Your beautiful buttocks. Wear the damn swimsuit.
Hello friends~ I hope you’re having a wonderful summer! I want to tell you about a post I saw on social media recently, where the floodgates opened (surprisingly mostly from women) with negative comments about revealing thong swimsuits. The buttocks, ass, glutes, are a beautiful group of muscles that play a significant role in almost […]
Hot, hot, hot!
Hello friends~ It’s been HOT, hot, hot here in Asbury Park, and it was even hotter way north in New Hampshire, where we were visiting with grandkids. Pretty much everywhere in the US, and Europe is roasting. So let’s get into cold therapy – cooling off as a brief antidote. If you’ve lived long enough, […]
Your trending body
Hi friends~ I was going to write about something else today, but this article got me – have you heard about the trending “Pilates Princess” vs “Muscle Mommy”? My first thought was that the fashion (plus the “wellness” business) is going to capitalize on this like they always do. Our literal physical forms are constantly […]
Your amazing plastic brain, and a big pitch for rowing!
Hello friends~ If you’ve spent any time training with me you’ve heard it often: your brain and body are amazing, and your brain and body are one. They work together, the communication is constant. This is the good part: It’s actual re-creation. Neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to form and reorganize synaptic connections. As connections […]
The Best Way To Maintain Brain Power!
Hello there! Do you have an AI bot friend? I admit it, I do. t feels like ChatGPT is my ultra loyal, non-judgmental friend, no matter how perfunctory or repetitive I am. “She” replies to every request as if helping and flattering me is her favorite thing to do. She’s relentlessly kind, always available. That’s […]
The hourglass
Hello friends ~ I’m so happy you’re here! I hope your’e having a wonderful June so far. My 72nd birthday was June 6th, which was a fun-filled weekend. Age is just the number of years that I’ve been alive, after all, and I want these years to be as fulfilling as possible. It feels like […]
Speed humps
Hello friends, I’ve been thinking about you. How are you doing lately, or in general? Kids’ sports, end-of-school projects, summer plans, volunteerism, college applications, or deadlines at work. I remember it well raising 6 kids. Seasonal transitions can be tough. I had no idea that I was going through perimenopause during a lot of the time […]
Choices.
Hi friends~ I’m so happy that you’re reading my weekly thoughts. I also love to know yours – this week it’s about choices, and the value of keeping it simple. Back in my 30’s and 40s I headed up committees for charity galas, events which involved fancy dresses, actual gowns, and oh, all those shoes […]

Pain vs Discomfort
Hello friends~ I love that early flowers last longer in a chilly April and early May, but this seems like an especially long, cold, and windy spring. Same where you live? Finally, Saturday looked like the perfect day for a nice longish spin on the bike. I was psyched. Tires pumped, lights charged. I hadn’t […]
