You may recall that I wrote a review of my regional favorite, The Silver Diner, sometime last year. With multiple vegan menu items, a plant-based diner may be faced with the unfathomable conundrum of having to make a choice about what to order, a rare dilemma, indeed. Since writing that review, the Silver Diner hasContinue reading “The Silver Diner: Vegan Restaurant Review: Update”

One Nation
One Nation Ruled by the Minority Without liberty, without justice, without care for our most marginalized citizens. * One Nation Whose lawmakers Are bought and sold by corporate greed. * One Nation With citizens crippled By insurmountable debt. * One Nation Dumbed down By conspiracy theories and misinformation. * One Nation Exhausted Because of aContinue reading “One Nation”
Summer Camp for Grownups is Almost Here!
I don’t feel like I really had an off season this year. With running the Freight Train 50k in December and 3 spring half marathons, I’ve been running quite a bit. It will be fun to get back to the rituals of marathon training, though. We start in 2 weeks! I can’t believe it’s hereContinue reading “Summer Camp for Grownups is Almost Here!”
My Midlife Crisis
One of my former bosses posted this meme: I can honestly say that this is how I approach each and every work day. I may enter the building in a less than optimal mood, but my patients deserve my best. They deserve to feel better when I leave them, and to feel valued as aContinue reading “My Midlife Crisis”
Buff City Soap: A Review!
On one of my last trips to Trader Joe’s in Short Pump, I noticed a colorful new storefront next door. Buff City Soap is new to the Richmond area, and I’m pretty excited about it! There is another location in Willow Lawn as well. The promise of plant based soaps and no harsh chemicals drewContinue reading “Buff City Soap: A Review!”
Freedom of Speech is Not a Student Right in Hanover County Schools
Ugh. This school board. Remember last month when a man came to my child’s high school to protest, holding vulgar signs, and he was allowed to do so based on a “technicality,” and that kids who walked out of class later in the month to protest proposed transgeneder rights policies were suspended for several days?Continue reading “Freedom of Speech is Not a Student Right in Hanover County Schools”
Uncorked Half Marathon 2022: Race Recap!
I ran this race in 2018 and swore I was one and done with this event, but I was lucky to win a free entry to the Uncorked Half Marathon from Austin (@eatsbyaustin on Instagram) and Sports Backers, so I was ready to give it a second chance! My reasoning was similar to why IContinue reading “Uncorked Half Marathon 2022: Race Recap!”
It’s Time
I participated in a protest for the first time this week. By now, you have heard the proposed vote of the Supreme Court of the United States in the leaked opinion on Roe vs. Wade. This is happening in a country that touts freedom. Well, apparently that really just means for white men. For myContinue reading “It’s Time”
Totally Yawn Worthy
My patient let out a very audible yawn during our treatment session the other day. This meant that I, too, started to yawn. I actually love this phenomenon: the contagiousness of yawns. It gives me an opportunity to discuss a bit of useless trivia with my patients. You see, there was a study a fewContinue reading “Totally Yawn Worthy”
Nightmares
I’ve always had them. I recalled my childhood night terrors to you in an earlier post: the man in the sky admonishing me for being a bad girl, accompanied by booming thunder and lightning. I was 3 or 4 when these began, and these dreams are among my first memories. As an adult, during timesContinue reading “Nightmares”
