It's been a good solid two decades that I've been wanting to see Satyajit Ray's famed "Apu trilogy". As my interest in film started to poke its nose into various realms, I continued to see the trilogy (and particularly the first film from it – Pather Panchali) get mentioned in discussions of foreign cinema and also land on various lists. Sometime later, I met a lovely young woman who gave me some deeper background on not only Ray's influence within the Bengali community, but also the rather wide range of artists that particular Indian region has generated. Just for that, I married her. Well, OK, there were a few thousand other reasons too, but it sure didn't hurt. My wife had always loved the gorgeous score from Pather Panchali (composed and performed by Ravi Shankar) and we played much of it during our wedding (mixed in with French Canadian folk music, Charles Mingus and King Crimson – yeah, it was a good day). Still, though, I had not managed to see the film. I missed it whenever it showed at the local Cinematheque and there were no Region 1 releases at the time. When one finally came out, word was that the transfer was terrible. So I put it off. I've been meaning to hunt down the Region 2 version ever since I bought my region-free player, but simply haven't done so.
Similarly, Robert J. Flaherty's seminal documentary Nanook Of The North has been on the to-watch list for years as well. It's even more surprising that I haven't sat down to see it until now – it's readily available on Criterion, it's under 80 minutes long, it's one of the earliest feature length documentaries and it's also one of the first examples of a filmmaker playing with the truth on screen to get to a "bigger" truth. Herzog may be known for that today, but Flaherty was a good half-century ahead of him. It also provides footage from the North of my own country that shows a lifestyle that is completely alien to my own. So why haven't I seen it? I don't know, but isn't that why I'm doing this Blind Spot series?
Once again, my pairing of films works out quite nicely…The stories are vastly different of course, but beyond the obvious pairing of foreign cultures documented in academy ratio B&W images, both films are wonderful at creating a sense of place. Not just the specific environment where the story is set, but also the pace of daily life, the chores, the family interactions and the difficulty of doing things that our modern Western culture takes for granted. And even in the compromised transfers of both DVDs, the cinematography – especially of the natural surroundings – is breathtaking. Whether it's the floes of ice, a steaming train through a wheat field, a lone cabin pitched against the huge Northern sky or reflected plant life in the dusk of a warm humid evening, these films cry out for pristine looking versions. I doubt that too much more could be done for Nanook, but Ray's films need far better treatment. Word is that Criterion might release the trilogy at some point (they provided a splendid version of Ray's The Music Room), so let's hope that many others can start filling in this particular blind spot in the near future.
After viewing Pather Panchali, I'll be closing off on the rest of the trilogy shortly. It's truly wonderful. There are certain filmmakers that have an innate ability to convey humanity in their characters. Kore-eda and Kaurismaki are two names that spring to mind (at least as far as current directors go), but you can bet Ray will be on the list now as well. It's not just the range of emotion, but the honest way it comes across. At the start of the film, the young boy for whom the trilogy is named hasn't even been born yet, but he is on his way. We meet Apu's Mom and sister Durga as they eke out a living while being "allowed" to stay within the confines of the family orchard. There's some history within the family as to proper ownership, but Apu's Dad isn't concerned – in his mind all you need is two good meals a day and new clothes twice a year. What more could anyone want? His focus is being an artist – his family has always been filled with writers and scholars and he has great hopes of writing a new style of play for the bands of travelling players that roam the countryside. Until then, he must go off looking for work on a regular basis and bring back his earnings to his family. His positive outlook is contrasted sharply with his wife who has to be worried about their daily existence, their reputation, how she is viewed as a pregnant woman and how to eventually marry off Durga (and what they would get in return). A great deal of effort is put into how the family is perceived and where they are supposed to fit within society – not even the larger society, but just the small one around them. Even the father isn't immune – once Apu is born, he wants to spend some of the little money they have to celebrate and show off to everyone in the community. This becomes a bigger issue when Durga is accused of stealing the bracelet of one of the young girls at the main house. Durga has been caught stealing food before and her Aunt sees the whole family as a bunch of thieves. Though Durga is defended by her mother, she later gets literally thrown out of the house until the end of day. Hardly fair in Durga's mind, since Apu (probably 6 or 7 at this stage) has stolen toys himself, but never gets punished. It's a clear demarcation between males and females in this portion of society – as much as many mothers aren't happy with their own lots in life, they end up forcing the exact same standards and rules that hurt them onto their own daughters. Though wrapped around these central themes, much of the film shows the simple life of Durga, Apu and their Mom. The children have free reign over the forest and beautiful fields as they play between chores. While the cinematography shows the grandness of their location, we also get a closer look at nature – bugs, dragonflies, rain falling on the leaves of the forest – to emphasize how closely these people interact with it even within their own homes.
Of course, Nanook himself might scoff at their living conditions. He doesn't just live with nature, he has to fight with it every single day. Flaherty originally was part of an expedition to the large region East of Hudson's Bay and was asked to prospect it for possible growth in the areas of railway and mining. As Flaherty met the Inuit people who lived there, he realized that their way of life was slowly coming to an end – and so he began to bring up his cameras to document what he could. Since much of his original footage was lost and because he initially had a narrative feature in mind, Flaherty recreated many of the scenarios we see in the film. What we end up seeing is somewhat like a greatest hits of the Eskimo lifestyle: transporting the "family" via kayaks, building an igloo, capturing, killing and eating seals, etc. It's all quite simply shot and quite revealing – especially the more intimate scenes with Nanook's "family". Perhaps you've noticed the use of quotations around "family" – as it turns out, that's not Nanook's wife or children in the film. They are simply other natives of the region who were brought in to film these different events – many of which weren't even activities they did on a regular basis anymore. However, Flaherty felt it important to document the way that they did actually live – if Nanook doesn't actually hunt in exactly those methods anymore, he certainly used to do it and has the kind of skills that were required. The film even states right from the intertitles at the start that Nanook is essentially a composite of the people Flaherty met during his many years in the North. If he occasionally condescends a bit to them (calling them "happy-go-lucky", creating a scene where Nanook looks at a long playing record and tries to bite it with his teeth), there is an obvious appreciation of the people and the life. Yes, the seal capture and the kayak transporting (where members of Nanook's family start popping out of the kayak like clowns from a tiny car) were essentially faked, but the overall intent of the film is to provide the feeling of what it was like to live in this cold and often hostile environment. From that perspective, the film is a complete success. It doesn't just show the hunting activities or the building of shelter (though I had never thought they actually used ice as a window), but also many of the smaller details. For example, the snow is sometimes as dry as sand, so the runners on a sled have to be glazed with water before it can actually slide. That same sled is typically stored on top of the igloo at night in order to prevent the dogs from chewing the seal hide that binds it together. Flaherty even shows the minute details like the spit cleaning of a baby and the nighttime rituals.
Though I'll never get a sequel to Nanook (the story is that Nanook – or the person playing the character of Nanook – actually died during final prep of the film), I'd love to see how their lives developed as the regions around them did. If their old ways of life died out, were they able to adapt? Did life become easier or harder for them? Flaherty's film doesn't just raise these questions, it makes you very much want to know the answers. By the end of the film, you even have feelings for the sled dogs (the shot of the dogs huddling at night in the cold, lashing winds is the perfect way to show the environment). Fortunately, I can at least follow up with Apu in two further films to see what wonders and heartbreak are in store for him while plunging myself further into a world I never knew much about. It's been a bit of blind spot one might say…
Note: I have since seen the final two films of the Apu Trilogy – and they are equally wonderful.

