Is working out at the bottom of your list?
Hello friends. I’m so happy you’re here! Does this sound like you? Women often say lack of time is the top reason that they don’t work out. Training is at the bottom of the list, as if it’s a luxury. I know. I do it too. Juggling a gazillion things, some self-inflicted, some non-negotiable, and […]
Government upheavals in healthcare cause uncertainty and confusion
Hello my friends~ How are you feeling? Sometimes I have to remind myself to breathe. It seems like we’re being bombarded with stressors, and it’s hard to process it all. I’ve started to do TM, which has kept me more centered. More on that in another post. Upheavals in government systems will affect everyone in […]
Masculinity. Strong men support women.
Hi friends~ I’m trying to avoid opening news articles about the state of the world and politics. Maybe you too? Sometimes a news bite is unavoidable, like this toxic crap, and it really got me going. Zuckerberg says that workplaces need to “man up” – become more masculine. He says that masculine traits like aggression […]
Not your fault. Perimenopause BS
Let’s get this straight right now. It’s not your fault. You are not to blame, and your lifestyle is NOT the reason you have perimenopause symptoms. There is no “should”, and there is no “right” way to manage hormone fluctuations. Perimenopause is 100% natural, and every woman will go through it. It’s not a […]
KISS
I’ve had a similar convo theme going with friends and clients over the past few weeks. Resolutions, habits, behavior change, being conscious, goals…maybe you’ve been with me in one of those conversations. Do this, and don’t do that has been the subject of articles and social media forever, and honestly I am beyond over it. […]
Resolutions or not?
Hellooo friends, Here we are almost a week into 2025. Time really does fly faster every year as we age. To make the most of it we can make conscious choices about how we use time, and with whom we spend it. Resolutions or not, it’s up to you. Last week I wrote about […]
My resolution, maybe.
Hellooo friends~ Someone asked me the other day what my New Year’s resolution(s) is/are, and I said I don’t believe in making resolutions. How about you? Most of the time New Year’s resolutions are punitive, and imply that you need fixing – lose weight, stop drinking, start exercising, get a hobby, start or stop doing things. […]
Right This Very Minute
Hello friends~ Christmas is just 2 days away. The holiday season seems to start earlier every year, and I admit that it’s been a bit harder this year to conjure up the spirit. We got started right away with garlands, strings of lights (which had to be hung twice thanks to squirrels), the German candle spinner, […]
A quick break
Hi friends~ I’m writing days early since I’ll be away for the Monday Thoughtbox. It’s a weekend trip – a quick break – not to visit kids and grandkids, just for us alone. Not something I could’ve done while the kids were growing up. It was sometimes bonkers with 6 kids activities, school, sports, concerts […]
Aging bursts
Hello all you beautiful people at any age. How are you doing as the weeks move forward through the holidays – if you’re a parent it’s school plays, concerts, end of year projects, papers, and grading for you teachers out there? I sure am glad that I’m past “aging bursts” I knew something was happening […]
