Culinary Checkpoints: Tasting My Way Through Belize
I’ve come to measure my life through a series of checkpoints, each one marked not by dates, but by dishes. Every memorable meal becomes a marker in time, a moment when I can pause and say: I am here. I am alive. I am nourishing not only my body, but my soul. I am creating…

I wanted to gain clarity and courage for the months ahead. There are not a lot of things that I wish I would have done differently, but only giving myself…

Crumble With It
The world has been weird lately. We’ve all felt it. It feels like the world is performing a balancing act, and the suspense is killing me. With the pandemic changing the way we function as a society, many people have had to adapt to new ways of living and operating, not only as part of…
