Recently I went on holidays to the beach and had the most devine holiday. It was the same as our previous holidays, we did similar activities but somehow it was different. Always the researcher I was fascinated with why this holiday felt so different. For the first time I felt content. This is a big …
Remembering what makes my heart sing
I am not a cyclist but love riding my bike with my family around the coast. Today I went on a 12km ride. We rode on a hilly coastal route enjoying the glorious view of the ocean. This ride is significant for me because prior to being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis I would ride it …
Nature
I am sure I am sounding repetitive but whenever I am at the beach I feel such a strong connection with nature. For me nature can do wonderful things for the soul and makes me feel nourished and restored. The moment my feet hit the sand I feel a lightness. When I am not at …
Facing my fears
Stepping out of my comfort zone and facing my fears are tricky tasks to battle. Lately I have been outside my comfort zone considering the world of dating. This is a very unknown area for me. When I think of fear I think of the chairlift at Anacapri. I did not want to go on the chairlift for …

Food Glorious Food – Italy
When I think of Italy I think of pasta, pizza, tomatoes, mozzarella. To my surprise Italians are very aware of gluten allergies. All Italians are tested for gluten sensitivity at an early age. Those who test positive receive some fabulous benefits – a monthly stipend from the government so they can purchase gluten-free food. It’s …
Food Glorious Food – Paris
My nutritional approach is simple. If it grows, eat it, if it doesn't grow, don't eat it. It is easy to be ravaged by guilt when we stray from our dietary goals. In Paris I was determined to be guided by my body. When trying my first croissant I was very interested to see how …
Food Glorious Food – London
My eating philosophy involves clean eating. When I say clean eating I mean eating whole, organic, healthy and fresh foods. My goal with this type of eating is for my body, skin and soul to glow with health and also give me endless energy. It has required some patience but after exactly a year and a …
