evepostappleOnce upon a time, there was a woman named Eve, who, unable to resist the luring temptation of a fragrant orchard, took a bite of forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Perhaps Eve was bored. Perhaps she was ovulating and had a desperate craving for something sweet. Perhaps life in the little garden was becoming stressful or claustrophobic. Perhaps she felt out of control or lacked passion in her life and in order to numb her emotions or soothe herself from Adam's lack of attention or his ambivalence in starting a family, she chose to indulge. Perhaps Eve was an emotional eater. But as Eve soon discovered, neither the bite, nor the whole fruit fulfilled her as she had hoped. Not only did she realize she was naked but that she had contempt for the way she looked. Perhaps Eve suffered with body dismorphia. Eve tried to stop eating the forbidden fruit and eventually avoided eating altogether but that didn't work and she ended up eating until she could no longer breathe. The point of this is that Eve lost her intuitive ability to nourish herself. She no longer had balance in her life and was willing to do any and everything to get that back.

Maybe Eve didn't exist. Maybe the stories that were told are not as important as the stories we tell ourselves.

This blog is dedicated to creating new stories based on the philosophies of whole body nutrition, self-love, intuition, fitness and yoga.

In my journey I have sought to uncover the knowledge and balance which have brought me to a greater awareness of health and this is what I wish to share with you.

    Foods That Contain Gluten!! As many of you know, I have been gluten-free for over a decade due to sensitivity, bloating and an over all feeling of YUCK when I used to eat it.   Not only did gluten make me feel tired, it caused me to retain water and actually upset my stomach and normal digestion. Do I miss it?  Hardly.  With all of the amazing gluten-free grains and substitutes, I have no desire for the stuff but have found that it has been hiding in many, many foods over the years.   If you have a gluten allergy or intolerance OR if you are just trying to make a healthy change in  your diet, the chart above (from green tidings) should help. I have a ton of gluten-free recipes on my blog and website for those of you who would like to try a few new options!
