My story
In January 2007, at the age of 51, I joined a 12-step program and began my recovery from food addiction, losing 75 pounds in the process. Read more…
In January 2011, at the age of 55, I began my recovery from a multi-trauma accident, 36 fractures, damaged lungs, and post traumatic stress. Read more…
I am deeply grateful for all the kindnesses, large and small, offered to me in recovery. Here I am... alive… still making progress … still not perfect … finding a new way forward in a growing community of women and men who share a lot in common around food and life.
I hope you'll join me in this kitchen and let me know what's cooking with you.

How beautiful a thought. The work I did with the healer last weekend gave me enough juice to resume my quiet time last week. It makes a huge difference in my ability to deal with today through to tonight which in itself prepares me for tomorrow.
Thank you, dearest Betsy. Your message about quiet time is very timely. I will now go and do my quiet time. Love & Light, Valerie
I have recently talked a lot about dying and it keeps me from living. I am coming to understand that death is part of birth, and since I am glad to be alive, anticipating death keeps me from living joyfully. Catastrophizing is bad magic. Living joyfully and prayerfully and mindfully is good magic. that’s where I am today. love, mom
Beautifully put, Mom. “Living joyfully and prayerfully and mindfully is good magic…” and the best preparation for anything in life, including a good transition at the end. Love & Light, Valerie
