Why Subscribe

I write about my life before and after I discovered Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of health and medicine. It changed my life in ways profound and subtle, and, 15 years after I fell into the practice, I am still amazed at its power. Why subscribe? I lost 50 pounds in 2007 at the age of 44 and it has stayed off. Ok, that’s no reason to subscribe, but it’s a rare and cool fact. I met the man I was going to marry when I was 45 (got married at 47). That’s a rare and cool fact too. I’ve gone through peri-menopause and menopause with the aid of Ayurveda, which kept me from going nuts and totally freaking out my husband.

Somehow I got noticed by the publishing powers that be, and I’ve written three really great books on Ayurveda. Now I’m writing some memoir stuff, and I teach creative writing classes and hold retreats in the US and abroad.

My life is ordinary and extraordinary like all of yours. I write, share, and hope to connect. I’m not shy. Let’s do this together.

Subscribers get early access to trips and retreats. I offer writing workshops and travel to sacred sites. That’s a good reason to pay for this!
