Ah. Another Hallmark Holiday! While it is marketed as a time to celebrate romance and love, historians seem to believe that its origins have little to do with love! Supposedly there was some feast where men sacrificed goats and dogs and whipped women’s asses with the hides of the slain animals. I know. That was …
I have to admit that the last few weeks have been a bit of a struggle. The news just goes from bad to worse. It’s rare that they report on anything positive. Or is it just me? Politics. Global warming. Inflation. Trump. Racism. (redundant) I mean, talk of civil wars and s#*t! Really? It’s a …
“I’m talking square biz to you, baby. Square, square biz!” Nope. This post isn’t about Tina Marie. I’m sorry, I just wasn’t a fan. Sorry Rick. Sorry Tina. Okay. Funny story. Well, is is to me. I’m going to lose a few of you on this, but where are my 70’s Jackson 5 fans? Michael …
If you’ve been with me for a while, you know that the purpose of this blog is to share anti-aging, inspirational, and health focused information and experiences. (As well as a funny story or two.) The original concept was to write for women. (And the men that loved them.) Clearly, I wanted men to understand …
WOW. That was the name of a podcast I intended to produce with my daughter. It stood for Whine Over Wine, or Wine over Whine, I kept changing my mind. It could also stand for Women on Women. (And not in a sexual way! No fantasy here. This here is real!) It could stand for …
The Skinny on Fats – The Big Fat Lie Confused about fat? Well, join the club! It’s difficult not to be. For decades fat was vilified. We were told that eating dietary fat would make us fat. I’m guessing you’ve heard that saying, “Fat goes from your lips to your hips!” I like to call …
Reduce Sugar – Less sugar consumption will reduce inflammation, cholesterol, improve heart health, result in weight loss, lower blood pressure, improve skin, improve sleep, increased energy…..shall I continue? Or do you get the point?   Get to Stepping (And yes, my Midwest friends, that stepping counts too!) Meditation – Helps to reduce stress, boost immune …
That includes me! I own a mirror. And yes, I talk to myself. I definitely need to do better. I will never stop trying to do better. If not for myself, for those that love and need me. And, for those that I love. For example, I’ve said this many times, but I know I …
While the past week was extremely stressful, it was also a much-needed reminder. Tomorrow is not promised, and TODAY IS A GIFT! Time is our most valuable and limited resource. The time I would typically spend researching and writing a post was spent taking care of, and spending time with family and close friends! So, …
This one is going to be short, but not sweet! I spent the weekend in the hospital! No as a patient. As a family member. As an observer. A very worried and very unhappy observer. Multiple doctors popped in and said nothing. And don’t dare ask them questions. They don’t seem to have any answers …
