Coconut Macaroons Available for Just a Few Weeks



Back by popular demand!
Holiday season coconut macaroons!
Get them before they are gone!

Why macaroons?

Most of my income streams dry up between mid December and mid January, but the bills keep coming.  So I was thinking about food I make that people think is super delicious, and I'm going with my coconut macaroons.  People LOVE them!  Even some people who don't think they like coconut like these.  These are gluten free, but they are not vegan.

So here is what I'm doing:

  • For the next month I am baking and selling my super delicious coconut macaroons packaged in a large Chinese food container with some colorful tissue paper.  
  • The price is $10 for a baker's dozen.  
  • Local delivery/pick up can be easily arranged
  • I will ship anywhere in the continental U.S. for $4 a box.  

ORDER NOW and leave a note about what day you want delivery or a shipping address
Thank you!

Visioning The New Year



I am so incredibly delighted to offer this opportunity to join together with kindred spirits, share simple nourishing food, move meditatively, and create a vision and vision board for 2019!


It's going to be an evening you won't want to miss.

After all the busy days of the holiday season, lean into an evening of self care and preparation for the new year.

This will be in my home, aka Inspiration Central. 

This would be a lovely gift to share with a friend or sister or mama.

Here is where you register!  Space is limited.
