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.

Today

Spiky yucca plant by Bill.

Yesterday, well actually for the last three days, I was low. Low energy. Low mood. Low, low, low.

I slept for about two days.

Today, I feel so much better. Thank you, G-d. My feet are connected to the earth. My energy is rising. My mood is light. I am breathing deeply. I want to sing, so I’m off to a voice therapy appointment in hopes that my singing voice will come back.

Just for fun, and in honor of yesterday’s headline, click on the song title for Kristen Chenoweth singing “Glitter and be Gay”. It is a fiendishly difficult aria to sing and absolutely delightful for listening and watching.

Enjoy!

Love & Light,

Valerie
