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.

Cookbook Club Sunday Dinner - Vision Board and More

I created the Cookbook Club Sunday Dinner in early 2016 to bring friends together who liked to cook, explore foods of the African Diaspora, and hold conversations about food and community, while enjoying each other’s company.