The Larger Catechism (#1) asks the question, "What is the chief and highest end of man?" The answer is given, "Man's chief and highest end is to glorify God, and fully to enjoy him for ever." In contrast to the wicked who are "far from (God) shall perish," the heart of those who are made new in Christ testify, "But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works" (Ps. 73:28). We cannot enjoy our Creator and Redeemer unless our desire, in thought and deed, is to declare God's glory according to his Word. Thomas Watson wrote: "We glorify God, when we are God-admirers; admire his attributes, which are the glistering beams by which the divine nature shines forth; his promises which are the charter of free grace, and the spiritual cabinet where the pearl of price is hid; the noble effects of his power and wisdom in making the world, which is called 'the work of his fingers.' Psa viii 3. To glorify God is to have God-admiring thoughts; to esteem him most excellent, and search for diamonds in this rock only" (A Body of Divinity).
The Lord promises that he will make his name 'hallowed,' sacred, set apart and noble among the nations: "And I will sanctify my great name" (Ezek. 36:23). Matthew Henry wrote, "Observe, by the way, God's holy name is his great name. His holiness is his greatness; so he reckons it himself." There is no other God but God himself that can truly reveal his greatness. The Lord God Almighty has given a covenant, whereby he himself will "open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of prison house;" and he does this because of his declaration, "I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images" (Isa. 42:7-8). Peter preached boldly of the glory of the Lord, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Christ alone is the Author of our salvation. The power to save is in Christ alone. The invitation to come to God in Christ Jesus is also of God who drags us out of darkness into his marvelous light. "For he took upon him our flesh once for this cause, that he might be a continual pledge of our adoption. He hath reconciled the Father to us forever by the sacrifice of his death: by his resurrection he hath purchased for us eternal life. And he is present with us now also, that he may make us partakers of the fruit of eternal redemption" (John Calvin).
Israel had a good land and a good God. But they defiled what was good and precious to the Lord: "they defiled it by their own way and by their doings" (36:17). Matthew Henry observed, "It was a good land, a holy land, a land that had the eye of God upon it. But they defiled it by their own way, their wicked way; that is our own way, the way of our own choice; and we ourselves must bear the blame and shame of it. The sin of a people defiles their land, renders it abominable to God and uncomfortable to themselves; so that they cannot have any holy communion with him nor with one another." Israel was judged by the Lord and dispersed them among the heathen. "And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land." The heathen looked at the people of Israel and saw their hypocrisy. Their actions did not fit their claim that they were the people of God. For it was the Lord who scattered his people among the heathen, "according to their way and according to their doings" the Lord judged them (36:19).
Paul reminded the Jews of his time of their pretense, claiming to "boast of the Lord," that "Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?" Therefore, "For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written." (Rom. 2:17-24). Those who claim the name of the Lord as their Creator and Lord are warned that they must examine themselves as to their thoughts and actions in the midst of a wicked world, that the glory of the Lord must be shown in their claim that they are children of the Most High God. The Christian must see that the Scriptures "principally teach what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man" (Shorter Catechism #3). It is the Holy Spirit who brings us to maturity in Christ through the teaching of the Word of God, which has been given to us "by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Tim. 3:16). The prophets' claim was clear in their words, "Thus saith the Lord!"—For they spoke the words that the Lord wanted them to speak. "Paul and the other apostles claimed to speak not in words which man's wisdom taught, but in words which the Spirit taught (1 Cor. 2:13). Not only the substance of their teaching, but also its form of expression, was asserted to be of Divine origin" (L. Boettner).
The Lord God Almighty claims that he alone is to be honored above all others. He said, "But I had pity for mine holy." His name was blasphemed before the heathen nations. His consideration for his NAME reveals also his compassion for his people. For, in blaspheming his name, i.e. following after the idols of their own making, they were turning away from the Lord who alone gave them life. For it was the "house of Israel," that "had profaned among the heathen, whither they went." Ezekiel was to proclaim this gospel that in the Lord is the only Way, Truth, and Life! He was to give this message to the people: "Thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went." Both the Lord's judgment and his redemptive acts rest not in the people but in himself. When we glorify the Lord in our thoughts and actions we are most blessed. For our lives are then built upon Christ Jesus, and not upon wisdom derived from our own thoughts.
The redemptive covenant promise is revealed to his people in these words of the Lord: "And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes." The wicked smirk, amused at the Christians who try to be neutral in their witness, allowing them to take command, i.e. education belongs to the state, evolution is truth, abortion is political, etc. What belongs to the Christian home they say belong to state. Where shall we then stand as the name of the Lord is blasphemed? Matthew Henry persuades us to be faithful, "When God performs that which he has sworn by his holiness, then he sanctifies his name. The effect of this shall be very happy: The heathen shall know that I am the Lord when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes and yours. When God proves his own holy name, and his saints praise it, then he is sanctified in them, and this contributes to the propagating of the knowledge of him."
Discussion: How are we to praise the Great Name of God?
When the Lord delivers us from the darkness of our transgressions we marvel at the truth that we belong to our Father in heaven, and that he has placed us in his presence, through Christ, as his adopted children. Ezekiel spoke these words of the Lord to Israel; "For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land." Their own land being that which the Lord had given them by covenant promise by a redeemer: "And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there" (Isa. 65:9). Paul spoke of this promise of grace: "Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace … What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded" (Rom. 11:5, 7).
How will this promise to Israel come to fruition? The Lord spoke, "Then I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." It is by the grace of God we are saved. The Lord will cleanse us from the filthiness of our sins, from our idolatrous life; he will also give us a new heart and spirit; he will put his spirit within us and cause us to walk in his way of righteousness, truth, and life. Jesus put it this way: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:5-6). By the work of the Spirit and of the Christ the work of grace is manifested in our obedience to the Word of God.
This relationship with God our Father, the Son, and the Spirit, is summed up in the Lord's word through Ezekiel, "And ye shall dwell in the land in the land that a gave to your fathers: and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God." The Savior defines this fellowship of life everlasting, saying, "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" (John 17:3). May our faith toward God be an example as did church of Thessalonica to "all that believed in Macedonia and Achaia." Paul wrote and encouraged their faith, "For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you (church at Thessalonica), and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come" (1 Thess. 1:7-10). By the same Lord and Savior were the people of Israel delivered.
Discussion: What is the glory of knowing that the Lord is our God and we are his people?

