After a decade or so of reading and eating here in After a decade or so of reading and eating here in California, I’m ready to try an experiment. For the foreseeable future, I’m going to try only to purchase my produce from the local farmer’s market. I want to experience the restriction of only eating fruit and vegetables that are in season. I want my kids to understand the truest flavours of items at their peak. I want to get the most bang for my buck in terms of vitamins and flavours. And I want to do my part in supporting local growers. I realize that being here in California the bounty I can pick from at a farmer’s market year-round is impressive due to the extensive growing seasons and varied microclimates. But that makes me feel like I have even less of an excuse not to give this a try. It’s also a more expensive practice, (especially when trying to buy organic) so I’m lessening our dairy and meat intake (probably healthier for us anyway) and adding more legumes to our diet. By the way, my main influence in all of this is @alicelouisewaters whom I’ve been following for years. But her recent book ‘We Are What We Eat’, written with Bob Carrau and Christina Mueller has been the catalyst finally prompting me to make a major shift. Follow my Farmer’s Market icon in Highlights to see how it’s going! Tips for shopping and meal planning welcome! #livermorefarmersmarket
For a solid 2 months this spring I was hardly able For a solid 2 months this spring I was hardly able to use my right arm for much which resulted in our garden morphing into something akin to The Secret Garden. You had to push overgrown plants to the side and duck under the canopy! Romantic...ehhh. More like claustrophobic!! BUT, my arm is improving (long story I’ll share sometime) and I’m slowly getting back at it with my clippers! I find pruning one of the most therapeutic activities and have missed it sorely. I have to prune and deadhead flowers during quiet time though or else Travis just thinks he can go after all my flowers with a pair of scissors 😆🤪! What’s your preferred therapeutic outdoor activity? Leave an emoji below in the comments where I’ll share my MOST therapeutic outdoor summer activity! #weboughtagarden And yes, my hat is ostentatiously large. And yes, I was inspired by Sophia Loren (see next slide!) even if I’m sporting a Target jumpsuit and lemon-printed gardening gloves instead of an LBD and pearls! 😆
NEW BLOG POST // Decision Fatigue especially duri NEW BLOG POST // Decision Fatigue especially during a pandemic is no joke. In the beginning I went from feeling like a confident decision-maker to uncertain on so many fronts. It took 6 months to get my confidence in decison-making back, but I still had to contend with an overwhelming number of both minute and large decisions to make. Doing this while staying steady, not to mention thriving, has required some strategizing! Click the link in my profile for my most recent blog post featuring some of my favourite tried & true strategies for combatting decision fatigue. #bringinginspirationhome #decisionfatigue #creativecoach #creativecoaching #creativecoaches
NEW BLOG POST // Sometimes in order to add the thi NEW BLOG POST // Sometimes in order to add the things that make life more rich (rest, creativity, inspiration, rhythms), we have to SUBTRACT things that take up space. Like constant scrolling or checking our devices every 5 minutes. I’m totally guilty of this, so a while back I set out on a journey to figure out how to decrease my digital dependency. One of my favourites strategies has been to wear an honest-to-goodness watch again. Not an Apple Watch. A watch watch! And it’s so nice (and much more discrete) to not have to check my phone for the time anymore! Want more of my favourite (and easy) ways to decrease your digital dependency?

While my travel plans are still on hold, I feel li While my travel plans are still on hold, I feel like we are reaching a point where the idea of future trips is plausible again. I cannot wait to offer those of you who need a true creative, inspirational retreat an opportunity to reset after the pandemic, and have everything in place for a Women’s Walking Retreat in the Cotswolds once travel becomes a reality again. If long walks through the English countryside, cozy down duvets to drift off under, fresh organic meals to enjoy (and not have to cook yourself!), and stunning scenery to inspire are enough to make you swoon, my Women’s Walking Retreat through the Cotswolds has your name on it! Click the link in my profile for more details so that when openings become available, you’re ready to snag one of the limited spots available! Can’t wait to see you in the Cotswolds! #bringinginspirationhome #womenswalkingretreat #walkingretreat #creativetours
