Time of Overwhelm

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

~~ Mary Oliver

Greetings to all my precious people!!

My mini summer sabbatical is underway and it seems I am not well practiced in the “being mode” versus “doing mode”.   Despite having a daily practice of meditation and qigong, there is still evidence of ‘busy-ness’ that feels hardwired in my brain.  It is a very humbling reckoning!!  The escape to the shoreline of Connecticut offered me glimpses of emotions, dreams, and memories, all waiting to be seen, heard, and acknowledged ‘when there was time’.  So I am grateful for the opportunity to choose to listen to the whispers of ‘if not now, when?’ and I encourage all of you to consider the same.  While our habits and routines of daily life keep us on track and serve us, there is something magical about being away from obligations and responsibilities – even for a short time.  continue reading »

Greetings to all my precious people!!

The Summer Solstice officially arrived on Thursday June 20 at 4:50 pm EDT, with a reminder to celebrate the nourishing light of the Sun that sparks within each of us.  I had the privilege of walking along the Connecticut shoreline as the first glimpses of sunlight streamed into the sky.  Most of my early morning was spent in quiet reflection, listening to the birds sing as the waves gently arrived on the sandy beach.  My rescue dog Amber exhibited Solstice exuberance, leaping, frolicking, and rolling in the clover-filled grass.  The yang energy of movement and heart-centered joy filled the day.  How did you celebrate the “longest day of the year”?  continue reading »
