About

I see the light!

I would have to define myself as a birthing empty nester seeking creativity as the vehicle to self discovery. So I’m doing a lot of experimenting right now. Writing, yoga, cooking, gardening, painting,  sleeping in, and dancing in my dreams are just a few fun ways of figuring out what to do after the kids are gone. I am writing a food column for our local newspaper and quite frankly, loving it. It gives me an excuse to play with food! I also have a healing practice as a massage therapist in our area. I love that too. Serving people and helping them to move forward in their life or spiral out, is one high I will never tire of.

Recently I started a new adventure by going backwards. My son “Grop” talked me into eating the primal way. This way of eating has many names,  paleo, primal, produce based diet, and caveman diet, are just a few. But anyway you stack it up, it is cutting out all grains, legumes, most sugars and dairy. One mostly eats lots of veggies, fruit and lean clean meats.

I have been eating this new way, more or less, for about a year and amazingly enough, loving it. I love it. I LOVE IT! Which is so cool. I still have to take forays back into the grain and sugar world occasionally, just to remember how awful I feel from it. And then gladly go back to the Cavewoman Café.

This blog will be devoted to my exploration and recipes in this new life of eating and being healthy. I will be getting on my soapbox occasionally, sharing wonderful recipes and bringing you along the way as I study and learn the old ways in a new world.

I am lucky. I love my life. I appreciate that I am happily married, healthy, love my job, have three incredible children, and living in an idyllic place. My primary concern in life is the Earth and of course, my beautiful children whom the moon and stars rise in. Oh, and my cats, and my dog, and my chickens…
