Every year I make the same holiday delight- homemade Peanut Butter Candy. Simply delicious! These are always a crowd pleaser. Low fat? No way! It’s the holidays so enjoy, in moderation, of course.

I love this time of year. Christmas lights, holiday parties, fires in the fireplace and a creamy hot chocolate bring lots of warm feelings during this otherwise chilly month (especially in snowy Boston!). I also love that as the year comes to a close, I have a chance to reflect on all that has [...]

Because of snowshoeing I think I might actually enjoy the winter season. Today I snowshoed for the first time in my life. I’m lucky that my husband has 2 pairs - one perfect for me.

My personal yoga practice has changed. I’m not exactly sure when this happened, but I think I can trace it back to the weekend of November 16 - my first visit to Kripalu. My body has changed since coming back from the Berkshires - for two reasons.

While I consider myself to be on a personal spiritual adventure, I’m not a religious person, I do not pray, I do not [...]
A new study published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine says being overweight and active is better for you than being thin and sedentary.
This was a 12 year study conducted with American men and women aged 60 and over. The bottom line: those who exercised were living longer than those who were [...]
Last night’s Patriots game was enough to stress me out for a month. I don’t stay up much past 10pm on weeknights, but the Patriots had me until the end last night. Talk about stress!