WALES rugby captain Sam Warburton will be following the ice hockey fortunes of Cardiff Devils over the rest of this season.
Warburton was a guest at the Devils v Nottingham Panthers match and said: "I really enjoyed it and I'd love to go again."
Cardiff Blues forward Warburton attended the match after agreeing to support Devils' under-18 team in their bid to raise funds for a tour to France in March. He donated the boots he wore in the autumn rugby international against New Zealand last year – and they were snapped up for £1,300.
Tonight, captain Stuart MacRae and his Devils team are at home against Coventry Blaze (7.30pm). Devils are fourth in the Elite League table, four points ahead of Blaze, and aim to extend that gap tonight.

Wunderschöne originell eingerichtete Wohnung über den Dächern von Florenz, mit toller Terrasse und schönem Blick. Reizende Vermieterin und tolle Lage. Also nichts wie hin...
I can not say how much we enjoyed staying in Maddalena's apartment. It's was the perfect location with a walking distance to amazing restaurants and sights.
The apartment it self worked perfectly! A full equipped kitchen, a nice livingroom and an amazing terrace with a view over the entire city.
Maddalena her self helped us a lot when we had a question and answered immediately.
If you are considering renting this apartment then do it. Plus you will get a workout every day, because there's a lot of stairs.
Thank you so much for having us Maddalena.
Maddalena a été très accueillante et très disponible. Elle a répondu présente à toutes nos sollicitations et nous a trouvé des solutions à Tout. Son petit appartement est très cosy. Il est juste important de noter que ce petit appartement est au 5eme sans ascenseur. Mais la vue sur les toits, les clochers et la coupole du Duomo méritent cet effort.
After a lot of stairs to get up to the apt I opened the door to the cutest little place. Big enough for 3 of us when I had guests too. Madi was sweet. Although she was very busy and we never got a chance to have a glass of wine together she was always reachable on whatsapp and very quick to respond. It was very hot this summer so the 2nd bedroom wasnt useable as the central air doesn't get back there so I used the futon in the living room. I just appreciated that the apt had air at all. I was there 5 weeks and loved it..and Madi was wonderful to rent from.
Very beautiful flat, clean and with an amazing view from the balcony. Located right in the centre with everything in walking distance. We enjoyed our stay here so much. Big thank you to maddalena who was very welcoming and a wonderful host. Definitely would come back.
We had a marvelous time in Maddalenas apartment!
Although our flight was late, Maddalena received us very friendly with a bottle of wine. Maddalena was really flexibel and uncomplicated, which helped a lot in this situation. Thank You!
The apartment is quite central situated near Santa Croce and only a few minutes walking away from Ufici Museum and the Cathedral. Supermarket, restaurants and market place are just round the corner.
The flat has got everything you need for a nice stay. The furnishings and decoration was very charming! You could see that Maddalena has got a talent for decoration. The roof terrace with its view over Santa Croce, the cathedral and palacio Veccio was so amazing, we enjoyed every minute on it.
On our next trip to Florence, we will surely choose this apartment again.
The flat is very nice and appointed!!
The view is awesome...
Maddalena is very nice and has a lot of good tips!
I really enjod the time!!

The misspelling is right in the code I've posted, not in the module. In fact SVG.pm doesn't handle style specially in any way (though I've pondered it should).
I've now actually tested the code, and this seems to work (the resulting SVG displays fine in firefox and inkscape).
As for the xmlns:svg declaration, that just means that the svg XML namespace is set up as being interpreted as SVG. This allows you (in theory) to do fun stuff like embedding <svg:rect ...> elements straight into XHTML. But even for browsers that support it, it is only supported if the document is delivered as application/xml+xhtml, which is generally no fun, because most IE versions don't render such documents, but offer them for download. </rant>

|Selections from The Practice of the Presence of
God by Brother Lawrence
Edited version © SpiritSite.com (some language has been adapted and/or simplified)
"He told me that he had been a servant in his early life, and that he was a very awkward fellow who broke everything."
First Conversation with Brother Lawrence
The first time I saw Brother Lawrence was on August 3, 1666. He told me that God had done him a great favor when he was eighteen.
In the winter of that year, seeing a tree stripped of its leaves – and realizing that within a little time, the leaves would be restored, and after that the flowers and fruit would appear – Brother Lawrence received a view of the glory and power of God, which has never left him.
He told me that he had been a servant in his early life, and that he was a very awkward fellow who broke everything. He had entered a monastery, thinking that he would atone for his awkwardness there, and sacrifice his life to God – but God had disappointed him in this endeavor, for he had found not sacrifice, but satisfaction.
Brother Lawrence had learned that we can establish a sense of God's Presence by continually speaking with Him. He felt that it was a sad thing to end this conversation, and think instead of trifles and foolishness.
He believed that we ought to give ourselves up to God, in both worldly and spiritual matters, and seek our satisfaction only in fulfilling His will. He counseled faith during those dry spells in prayer. He said that those were the times for us to strengthen our commitment and speed our spiritual advancement.
He told me that if it was my wish to serve God sincerely, I might come to him (Brother Lawrence) as often as I pleased, without any fear of being troublesome.

How many miles on car when you picked it up?

How many miles on car when you picked it up?
I'm stuck in Jersey working, while the 1LE I ordered waits for me. The fact I ordered this thing in august and then left town 5 days before it was delivered... huge injustice!
Anyway, car has 16 miles on it... Dealer told me it showed up with 15. I'm calling BS. What would be reason for that? How many miles on your cars when you picked them up? I was told it would have 1-2 miles. I'm not comfortable with the $1600 worth of tires get thrashed by anyone but me. Or the motor getting wrung out by anyone but me.
Does delivery sheet exist? Showing mileage at each point? Does ECU contain max RPM, max speed data? Basically, do I have any recourse. I put $1000 down and ordered to avoid this BS.

