This morning, I woke up to this view: Rough life, I know. I was on a muffin making mission. I have a sweet tooth and am always looking for healthy ways to satisfy it. One of my favorite treats is a “Muffkie”. The name comes from a mix of muffin and cookie as you can [...]

May 27th, 2011 LeeAnn Several years ago, we were asked to take personality tests at our law firm. I was one of the most vocal protesters, complaining that it was a waste of time and silly. I guess I should not have been surprised that I scored very high as to cynicism. I became more aware of my cynicism and [...]

May 23rd, 2011 LeeAnn As I am sure you all know, this is Oprah’s last week of her show. I actually really like Oprah’s show. I record it and watch it when I can – usually while exercising. People at work tease me as, apparently, I talk about her and her show a lot. This post is not, however, a tribute to [...]
Yummy Healthy Tacos
May 19th, 2011 LeeAnn It is warm now in Savannah and I am looking for light, healthy and fresh fare (and new – I am determined to try one new recipe a week). I found this one on a healthy living blog. I look for vegetarian recipes that I can add chicken to for my husband. We did that [...]
Musical Me
May 16th, 2011 LeeAnn First, to all of my close friends and family in Savannah that just listed their houses for sale out of fear that I am going to sing – relax, you are safe. Although music is a huge part of my life, I have no musical talent whatsoever. It is one of life’s little ironies – kind [...]

May 12th, 2011 LeeAnn I am a bit of a health food fanatic. I love reading healthy living blogs and magazines and have received many great ideas from them. In the event that others might find it helpful, I plan to use this blog to share some of my recipes and practices. So in that vein (and overpowering the nagging voice in [...]

May 9th, 2011 LeeAnn I try really hard not to judge people without knowing them. However, I have to tell you – I think Bikram Choudhury may be mean. And, I am thinking he doesn’t like women. For those of you who don’t know, Bikram Choudhury founded a study of yoga – called Bikram yoga (I even think that is [...]
A celebration of the mothers in my life
May 6th, 2011 LeeAnn I have had amazing women in my life. My two grandmothers could not have been more different from each other. My Grandma Monroe was one of my favorite people. My Mom was an only child so, after my Grandfather’s death, Grandma Monroe moved with us. She never lived with us, but always in her own apartment or [...]
Living the Kind Life in a kind way
May 4th, 2011 LeeAnn I have been a vegetarian for about 20 years. I have gone through periods of going back to chicken and fish – although not for the last five years or so. I have struggled with exactly why I do it, but the reason became clear to me about a year and half ago – I [...]
My First Triathlon
May 2nd, 2011 LeeAnn I signed up for my first triathlon when I was 41. I trained with two friends of mine, both of whom were personal trainers, but who had no experience with triathlons – in fact, weren’t really runners, bikers or swimmers. As a result, I felt pretty confident going into the race. That feeling did not [...]
