Lula Mae and I go way back.  So, when she asked me to be a contributor to “Not Another Diet Blog,” I agreed without hesitation. Lula Mae is smart and has good ideas, and this is definitely one of them.

Like LM, I want to be healthy, happy, balanced, stable. I’m usually most of those things pretty regularly. I’m a fairly healthy eater, I exercise pretty regularly, have a job I like most days and can at least tolerate all the others. And I have a supportive, loving partner (boyfriend, but we’ve been together 5.5 years…”boyfriend” sounds a little silly at this point).

All these things – health, balance, love – take some maintenance, and I think being a part of this project can help me maintain and probably even improve a lot of the good stuff I’ve got happening. Plus, I like writing. I write some at work, but that’s totally different. Let’s just say it will be refreshing to not work around a project outline and have to stay within brand guidelines for a change…In fact, I hope this will help me rekindle my old “college days” love for creative expression.

3 of my favorite topics for discussion include:

FOOD – I love it. I love it more with a good glass of WINE.

Running. Well, I love/hate it…we’ll talk more about this.

Humanity. Ok, that’s weird and esoteric, but I guess I just mean I love seeing the different ways people interact, adapt to their environments, are products of their culture and surroundings. I live in New York City, so there’s a lot of material.

Ok, here we go! I look forward to all of your comments and feedback!