Victory drought in Chicago over
Published 11:28 pm, Sunday, January 5, 2014
CHICAGO - After a rough day in Denver on Saturday, Sharks head coach Todd McLellan was looking for a better effort from his team Sunday.
And he got it.
Logan Couture and Joe Pavelski scored in a shootout, and the Sharks beat the Blackhawks 3-2 for their first victory in Chicago in three years.
"This was the best defensive effort we've had in this building in a while," McLellan said.
Alex Stalock made 33 saves through overtime as San Jose bounced back from a 4-3 loss at Colorado on Saturday. Jason Demers scored in the first period, and Brett Burns had a tying goal in the third.
The Sharks allowed the first four goals in the loss to the Avalanche, and McLellan pulled Antti Niemi early in the second period in favor of Stalock. McLellan then talked about holding the goalies accountable in 2014, along with the rest of the team.
"It's hard to demand perfection, but you have to demand as close as you can get to that," McLellan said. "The players tonight gave us that. It still was a tough task. To score only two and win a game against Chicago, you've done something pretty well."
Couture beat Corey Crawford with a shot into the right side of the net after Stalock had stopped Chicago captain Jonathan Toews leading off the shootout. Patrick Sharp then shot wide before Pavelski scored to give the Sharks their first win at the United Center since Dec. 30, 2010.
Crawford made 40 saves in his first home start since he left Chicago's 6-2 victory over Florida on Dec. 8 because of a lower-body injury. He came back Thursday and stopped 31 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Islanders.
"It's a tough loss to take when you're down by a goal, get up by one, and they tie it up again," Crawford said. "The shootout wasn't close, obviously. Tough loss."
Defensemen Niklas Hjalmarsson and Michal Rozsival scored in the third period for the Blackhawks (29-7-9), who have earned at least one point in their past 10 games. It was their fifth home shootout loss.
"We've lost a few in a row here and I think it could be a little bit uncomfortable, or a lack of confidence, but we've got to work our way through it," head coach Joel Quenneville said of the shootout trouble. "We've left a lot of points on the board. We could have put ourself in a better spot than we're at. That's been a sour spot recently."
San Jose (27-10-6) trailed 2-1 before Joe Thornton made a great pass across the crease to Burns, who slammed the puck in at 11:10 of the third. Thornton has 12 assists during an eight-game points streak, running his NHL-best total to 43 this season.
San Jose had dropped six straight in Chicago by a combined score of 24-11, including a 5-1 loss Nov. 17. The Sharks and Blackhawks are two of the top teams in the Western Conference.
"Any win in here is special," Thornton said. "It's a hard place to play. They play fast. They play hard, and any win in this building is huge."
The NHL's highest-scoring team was headed for its first shutout of the season before two unlikely players combined to put the Blackhawks in front.
First, Hjalmarsson beat Stalock at 1:27 of the third. Then Rozsival's long slap shot through traffic made it 2-1 just 2:34 after Hjalmarsson's fourth goal. It was Rozsival's first since March 1, 2012, for Phoenix. Hjalmarsson hadn't scored since Nov. 30.
The Sharks grabbed the lead midway through the first period when Demers skated into an open area on the right side of the net and one-timed a pass from Couture past Crawford.

When It's Right, I Can't Get Enough....But, can you believe I actually dated a guy (and he even proposed) that said I liked to kiss TOO MUCH?! Is that possible?! If you are in love with the person, how could it ever be enough?!
I'm not sure I have a limit... my lips may think differently, but that's what lip balm is for, right?!
MMM, the delight of lips still numb hours after enjoying one another is too much to decline! I feel such excitement and then when after a few short hours my lips feel normal again ~ longing.
Wow,,,I'm getting horny reading Mewolds posts! LOL!!!!!! :-)
How is that possible to kiss too much... I mean as long as you come up for air every once a while....Hehehehe...
Yes cherry chap stick right ? I like kissing you !!
Long passionate, continuous kisses, with my penis, totally sheithed in my wife, pressing on her **** with my pubic bone, otherwise not moving, Oh Lord Help Me, I am in heaven.....
Yes, how can you possibly kiss too much, unless you are not alowing yourself to come up for air. lol<br />
And the touching, o yea!

