Sweet Dreams and Blues | Recipe for Life Club I can remember moments in my life because of the association with a song that I loved. If there was a soundtrack to my life, here are but a few of the tunes that would be featured.

Congratulations - Beginnings http://www.recipeforlifeclub.com/beginnings/

Beginnings | Recipe for Life Club We live in this euphoria for a moment, then it settles loftily about us, like the white gauzy chuppa (wedding canopy) that danced in the delicate breeze above her head, with the sides left open to all the details of life.

Woman Warrior http://www.recipeforlifeclub.com/warrior-within/

Warrior Within | Recipe for Life Club This is my friend Debbi Moses, and this is a painting from her Warrior series: her response to her Breast Cancer. When I received these images in my in-box I was blown away. The courage, the expression, the beauty. Debbi is a colourful, creative, embrace life kind of a girl, and she has chosen to in…

YES | Recipe for Life Club A few years ago, my friend, Susy Miller called me and told me about her idea to involve the community in an evening of joke telling to raise funds for Jewish Family and Child Services.

All about change: http://www.recipeforlifeclub.com/i-think-we-could-all-use-a-little-change/

I Think We Could All Use a Little Change | Recipe for Life Club I attended an event welcoming the spring solstice at 889 Yoga. The facilitator, Darren Hall, spoke a lot about spring; of growth, seeds, roots and such, and how he, although it is the common convention to make New Years resolutions, felt that spring was the true time to consider ways in which we wou…

A word about memories... http://www.recipeforlifeclub.com/memories-may-be-beautiful-and-yet/

Memories….May Be Beautiful and Yet | Recipe for Life Club This week we celebrated Passover. Every family has their traditions. At the end of the Seder there is a rhyme called ‘Only one Kid’.

Strawberry Fields Forever | Recipe for Life Club It was fifty years ago that The Beatles rocked our world on the Ed Sullivan Show. Where were you?

Hearts of Stone | Recipe for Life Club Today the ocean was gentle. The lullaby of waves lulls me, as the ripples lazily lap to shore and it is that exquisite shade of turquoise, so clear that you can see the shells under the surface.

Let It Be: http://www.recipeforlifeclub.com/let-it-go-let-it-be-let-there-be-light/

Let It Go, Let It Be, Let There Be Light | Recipe for Life Club I am pretty much an empty nester. I thought this would be sad, but woohoo! My front hall is neater. The coats are hung up instead of over the rail, or on the floor with the knapsacks, purses, water bottles, and sweaters, socks, gym bags, that are never going to make it up to the bedroom or down to t...
