I am
I am a West Virginia farm girl at heart. I thrive on fresh air, big gardens, and lots of trees.
I am a traveler in spirit. I get a rush from foreign cities, foreign languages, foreign cultures.
I am a dancer in body. I flourish in the studio and on the stage, introverted as I am, put me in front of an audience or a room of students and I am at home in my skin.
I am a cook. I am calm and content puttering around the kitchen. Food is art, nutrition, nourishment, an elixer and a comfort.
I am an artist, a writer, a gardener, a teacher, a photographer.
Gracefulfitness started in 2010. I was completely naive about what blogging is or how to do it (still am…) but I needed a project and quickly found that it was a perfect marriage of my passion for photography, writing, food, nutrition, fitness, and creating community.