Client Talk
I've been blessed to work with the most amazing, beautiful beings and am deeply grateful for their willingness to share their experience with you. In addition to the reviews below, you can also check out my Yelp reviews here.
"She taught me how to find balance in my life, how to enjoy eating without being obsessive about counting calories or losing weight."
If you are looking for someone to help you make a healthy, long-term change to the way you look at yourself, your body, and food, Renee is your person!
I can't even being to tell you how helpful my sessions with Renee have been. Now, having been about 9 months removed from my work with her, I can whole-heartedly say, her work is long lasting.
I would echo everything that has been said in previous reviews. She is someone who is unforgettable. She listens to you, validates your feelings, and makes individualized, chunked plans to help you reach your goals. For me, she helped me learn how to love myself and my body. She taught me how to find balance in my life, how to enjoy eating without being obsessive about counting calories or losing weight. We also did work on looking at products I was putting on my body or using to clean my apartment, and how they were affecting my health.
Renee helped me realize the importance of enjoying life now. Working with her is an experience that will stick with you for the rest of your life. I think about things Renee and I talked about often, and I know that what she has taught me will always be in the back of my head. Not only is Renee great while you are in sessions with her, but she also follows up with you and keeps in contact with you after you finish working with her. She is extremely thoughtful, and I am eternally grateful for our work together.
–Lisa S. | Coach + Teacher | San Francisco, CA
"Renee has helped me break my lifelong cycle of dieting and unhealthy eating. I now get so much more pleasure from eating and am much less obsessive about food."
Working with Renee has helped me break my lifelong cycle of dieting and unhealthy eating. I now get so much more pleasure from eating and am much less obsessive about food. I eat a more balanced diet, eat more regularly, enjoy eating what I want, and don't just eat to eat nearly as often. I am not as hungry, snack less and eat more mindfully. My digestion has improved and my skin and hair feel and look healthier.
I'm eating less sugar and starch and have much fewer cravings. I no longer have afternoon sugar crashes or collapse on the couch after work from fatigue. I am sleeping much better and getting an adequate amount of sleep more often--this has made a big difference. When I don't get enough sleep, I am much more aware about using food and caffeine as an energy substitute and tend to do it less.
I now cook more, shop smarter, stock my kitchen better, and am experimenting more with new foods and recipes. As a result, I'm saving money.
I have much more energy, which makes it easier to be more social, make home improvements, and get up for my 6 a.m. boot camp class. My mood is much better and I'm experiencing less mood swings. Lastly, I am enjoying the compliments I'm receiving.
–Theresa | Marketing Specialist | San Francisco, CA
"I'm not as anxious and stressed out over deciding what my body needs. I am eating more mindfully and don't feel deprived in anyway."
My work with Renee has been HUGE to help me really work on the places in which my suffering manifests as self-sabotage. I can't thank her enough for the perspective and healing she helped me step in to. I'm feeling good in my body and am motivated to take care of myself because I have a strong sense of purpose and self-compassion. I'm not as anxious and stressed out over deciding what my body needs. I am eating more mindfully and don't feel deprived in anyway.
I now sleep wonderfully and feel refreshed and energized for the day. I'm definitely cooking more and eat at least two meals at home daily, which is a big step from a few months ago. I'm eating fresh food, and really as little processed foods as possible. And, I don't crave sugar and desserts as much anymore. I'm not as ashamed about my choices and actually own that I really enjoy food, just like everybody else. That's a wonderful feeling, full of ease and joy.
–Ashna Chowdury | Leadership Coach + Consultant | Dhaka, Bangladesh
"I no longer feel like I'm battling with my body.
I feel like my body and my mind are finally partners!"
Prior to working with Renee, I had very little appreciation of what my body did for me on a daily basis. I often underestimated its strength and definitely didn't listen to the messages it was sending me. Over the past few months, I've come to recognize what my body is capable of and have worked to treat it with more respect. This has given me greater peace of mind, as I no longer feel like I'm battling with my body. I feel like my body and my mind are finally partners!
I make much more conscious food choices today as I've become wise to what really makes me feel good, and what does not. My digestion changes have been the most transformational aspects of working together. My digestion used to be erratic and unpredictable; I'm now very regular and have little to no bloat.
During stressful times at work, I used to crave wine or ice cream at the end of the day, but by taking time for myself and getting more rest, I was able to find satisfaction in other ways. I also used to have very strong caffeine and salty snack cravings in the afternoon but was able to entirely eliminate them!
My physical activity is incredibly more consistent and my energy level is much more constant throughout the day, rather than the severe highs and lows I used to experience. This makes my daily life much more productive and my mood much happier!
I am more comfortable in my body and feel my mind and body are better aligned. I have surprisingly lost a little over 5 pounds. I find this surprising because it's been a very natural process, without thinking about being on "a diet."
Lastly, working through these various issues has brought me closer to my partner, as he has supported me and participated on this journey.
–Nicole M. | Consultant | San Francisco, CA
"She helped me focus on what nourishes me most in life (i.e. creativity, relationships, career, etc.) so as to not obsess over food and exercise."
I will never forget Renee. Unfortunately, I only had 8 sessions with her, mainly because I'm moving to another country and couldn't commit to more than that during my transition. If I can, I'd love to work with her again (she does do Skype sessions).
Renee brought an immense amount of calm into my life as a result of our 8 sessions together. She taught me how to listen to my breath. She taught me that beauty is so much more multi-dimensional than the physical. She helped me focus on what nourishes me most in life (i.e. creativity, relationships, career, etc.) so as to not obsess over food and exercise. She taught me how to listen to my body - its hunger, its pain, its anxiety, its gifts and hints.
I've worked with personal trainers. I've attempted short-lived juice cleanses. I've tried high intensity home workouts. Nothing has come close to matching the long-term impact Renee has had on my health and well-being. Renee has helped me shift my mindset, as well as my relationship with food and my body, and I am eternally grateful to her for that.
–Paloma Aelyon | Storyteller | San Francisco, CA
"Renee helped me to get rid of labeling any of my actions around food as 'bad' and she encouraged me to be curious about my patterns instead of judgmental."
I asked the universe for a compassionate "nutritionist" and Renee was the answer.
Renee has a healing and warm energy. I felt cared for the minute I met her.
About a year after having my son, I continued to eat comfort food and in large quantities. I first sought the help of a different nutritionist here in the city, and she spoke to me in a shaming way. Yikes. I knew at that moment that I needed someone who would honor MY decision to change and encourage me versus punish me.
And that is when I asked the universe to help me find a "compassionate nutritionist".
I found Renee on Yelp and felt she was the one. I was right.
Renee helped me to get rid of labeling any of my actions around food as "bad" and she encouraged me to be curious about my patterns instead of judgmental. When I confessed to her some of my habits, she responded with "it sounds like you had a need and were doing your best to take care of yourself."
This sentiment would go on to lay the foundation of my work with Renee. She helped me to see that true change can never come from a place of negative self-talk or feeling guilty for my behaviors. Instead, we focused on love of myself and love of my body. From there, self care and nutrition can flow. It makes so much sense, but it is so antithetical to our culture and the way we discipline ourselves into short-term gains.
My last session with Renee was about a month ago. But, I have continued to take away her encouragement to investigate instead of blame and to be gentle and kind to myself. I feel with this foundation, I will never look at food or exercise in the same black/white and good/bad way again. And, my experience with this change shows me it is a truth that lasts and continues to provide positive results.
–Jessica B. | Senior Director | San Francisco, CA
"Renee's individualized, thoughtful approach to eating, body, and life has changed my life in these few short months."
When I first looked at Renee's website, I was worried about the holistic approach and was worried she'd make me do yoga. I just wanted to focus on the food. After over 4 months of working with her, however, I would recommend Renee to everyone! Many reviewers here have written very eloquently about their positive experiences, and my experience mirrors those. She did not make me do yoga, but a holistic approach was really what I (and I think all of us) need.
Renee's individualized, thoughtful approach to eating, body, and life has changed my life in these few short months. She is very generous with her time and our work was tailored to me and what I needed. This is not a diet and Renee doesn't try to sell you anything. It is more like therapy for how you approach food and body issues, as well as the rest of your life. I pretty much thought of her as my health and wellness coach. It has been hard work and like everything, you get out what you put in, but the reward is worth it.
I'm not going to say that 20 years of disordered eating is gone after 4 months of working with Renee, but I'm well on my way to an unencumbered relationship with food, and for that I am forever indebted to Renee. Please go see her, or at least have a free initial consultation and get a feel for her style and approach. You will not regret it!
–Meredith Z. | Environmental Consultant | Oakland, CA
"Renee was my Sacagawea on the 12-week journey to control my eating and drinking habits and bring more power back to my everyday life."
Renee was my Sacagawea on the 12-week journey to control my eating and drinking habits and bring more power back to my everyday life.
She was able to make wise connections on the fly between things that were going on in my life and the ideas that I had about them. A lot of these connections represented revelations that had the effect of diffusing chronic bad habits almost immediately--habits that I'd tried to break a thousand other ways before. As a result, I am absolutely more effective in my personal and professional life and I feel better in my body, too.
I reached most of my (many) goals and feel more balanced in my life. I also know myself better now, which makes all the difference when trying to make major changes.
One major breakthrough that Renee helped me through was to realize how sleep, or rather the lack of sleep, was having such a universal effect on me and my ability to both control unhealthy urges and identify unhealthy patterns of behavior. As we progressed, I made it a point to get more sleep and realized that a lot of the bad behavior went away. I also was better at noticing what was going on with me.
As a testament to the term "holistic" to describe her approach, we identified unhealthy communication patterns and internal storytelling that were leading to unsuccessful and often contentious work relationships. She armed me with some really useful tools to help me parse that stuff.
One thing I really liked about Renee's approach was that she actually does the work around your particular issues. She'll research things and dig into it, often giving very good tools and ideas to work with as a result.
I would unreservedly recommend her to anyone who feels they could use a wise guide to get to that place that they want to be. Whatever your path, she knows the terrain.

