The Beginning

Well here it is my own personal blog.  I've only been a blogger for the past 4 months.  I began a blog for my husband.  You see he was diagnosed with cancer back in April 2010 and I wanted an easy way for our friends and family to stay up to speed with his progress.  He is doing great by the way and through sharing the tragic and terrifying and even amazing journey of cancer with 85 people, I discovered that I have an absolute love of sharing what is in my heart through the written word.

I kept asking my husband, "What am I going to write about when your done with cancer?"  And he kept saying over and over again "Your nutrition!"  And since I have a bad habit of pushing away that which I truly love, I ignored him over and over again.  Until this evening when I found the blog of a fellow lover of nutrition and food and I felt this energy rise up in my body, this irritation that once again I wasn't doing what I wanted to do.

So here I am, taking another step forward in my own journey in life.  And let me tell you it has been an amazing one.  Yes, I am a foodie to the extreme.  I have quite the history with food.  I just began school last week at Institute for Integrative Nutrition to become a Certified Holistic Health Coach.  And my journey to get myself to this school has been one wild ride!  One of which would fill the pages of a novel. 

This blog will definitely evolve as I write.  I don't know what half the buttons are on this page or how to download anything yet.  I still don't understand what an RSS feed is.  But I am a fantastic learner so I'm sure I will figure it all out, just like I'll figure out what it is that I'm here to share with this blog.

I call myself the Kitchen Witch.  I am a lover of food and the art that can be created with food.  My whole life revolves around food.   It is my meditation, my medicine, and my magick.   Welcome to my journey.
