Food is medicine! We have forgotten that!

My mom is a great cook, and family dinners were a must growing up, even if that meant eating at 10 p.m. when my dad got home from the hospital. It's where we did our family bonding.

I am doing what I am supposed to be doing right now. I smile knowing that I have the most wonderful husband, family, and friends. I work with friends whom I can learn from and whom I respect and who respect me.

I want to be a vehicle to help people connect the dots that let them make their lives healthier, happier, more beautiful, and more fun.

I do what I do because my favorite thing is to learn.

I am inspired by working moms. Mothers who somehow balance the demands of their many lives - professional, familial, personal, and interior - and still manage to make time to have fun and invest in themselves! This is a huge challenge that I look forward to taking on.

I have been very, very lucky because I have my health, a wonderful husband, family, and friends, and I get to do what I love.
