As I’ve said, getting my life back into balance has been a mosaic.  There are many parts to how I did it and continue to maintain it.  Here’s a list of resources that have helped me, from cookbooks and gluten-free products to relaxation music and my favorite spa getaways.  I’ll say it over and over:  IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE FOOD. How we treat ourselves is paramount – lavish yourself with all things good and nurturing.  You are worth it! ♥
