Move Joyfully
Making your own bone broth at home is a delicious way to nourish your body, connect with your food and save a few dollars all at the same time. Make it in batches and store in the freezer for a warm cup on a cold day, a snack between meals, or as a stock in your soups and stews. Once you have made your own broth you will be hard-pressed to buy it from the store again!
Was on the hunt for a low-carb pescatarian meal to lighten up my diet for spring. Started with the salad and remembered I had this smoked tuna from my local fishery in the freezer. This turned into a feast of peppery greens, and smoky tuna …
My mother LOVES to dance. When I was a little girl she would pull me into the living room and we would dance to everything from Calypso to Rock’n’Roll to Disco. It was silly, fun and I loved every minute of it!
When I moved out on my own, the party continued as my friends and I hit the clubs, raves, jams and drum circles living our best lives shaking our booties on whatever dance floor we could find… ahh the glory days! But those times passed, my career became a priority and I found myself spending more time at my computer and less time dancing.
By the time I reached my 40’s I was overweight, my joints hurt and I had stopped dancing. My movement was reduced to a weekly yoga class and I regularly bitched about my age and those extra 10, 20, or 30 pounds. Sound familiar?
Lucky for me, a friend introduced me to Pilates to help reduce my knee pain and I fell in love with the combination of breathwork, flow and precision. Within a few months my knees had strengthened and there was less pain. Hmmm maybe it was not age at all just my fitness level.
Today I am grateful to say that my workouts have become a form of self-care, and I MAKE time to dance, play and create. Mom is 74 now and still dancing. She practices Pilates twice a week along with her weekly Tai Chi and Aquacize classes. I hope I’m still grooving when I get to her age!

This soup is a comforting, nourishing option that pairs well with a big salad for lunch or dinner. Its low-carb and just so happens to be vegan as well. Really could we ask for any more? I make a batch on Sunday afternoon and store …
My life looked amazing on paper but day-to-day I found my knees hurting, my fingers going numb, stubborn belly fat, and the beginnings of a dowagers hump.
