A part of the Family!
So proud to be a part of the family! I’ve been self-employed, out and about in the community; sharing my passion for food and health for the past six years. In August, I accepted a full-time position with an awesome, growing, local health plan. I knew if I ever returned to work for an organization […]
Get Fit Physical Night
A couple months ago, I became the lead of my church’s Health Ministry – Get Fit. The idea behind the ministry is to Get Fit: Emotionally, Mentally, Spiritually, and Physically. Tuesday night, we had a Get Fit Physical Night led by Sean Overton a Certified Personal Trainer. Sean was great! He led a fun, but […]

What an awesome time I had last night at the 2014 Get Fit Challenge: Health Fair hosted by Emmanuel Church. I was invited to set up a table with info about food and health and sell my cookbooks. It was a great mix of people eager to get ideas on how to live more healthy […]

I’m just in from the “5 or 50” Women’s Sustainable Weight Loss & Lifestyle Group that I founded and facilitate once a month. The group started out with about 20 […]
41 Years in the Making
Blessed to have seen another year and it has been a wonderful one. I vowed to be “Fit By Forty” and haven’t quite hit that goal physically. Not from lack of trying or wanting to but it’s hard. Very hard. Oh well, let’s save all the heavy stuff for another post. It’s my 41st birthday […]
Outside of the Box at the Camas Public Library
Last night, I gave an obesity and health talk at the Camas Public Library. Since it was my first time visiting the branch, I browsed around before I made my way upstairs to the room where I would speak. What a quaint, charming library. The Camas Farmers Market was in full swing outside of the […]
Better for it
It’s a love/hate relationship. Despite not really like working out. I like working out. Yeah, I know that’s a contradictory statement. Allow me to try and explain.
