Twelve years ago, I learned to make each day count. My husband was diagnosed with cancer, shortly followed by an intense relapse. During that time it was as if time stood still. My vision was laser focused on what was important and I learned to value and make each day count. In the case of […]
Read MoreMinimum Effective Dose of Meditation
“Minimum Effective Dose,” it’s a term from my drug development days. It means, “what is the least amount of some substance I can take to give me the effect I want.” For drug development this is an important question because most substances at a higher dose will produce some unintended or undesirable results… we call […]
Read MoreYour Path, Is Your Path
Since 1995, I dreamed of opening a yoga studio. I knew I loved the practice and the life of a yoga studio owner seemed much more meaningful than life as a pharmaceutical executive. I remember explaining all of this to a friend I met in India. She said with a wry smile, “don’t discount what […]

On a recent drive through Missouri, we saw these white little plumes of something fluffy floating through the air. We wondered if it was cotton, or feathers, however as we got closer to the truck ahead of us, we were horrified. As we approached the open wire cages on the truck, we could see it […]
Read MoreA Pain In The Neck
This morning I found myself sitting in an orthopedist’s office waiting to discuss MRI results and “options” As I sat there drinking my green tea, I thought, “what in the world am I doing here?” The truth is, I’ve had neck “issues” since I was about 18. A couple of car accidents (none my fault), […]
Read MoreDo you really need to buy organic?
You’ve likely heard the horrors of pesticides in produce and that you should buy organic whenever is possible. But for most of us, unless you are a trust fund baby, or willing to spend your child’s college fund at Whole Foods, that just may not be possible. The good news is, that may not even […]
Read MoreYou’re sweet enough already- Time to dump the sugar habit for good!
I’ll be honest, I have had a love affair with sugar almost my entire life. I have sweet memories of my Mom making lemon squares and campfire s’mores. That morphed into many fond memories of sharing decadent deserts with my daughter. Okay, maybe “sharing” is a bit of an overstatement. My husband refers to it […]
