Welcome to Live Life in Full Color

A blog by Dr. Ellen Harris

This blog is a reflection of my personal mantra—to live life in full color by embracing gratitude, peace, and wisdom in everyday moments. Here, I share pieces of that journey: the joy of growing and preparing nourishing food, the calm found in yoga and mindful movement, and the insight gained through journaling, travel, photography, nature, gardening, books, and the beauty of handcrafted textiles.

Live Life in Full Color is a space to celebrate a life well-lived—rooted in wellness, creativity, and connection. I hope these reflections inspire you to slow down, look closer, and find your own rhythm of gratitude, peace, and wisdom.

Releasing 2023; Wisely, Peacefully and Gratefully Entering 2024

Continue to carry on my little tradition of basically using the same title, except for two switch ups. I’m closing out the year with this post tradition rather than starting the new year with it.

October Beginnings

The 3 voices described back in August – gardener/wanna be a farmer voice, the creative expression voice, and the spiritual/meditative/wanna be with nature voice – were beautifully captured in video by my son, Jeremy Harris, the latter half of September.

Grateful and Flummoxed at the Same Time

Wildfire smoke from Canada in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC last week. Thunderstorms and hail in Greenville, MS last night. Mother Nature has certainly been doing her thing in June 2023.
