I recently became an empty nester and decided that it was time to challenge my cautious self with a small dose of fear in my athletic pursuits.

I was a groomer girl in skiing and an avid road biker. Naturally, as a beginner these activities are going to cause fear. I have been participating in these things long enough that they are now routine. Same old is good right?

If you are comfortable and stick to a routine, you won’t risk failing. To our brain this is an excellent strategy, which allowed us to survive. Our monkey mind tells us safe is good and safe is survival. Read More

But I was young and thought, “Oh my! Should I be concerned?”

So I thought about what I’d learned in Christian Science Sunday School. Mary Baker Eddy, the woman the men were discussing, wrote the textbook I studied along with the Bible Read More

One of my favorite comfort foods to serve in cold March weather is a bowl of red chile with a hearty slice of corn bread. It is so easy to make and so delicious and comforting. While this might be seen as a humble meal by some, in Northern New Mexico it is like a return to your youth.

We always helped in the kitchen as kids and learning how to make cornbread and chile was and still is a rite of passage in this region. When your kids have mastered making this Read More
