About

I’m Elizabeth, a forty something woman who loves cooking, reading, jazz music, international travel and perusing blogs. Several years ago, I stepped off of the high-powered career treadmill, in search of my real passion.

Now, after many interesting turns, I am married, working for a non-profit organization and trying to live in a more simple, sustainable manner. Come along for the journey.
