Cook By Color

Cook By Color I feed it beautiful, nutritious food that I make with love and care. I take it for walks, adventures and show it many wondrous things.

After years of struggle, trial and error, severe food sensitivities, IBS, thyroid disease, crippling bouts of hopelessness, fear and doubt, I’ve finally embraced a healthy relationship with my body that does not depend on a number on the scale. I nourish it with all the love I can, and make self care a priority, not a best case scenario. With all the things in this big world that I can’t control; I can harness love and respect for this perfectly imperfect bod, and you can for yours too.

This summer came with a syllabus I didn’t see coming // soaking it all in.

Took some time, and feeling infinitely better. 🫶

Hope you are well and living colorFULLY 💫

Philosophy lesson: Everyone’s got opinions (and… you know). Mine is worthy just because it’s mine. Will be sharing more of me exactly as I am.

History lesson: These really are the good old days, and I’m noticing while I’m in them which had been hard for me in recent times. Reconnecting to myself gives me more capacity to prioritize what’s really important to me.

Environmental Science Lesson: Slowing down enough to feel the grass in my toes, the love all around me, the wind in my hair, preferably on Nick’s 40th birthday present 🚤 .

Physical Education: Working toward hot, healthy, and happy; and knowing it’s OK that getting strong and losing weight will make me happier.

Anthropology lesson: Studying my own little Stanley crew and how we love, argue, laugh, and how to support them to be the good people the world needs.

The magic is in the mess, the habits are in the consistency, and forward is still progress, no matter the pace. Loving this season for me. Love showing THEM about true self care. 🌈 🌷💯 🏃‍♀️

What is the colorFULLife?

For me, I’m doubling down to invest my time, energy, and money where it matters! On habits that fuel me, food that excites me, and a life that feels as good as it looks.

I’m in the messy middle (hint: there is no ‘destination’) of actualizing my colorFULLife with community, food, vibrancy, purpose, health.

I’m losing weight, gaining perspective, and slowly giving less energy to how people perceive me. Let them, let me, and let’s live a genuine, messy, evolving life.

Big loss begets true living. The last slide really captures it for me. ✨

Took some time to touch grass, swim in rivers, cry a few, feel sad and sorry, feel grateful and good.

My Oma did a big thing and gracefully and deliberately left us. It was beautiful to know she lived and died on her own terms, and I’m proud of her. I’m so glad I got to love on her, snuggle her and kiss her goodbye.

More has happened than can fit in 10 pics, and I’ll share more. All the beautiful food didn’t make the cut, but I’ll share more in short order!

Stanley Electric Co is up and running! I’m proud to say that Nick and I make a great team in all things, and this is no exception. I really effing love this guy. Love this life. Love these exhausting children.

I’m really starting to feel like myself again, and I’m holding on tight ⚡️Hope you’re hanging in there too!

If I could ever ‘influence’ you to do anything: sink in to your life. Whatever that means to you. ✨🏄‍♀️💗🥰🌊☀️👅💔😘😢😂 feeling it ALL. This ColorFULLife is now. 🌈
