With Spring comes a renewed desire to get things done. For me that includes tackling my continually-expanding reading list!! I always feel like I have way more books to read than I have time for. But…little by little…page by page…I do get a few read. Need a book idea or two? Check out my 2023
Salmon is such a great weeknight dinner. It’s quick to thaw, fast to cook, versatile to flavor & oh so good to eat! The only downside is that lots of salmon recipes seem to have sugary sauces that go on top. In my search for no-sugar recipes, I came across this one. It’s really quite
As some of you know I play piano. I’ve been taking lessons & playing in recitals for years & years & years & years…. Aside from my love for the instrument & classical music, I find my piano practice to be the perfect place to experiment & learn. When I try new practice & performance
For adults, signing up for learn-to-swim lessons is always a challenge. Unfortunately, we often let our fears & egos hold us back. So, it’s particularly important that, when we make the decision to take swim lessons, we set aside fear & ego to learn to swim. What do we fear…besides the water itself? We

We both (me as the coach & the coach as the student) have to watch for the often inaccurate assumption that mastery will come quickly. After all, coaches are really good at the skill sets they teach & they’re often quite
Curries are one of my favorite things to cook. They are generally a dump-it-in, let-it-cook sort of meal, they can be adapted to use up whatever’s leftover in your fridge…and they are downright tasty!! This curry is one of my go-to recipes.

Sometimes I forget how long I’ve been coaching & working with people. Twenty-two years ago I started Performance High by offering part-time endurance coaching. Then, in 2011, I added adult swim lessons & group swim workouts. The group swim workouts are the hard one – they start at 5:30AM! Why get up at 5:30AM to swim? Community! That’s where April Howell
I have to admit that I LOVE a recipe that takes basic, perhaps even boring, ingredients & turns them into something amazing! Such is the case with rösti, what many Swiss consider to be their national dish. To be clear – this is NOT a potato pancake. Potato pancakes are made from raw potatoes whereas