"The best gift I've given myself in quite a long time."
It has been over 4 months since my first session with Renee and I've so far lost 20 pounds by making changes that are easy for me to commit to and are sustainable. Thankfully, none of these changes included me going on a diet or depriving myself.
Renee is way more gifted than that.
She believes that hunger is not limited to what your stomach feels, so she worked with me to identify key areas in my life that needed nourishment. This was very valuable to me then and now and I believe it will continue to be so moving forward.
My sessions and exercises with Renee were always very introspective, challenging and intense yet I looked forward to each one. I walked away from each interaction with a little bit more hope, confidence, and clarity. Renee broke down my big challenges into little actionable items and in a timeline that worked for me.
The most valuable take-away I can share from my experience with Renee is knowing I didn't need to go very far in my journey to succeed and that I have everything I need to be healthier: I simply need to pause, look inward, and listen.
The opportunity to work with Renee is definitely the best gift I've given myself in quite a long time.

"To say that Renee is like having your own support system / champion / greatest cheerleader is putting it lightly."
Renee is one of the things that made 2014 such an impactful year for me. I have to believe that she crossed my path for a reason and I feel so blessed that I was able to work with her.
I met her at one of her Sugar Craving talks. I really liked what her talk was about and even though I knew quite a bit about fitness and nutrition, I thought it might be a good idea to meet with her. I scheduled the preliminary consultation and knew from that very first call that she was someone who would help me "see the light" about so many things.
To say that Renee is like having your own support system / champion/ greatest cheerleader is putting it lightly... :)
It's hard to summarize all that I learned from Renee but I would say that I could lump it into these categories:
- Nutrition: Learning about healthier eating -- incorporating greens into my diet on a regular basis and slowing down to enjoy my food. Non-distracted eating was the most helpful. I never realized how 'bad' I was with reading/texting while I was eating my meals.
- Growth: The biggest area for change is seeing how much one can grow. My personal growth in the time since I met Renee has grown leaps and bounds. I never realized how much I had to work on until we began speaking. It's really been eye opening and the talks have helped so much.
- Acceptance: Learning to accept reality as it is. Learning that one can love themselves even if their shape is not ideal. No more "should have's." I live in "I should have" and wasn't even aware until she pointed it out. I really never could come to a place of acceptance had I not realized what had been holding me back.
Thanks to Renee and this year of growth, I seem to be happier and more at peace. Maybe I'm still not at my ideal weight but at least I'm starting to be in a place of acceptance. I've gained so much more that it would be fine to stay the same weight with the knowledge and understanding I have now.
You are so much more empowered knowing about acceptance, self-compassion, and incorporating gratitude into your daily life that I wouldn't trade that for a few pounds.

"Oh my lord.
I feel completely awesome in my body now!"
Oh my lord. I feel COMPLETELY AWESOME in my body now! I don't think my weight has changed much, but the way I'm carrying it and enjoying it is the major change. I look forward to getting up, exercising, and getting dressed!
I feel more energetic and CONFIDENT! I feel more balanced and have the ability to strategize my time more efficiently. I've learned to not bite off more than I can chew (literally and figuratively). My stress level has diminished considerably. I'm in a realistically more positive mood. It's not a surface happiness, it's radiating from within.
I have noticed a distinct drop in cravings. When I do have one, I take the sacred pause and ask myself why I want that particular "thing." If I do give in, I don't carry guilt. This is another HUGE take-away from our work together.
The things I've been struggling with all my life no longer feel shameful or embarrassing. Realizing my challenges are not things that are wrong with me or parts of me that are broken, that they are gifts, things to learn from—this is one of the most comforting things Renee revealed to me.

"Her holistic approach has positively affected my career, relationships, spirituality, work-life balance and home environment."
Renee is such a rock star! I worked with her for about a year on a nutrition plan that would support my health changes. She supported me as I had to move to a gluten-free diet and beyond that she guided me to address a lot of holistic health and well-being issues.
She is one of the most approachable, caring professionals I have ever met. She loves what she does and you can see that in her commitment, knowledge and ability to receive the client every time in a deep way. She balances the science, and has a very holistic approach to her practice beyond pure nutrition. She made it feel simple while complex and was there for me every time I needed support and guidance.
What I got out of the experience:
Healthy food choices to support overall health and special dietary needs. Cooking tips and targeted weekly grocery shopping list have supported my overall health in a way I though was not possible (I wish I would have taken a before and after picture of my fridge and could post it here)
I have completely changed my cooking and eating out/travel meal habits to support my optimal health
All this has had very positive affect on my energy, mood and even relationships (now people around me are excited to try new things and support me on this journey while getting benefits from it through my cooking)
Renee supported me in looking at all aspects of my life beyond pure nutrition. Her holistic approach has positively affected my career, relationships, spirituality, work-life balance and home environment
I am so grateful that I found Renee and it has been such a blessing to work with her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for support in this area but who is willing to work with her to make it happen. She can't do it for you :).
With deep gratitude--thank you Renee!

"One of the most fulfilling and empowering experiences I've had in a long time."
Working with Renee these past four months has been one of the most fulfilling and empowering experiences I've had in a long time.
One of my biggest insights was when Renee helped me realize that planning could be my friend and that I do need to spend time planning what I'm going to eat. I have been so resistant to planning in the past, but I realized that I can plan my food with the same thoughtfulness and attention that I use when planning what I'm going to wear or how I'm going to get somewhere. Now that I see it, it seems so like "duhhhh" but I wasn't able to see it until Renee pointed it out so skillfully.
Another great accomplishment of our work together is that now my partner and I go to the Farmers' Market every Sunday. This has become one of the highlights of our week. When we come back, we prep all the vegetables we buy and make a big pot of soup for the week ahead; this is one of the ways in which planning for the week became much easier for me.
I've also stopped drinking diet soda and crave sweets less in the afternoon. Renee helped me understand that including protein in my meals will help my energy stay up longer. So I started to have an apple with almond butter for my afternoon snack; it's delicious, it fulfills my sweet craving, and it help me feel satisfy until dinnertime. I used to call sodas "my fun drink" because I didn't like drinking water. Renee taught me that I can have fun flavoring my water with fresh fruit and herbs. So far, my favorites are mint water or mint and strawberry water—really delicious and, needless to say, much better than sodas.
I feel lighter in my body and lost 7 pounds, which was a very pleasant surprise as I had not weighed myself for four months. This makes me feel very hopeful that it is possible to actually lose weight after spending so much time thinking I would never be able to. I've learned that I can appreciate my body as it is, rather than always wanting it to be different. In fact, I created and performed a theatre piece based on body acceptance that was well received by women and men alike.
Before this program, I was exercising in a very aggressive way. Every exercise form I've ever tried was always tainted with the expectation that it would make me lose weight. So after trying for some time and realizing my weight wasn't changing, I would think it wasn't a good exercise for me and would try something else. Now, I'm not doing nearly as much exercise and I've started to integrate morning walks. This has helped me see that exercise can be something I do for enjoyment, and not just be a way to lose weight. It has also helped me enjoy and appreciate life more and be gentler with myself.
This program also helped me with my creativity and personal growth. And, it indirectly helped my partner as well.
I appreciate Renee so much for every single minute she spent listening to, feeling, containing, protecting, guiding and helping me. More than anything, Renee has been a mirror for me—a mirror that reflected back to me my long lost confidence in myself.
Thank you Renee, so much!

