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.

Surviving March Madness (and Not Talking About Basketball)!

Gratefully, Peacefully, Wisely Stepped Out Of 2022 Into 2023
Holding on to my little tradition, I continue to basically use the same title, except that instead of zooming and retiring, I’m stepping out of 2022 into 2023.

June's Garden
June is almost over. I have more pictures than words to capture garden life at Three Blessings Yoga Farm and Wellness Center.

New Garden Beginning
Got over being sad that I'd lost everything in the greenhouse after big ice freeze in January. Welcome to a new garden beginning at 3 Blessings Yoga Farm and Wellness Center.


October Ending, November Beginning (Copy)
As I approach my 70th rotation around the sun at the end of the year, I acknowledge all of me. My strengths and challenges are embraced.

Saying Good-bye to August in 3 Voices
I’m calling this blog post “Saying Good-bye to August in 3 Voices” because there are several sides to me and at times, I even confuse myself as to who’s talking when.

Highs and Lows of Garden Life
After a week away, I arrived home late Thursday night knowing that my heart would probably sink a bit the next morning.

Finding Peace …
Most mornings my routine involves walking with my puppy, yoga practice and meditation. During these crazy, chaotic times, I find that this routine sets the tone for the day. Please take a look at how I use this routine and a few other ways to find peace.
