Please excuse me while I tend to not only my broken heart but my injured body! Two weeks after my Noodle’s accident, a Doordash driver decided to add neck, back, and shoulder pain to my already broken heart. (Along with a totaled vehicle. I mean… because why not?) #therapy I hope to feel better soon.

What to do. From the moment we wake up we are making decisions. We make choices. What to eat. What to wear. What we will do first. To some extent, how our day will go. Those decisions start with thoughts. We have thoughts and we make decisions based on those thoughts. Some think of others …
THIS POST WAS WRITTEN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. I FORGOT TO UPLOAD THIS YESTERDAY. So, originally, my collaborator, John (Jay) Washington was going to do the Father’s Day post. Unfortunately, (for me) he has a lot going on and let me know he wouldn’t have time. Jay’s living his best life, and I ain’t mad at …
There are no words to describe the heartbreak. On Tuesday, May 31st, I texted my granddaughter the following text message about safe driving. Four days later she would die in a speeding car in the very way I spoke of in my text. (As the passenger!) One side of my heart is broken due to my …

Lately, I have become increasingly anxious about driving anywhere. I heard some statistic recently that automobile accidents have increased by some ridiculous amount. I want to say 40%, because I’m too lazy to look it up. Everyone appears to be in such a rush to get wherever they are going. You get folks passing you …

I asked my blog contributor, John (Jay) Washington to write this week’s post so I could have some much-needed time off. I scheduled myself off for a long weekend following a damn-near eighty-hour workweek the week prior. I decided I would even treat myself to a long overdue massage as a Mother’s Day gift from …
Well, 125 posts and over 6000 views ago, I decided to launch this blog to not only share the things that I had learned about healthy living and aging, but to share my experiences. (And to run my mouth without getting thirsty!)