"Working with Renee was an excellent investment in my future health and well-being."
Working with Renee was an excellent investment in my future health and well-being. I met Renee at a talk she gave about reducing sugar in your diet. I had just tried the latest fad around the office, cold turkey eliminating all processed carbs, and was unhappy that I couldn't stay with it. She was able to provide a series of small steps that accomplished larger goals that weren't so extreme and fit much better into my lifestyle.
I learned to elevate the ingredients in my food, rely on the local farmers market, avoid healthy looking snacks that were dense in calories, and tailor healthy habits into my life. I also realized how much stress negatively affected my weight, so we created strategies for more white space at work so I could have time to focus on my healthier diet. It helped me to understand that more than just food nourishes you. Not only did my eating and health improve, but that of my partner and co-workers around me.
I was really lucky to have Renee as a guiding force in helping me to be healthier and happier.

"Now that I'm in tune with my body's needs,
I see that perfection was there all along."
Renee's program has taken me from a place where I was sad to be me, desperate to attain externally acquired goals, and pressing the mute button on my true self. Through her program, I have discovered that ultimately, the best person to listen to about my health, nutrition and physical state is myself. The truth lies within. Knowing that, I no longer feel desperate to attain a goal that I sourced from the outside (lose 10 lbs., eat paleo).
I'm definitely more attune to the needs of my body when it comes to nutrition and food. Not only have I started listening to myself when making nutritional choices, I've also started listening to myself when making choices elsewhere in my life—social life, finances, sleep, activity, work—and trusting my decisions.
I've given up being a critic of my body and instead am grateful for what it gives me and allows me to do. I used to strive for an external perception of "perfection," which is why I saw so many flaws. Now that I'm in tune with my body's needs, I see that perfection was there all along.
I'm not only excited by life, but I'm enjoying being present in my body. Part of this new zest for being alive is that I'm awakened inside. Since I'm giving my body what it asks for, I hardly feel depleted anymore. I feel satisfied, well rested, strong and grounded.
I couldn't feel more accomplished coming out of this program. It has truly changed the way I look at life and the way I listen to myself. Life has been so much more rich, flavorful, truthful, and eye-opening since I learned to listen to my body and my soul. Renee is a huge part of that, and I thank her so much for her guidance and loving kindness!

