Who in the heck am I?

I am learning to be present/in the moment/aware.

I have worked as an intuitive consultant for over 18 years, and I have recently finished classes in hypnotherapy and NLP.

I am grateful to be alive.

My Story:

Before the age of 17, I had moved 66 times all around the United States. No, I wasn’t in a military family- I think my father was unable to find happiness. Although it was a very difficult life, I do appreciate having seen the country. I know the places I love the most, and I do love a good road trip. I continued traveling after I left home, but have settled here in the Puget Sound area of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where I raised and home schooled my son.

One of my passions is learning to live a more simple life. I have laying hens and grow my own organic vegetables.

I will be posting many photos and recipes of the foods I love to cook and bake. I’ve recently discovered that I feel better using almond milk, spelt breads, and lower glycemic sweeteners- like coconut palm sugar and stevia. I’ve also been baking with organic extra virgin coconut oil. I’ve been learning quite a bit.

You are welcome to read and comment. Please don’t be too shy to comment. I’m told I’m awfully friendly, and I enjoy meeting new people.

My interests vary: Waking up and becoming more aware everyday, family and friends, psychology, hypnotherapy, photography, home decorating, cooking, baking, singing, photography, crocheting, reading, tarot reading, vintage kitchenware, linens, Italian pottery, mountains, hiking, the beach, the mountains, home gardening, movies, travel, and too many other interests to list.

Come on in, pull up a chair, and share a little.

Your thoughtful story about dinner with your son made me pause.
My little goobers are 11 and 13 and already I am agonizing over how little I see of them.
The minimalist element of your dinner only served to emphasize the real reason for being together. Here you are able to cook up anything — a good message for us all.

I really loved reading all this and getting to know you better. I see we have a lot more in common than I knew. We do need to get together for tea!

I’m really enjoying reading your blogs. It’s almost scary how close some of our interests are. I want CHICKENS! I really love all of the things you are doing with your life and I look forward to us talking more.

I am delighted to find your blog. Marriage is not for the faint of heart as I’ve learned–twice. I’m drooling over your cuccidati and Ina’s orange chocolate cake. I am obsessed with roosters and chickens in the kitchen–not the real kind–and think it’s a foodie thing. Good luck with your health issues. I’m currently in the middle of a bout of benign non-positional vertigo so I know about balance. Good luck.

Thanks for the ‘basic’ shortbread recipe (& now to see how it works w/ whole wheat:)) I’m a lifelong fiend for these… but it took working my way through the Lorna Doones & blue tins of Danish Christmas cookies to find Real scottish shortbread… more butter than flour, maybe.
Your shop is interesting. I’m a big fan of “experienced” kitchen cookware (no teflon-covered anything, thanks!), w/ a weakness for eggbeaters. Some of the old designs are so simple… and profound! Lovely little machines…
I’ll be back, again.

Sounds like very exciting life.
I moved a lot too, not that often tough… only every 1-2 years. But am currently at the same house for 4 years or so… and thinking of moving to another hosue…
But, yeah, as for our little family, we stick with each other.

Being present… that’s very difficult. I’m working on it as well. Great blog!

I was not aware of all that we have in common. I had my kids when I was 19 & Doug & I were married when I was 17. And after being in & out of the marriage 3 times…we are still living together. We are best friends also. I also love food and cooking & I really enjoy the recipes you share. Thank you.

Your very first sentence about yourself, “I am learning to be present/in the moment/aware” had already convinced me about your credentials – i.e. you are someone in to intuitive counseling, but, I couldn’t guess whether as a teacher or a pupil – but, your very next sentence cleared my doubts. I am impressed with your honesty in biographical details and your multidimensional personality.

Originally, I’m from Oroville, WA and after I married, I moved around, settling in Seattle area. After marriage exploded a couple of times, I ended up in CA after 53 years of fantastic WA state. I loved reading your story. It helped bring me home a little.
