• Eating Animals Again

  

  After our return from Mexico in 2006, we were permanently back to eating animals.  At some point, I emerged from vegetarianism with an odd belief that if vegans didn’t support ’humane farms,’ then they’d go out of business and all farms would be factory farms which meant more animal suffering. I wrote about it in…

• Our Stint with Vegetarianism: Part 2

  

  Part 1 of this story was published last week, read it here if you missed it. We were vegetarians for about 5 years.  It opened our minds to ethnic foods and spices and tastes we had never before tried and that foundation has stuck with us to this day.  We love a good bean curry,…

• Our Stint with Vegetarianism: Part 1

  

  I graduated from Pizza Hut to Boston Pizza.  I distinctly remember sitting in the parking lot with my then boyfriend, now husband Paul as he dropped me off for my interview.  I sat in the car and said I didn’t want to go to the interview, I wasn’t sure I wanted to work there.  He…

• Pizza Hut & Nothin’ But!

  

  I got a job at Pizza Hut when I was 15 years old.  The year my dad moved out and my parents were getting a divorce was really hard for my mom.  Looking back she had no support.  My dad’s family had cut her off due to my alcoholic father’s lies about my mother.  My…

• Cheese Bun Relapse – August 2021

  

  It was a Friday night and my husband, and I had just come home from walking the dog.  Cousin Clint was preparing for a camping trip with friends and his groceries were on the counter.  My eyes immediately zoomed in on the 6 pack of CHEESE BUNS sitting on the counter.  At this point, I…

• Dream Wanding

  

  BJ Fogg, author of Tiny Habits, has a method he uses called dream wanding. This is where you write what you aspire to achieve and then brainstorm a swarm of behaviors that may help you achieve that aspiration. It’s basically a way of dreaming big or waving your magic wand by writing down all your…

• My Hangups with Veganism

  

  To occupy our time during Covid Shannon, Alyssa and I started what we call Habits meetings.  These meetings were a sort of hybrid book club to talk about what we read in the book but also to plan out our habit ‘recipes’ and to troubleshoot our habits together, talk about our successes and where we…

• Childhood Reflections

  

  I remember being at my maternal Grandma’s house once as a child, maybe I was 8 years old.  I was asked what kind of pizza I wanted for dinner, and I selected my usual Hawaiian.  I hated the ham, but it never occurred to me to order it without the ham; so I would order…

• Family Diseases

  

  My last post talks about extensive bloodwork I received that showcased I was on the path to disease and I wanted to do everything I could to change that without relying on pills. I was on a mission to achieve optimal levels of bloodwork targets such as cholesterol, c-reactive protein (inflammation) and c-peptide (insulin resistance).…