"I'm more relaxed, happier and focused on enjoying my life rather than the continual weight and diet issues that consumed me prior to doing this work."
I'm more relaxed, happier and focused on enjoying my life rather than the continual weight and diet issues that consumed me prior to doing this work. This has spilled over into my personal and business relationships as I'm less stressed and more able to roll with things.
My weight has gone down a bit, but I feel more comfortable in my body. By focusing on the strength of my body and what it's able to do, I've become less focused on weight and the things that are wrong. This has really changed from how wrapped up I was in diets and fitness programs. I'm now more focused on health, self-care and how I feel in my body. I am spending more time doing activities I enjoy and really focusing on my friends, family and what's going on around me rather than the strict diet mentality I had before.
I've learned to listen to my body, feed it healthy whole foods when it's hungry and distinguish emotional eating for what it is. I further learned to be the compassionate observer when I do have an emotional eating incident and to continue to learn from it.
My 3pm sugar cravings are pretty much gone now. I have more energy and no more digestive issues. My mood is more upbeat and calm, and I'm enjoying a lot more home-cooked food. Plus, my relationship with my husband has improved as we're spending more time together cooking, sharing meals and working out.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Renee. The suggestions and tips she provided were right on target and directed me toward more self-awareness and significantly improved self-care.
–Jennifer S. | Attorney | San Francisco, CA
"It's been amazing to see my goals come true
without it feeling like work!"
Renee taught me the importance of eating with presence. Since working with her, I've become more mindful. I eat with pleasure and in a much slower, more meditative state. I am more aware of portion size, my digestion has improved and I lost six pounds.
All my breakfasts, lunches and snacks are now prepared at home and 80% of my dinners are now home cooked. I now try lots of new vegetables, love cooking new recipes with seasonal ingredients, and have replaced my Lean Cuisine frozen entrees with healthy, yummy homemade frozen dinners. On top of all this, I moved to a new city, landed a new job, auditioned for a play, and began singing lessons.
Renee helped me get focused and clarify what I want from my life. I've realized the Universe is listening and responds favorably when I get clear. By setting small goals in our sessions, I've found it's so much easier to accomplish my larger goals. It's been amazing to see my goals come true without it feeling like work!
–Julie Kuwabara | Creative Technical Producer + Actress | San Francisco, CA
"I am clearer now on how food is feeding some of my emotions and how being hard on myself is not going to give me my desired results."
I appreciated Renee's broad knowledge of many different teachings. She is a compassionate witness and listener and has a great way of bringing insight to situations. Powerful aha moments were revealed on every call as we explored my relationship with pleasure, perfectionism, relaxation, family, food and my body.
By working with Renee, I learned how it feels to have someone there for me, guiding me back to myself. I am clearer now on how food is feeding some of my emotions and how being hard on myself is not going to give me my desired results. Self-compassion, self-love and self-acceptance are the way to a trustful, peaceful and relaxed relationship with my body and my being.
I am feeling better in my body and more grateful for what it enables me to do, like garden, hike with friends and walk with my beloved dog.
It was a real pleasure working with Renee and I look forward to future collaborations.
–Anne McPherson | Entrepreneur | Mason, WA
"If you're craving for a way to reduce your food cravings, look no further than Renee."
"If you're craving for a way to reduce your food cravings, look no further than Renee. With steely patience, she worked with me to weed through the areas of my life that prohibited me from eating mindfully.
In the process, I learned about healthy foods (who knew that kale could be so yummy!), the lost art of chewing, and the vital importance of owning a hot water bottle. All these things and more continue to influence my daily life and now, through the weeds, some vibrant flowers have emerged.
–Stephanie Engelsen | Marketing Director | San Francisco, CA
"I sleep better, have more energy, and my mood is more even. I feel more active and less weighed down by my food choices."
When I started the program, I was making 10% of my meals at home. Now I cook (from whole foods) 90% of my meals. My goal was 80%. I feel way more in control. My boyfriend and I have enjoyed cooking healthy dishes together. I have saved money and know that my meals were made with love and compassion.
My greens, beans and lentils intake increased, and my sugary drinks, dairy and meat consumption decreased. My digestion is better for this. I sleep better, have more energy, and my mood is more even. I feel more active and less weighed down by my food choices.
The meetings were full of information. I really appreciated the knowledge you shared. I liked being held accountable by the group and listening to everyone's experiences. I could see myself so much in the other ladies and that enabled me to extend more compassion to them and myself.
–Suzanne Watson | Project Manager | Oakland, CA
"I used to think about how what I put into my mouth affected my weight. Now I am more interested in
how it affects my health."
Since working with Renee I now think a lot differently about food. I used to think about how what I put into my mouth affected my weight. Now I am more interested in how it affects my health.
I am drinking more water, eating a more nutritious breakfast, taking healthy snacks to work, and saving money by eating leftovers for lunch. I no longer crave coffee midday or ice cream after dinner. I can feel the difference when my diet is good and when it is bad. I never noticed this difference before because I was never really eating clean consistently.
I feel more confident about my family's nutrition, which is a huge concern of mine, especially with another little one on the way. We're eating less processed and more organic foods and lots of different veggies. I now often plan our meals around veggies instead of meat. I prepare about 80% of our meals at home and am using a lot more flavorful sauces and spices. I feel better physically and mentally when my family doesn't eat out as much. I no longer call my best friend and ask her what I should make for dinner; I am building my own repertoire. Yay!
Lastly, my work-life balance is much better. I stopped working after dinner, which has given me more time to spend with my husband and daughter.
–Tamyra Bugarin | Personal Trainer | San Francisco, CA
"I used to crave foods constantly, but now
my cravings aren't as strong. I actually crave
sautéed greens sometimes!"
I really enjoyed working with Renee; she has great energy and enthusiasm. She really cares about her clients and is passionate about her work.
Thanks to Renee I have become more aware of how and what I eat. I have returned to cooking and eating more at home. I now cook with a lot more veggies and spices, eat less processed foods and have a more environmentally friendly diet. Trying different and new foods has expanded my choices and given me healthier alternatives. When I eat well, especially home-cooked food, I feel more satisfied and am in a better mood.
I used to crave foods constantly, but now my cravings aren't as strong. I have discovered I'm not as interested in baked goods or sweetened coffee drinks. I actually crave sautéed greens sometimes!
Renee motivated me to try new recipes and to start going to our local farmers' markets regularly to get really fresh produce. She also encouraged me to explore various volunteering options, find exercise that I like to do, spend more time outdoors, take walks to de-stress, and record my daily intentions. I've dusted off my bike, returned to yoga and alleviated some of my back pain.
The program I did with Renee was more than just an adjustment to my diet, it was a review of many aspects of my life that affected my overall health. Then we tried to integrate changes based on this wider set of data for a more fulfilling result. I would highly recommend working with Renee for anyone really interested in learning how to improve their life through food, exercise and health.
–Andy Webster | Animator | San Francisco, CA
"Without much effort at all I was able to cut my [sugar] intake waaayyyy down, which seems to have diminished my cravings completely!"
I attended one of Renee's 'Sugar Talks' thinking that I basically knew all the evils of sugar and that I would walk away still struggling with my real problem: willpower. Renee had so many insights about how sugar sneaks into your diet and keeps you craving that without much effort at all I was able to cut my intake waaayyyy down, which seems to have diminished my cravings completely!
I have friends telling me that I look more vibrant and my skin looks better and honestly, I have to attribute it to this one hour talk and the changes it inspired in me. Seriously Renee, thank you sooo much! You are a life changer!
–Sarah Reed | Pilates Trainer + Body Worker | Oakland, CA
"I'm achieving the success I've been yearning for.
I am more in tune with what my body is telling me and feel better than I have in years both physically and mentally."
Identifying my energy busters was eye opening! Now that I've kicked the negative energy busters out of my life and allowed more positive energies in, I'm more productive at work and more positive in my personal life.
By focusing on one or two strategies at a time, I'm achieving the success I've been yearning for. I am more in tune with what my body is telling me and feel better than I have in years both physically and mentally. I have even started a regular exercise routine again!
–Megan Kipling | Marketing Manager | Omaha, NE
"It's great to see you can make small changes over time that make a big difference."
I'm paying more attention to the food I have been buying and the food that is available. It's great to see you can make small changes over time that make a big difference. The tools and information that were shared are very empowering. I'm extremely grateful to you, Renee. This was a wonderful gift.
–Bart Duncan | Executive Director | San Francisco, CA
"I can transfer the immense amount of mental energy I exert each and every day around food into a gentle and constant questioning of what it is my body really wants and needs."
The workshop definitely met my expectations. Lots of great knowledge that I'll have for the rest of my life. Cravings are our body's natural signal that something is off-kilter. Very interesting way to consider cravings.
I hope to be able to closely examine the link between my daily habits and moods to cravings. What is it I really want? I can transfer the immense amount of mental energy I exert each and every day around food into a gentle and constant questioning of what it is my body really wants and needs. Thanks a million. This is so wonderful.
–Kate Gagnon | Editor | San Francisco, CA
"Sharing the shame and powerlessness we sometimes feel about sugar made me feel more OK and normal."
Renee's sugar workshop exceeded expectations. The interactive part was stimulating. Sharing the shame and powerlessness we sometimes feel about sugar made me feel more OK and normal. Very good workshop. I'm glad I did it.
–Dave H. | San Francisco, CA
"Before, I could not eat just one--
it would have to be the entire item."
It's been an incredible way for me to see how much I indulged in candy and chocolate. Before, I could not eat just one--it would have to be the entire item. Since the workshop, I'm now paying more attention to why I crave certain things. Renee made all the difference. She is healthy and inspirational about eating good food.
–Annabelle Herrera | Interior Designer | San Francisco, CA

your story was very inspiring. I am in the process of doing a nearly 3000 miles walk from NC to San Francisco CA. I love how you did the live feed. would you mind sharing with me how you did it, pros and cons, and if there is anything you would do different if you were to do it again.
Best wishes.
I see your original route did not go thru Sheboygan, Wi. but you went there anyway. How'd that happen ? I'm originally from there but have been in Branson Missouri the past 10 years so it was a nice trip down memory lane. You missed my Mom's house buy 2 blocks on Sheboygan's north side when you were going past McDonalds.
Just read about you in the Sheboygan Press (Sheboygan, WI) as you walked through our county. Nice article and wow what a journey. I just wanted to say I saw you walking today and you waved. I didn't think anything of it as I thought you just were a friendly person waving, not a person that walked so far. Way to go and stay safe on your journey! You are almost there!
Well of course, you missed God's country, rural Lafayette county, Missouri. I saw you at my family reunion today.
hi don,t know where you are. Hope you are where it is cool. Dodge City is very hot now. 100 to 103 about every day. Have a good time and stay safe. Oland
Hi it was nice to see you in Dodge City Kansas. We were haveing a coke when you stopped
If you are traveling through St. Joseph Missouri we would enjoy hosting you. I am Amy Graves' Mother — she is married to Anne Cowie (MFA in Boston). Anne thought you (and we) would enjoy meeting you. We are older so won't be walking but we would love to have you stay here overnight.

A suggestion? Perhaps Laura could add a pushpin or photo to the Google Map each day, to mark her progress? It would be cool to see a picture of her hosts each evening.
