My Black is NOT Cracking.

I'm not Aging. I'm appreciating in value!

I was trying to decide what my first blog post, post-tragedy, (post talking about tragedy) should be about.  I didn’t want to write about what’s been on my mind, because I’m guessing I’ve depressed ya’ll enough. I’m struggling, but I’m trying.  My Noodle was no quitter.  Nor am I.  (But there have been days. Trust …

A guest post by Barb Fotsch, LCSW To close out Mental Health Awareness Month, I asked my good friend Barb, (who helps us out for a living!) to write the final post for the month.  The topic of the piece was completely her choice.  I can totally relate to this one and I hope you …

“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 …
