My Black is NOT Cracking.

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

I just moved and I swear to you, while I may not live in this new house forever, (especially if my retired neighbors don’t stop cutting their grass daily!) all the stuff I just moved, might!  The new owners can keep this stuff or sell it! I just know one thing and that is that …

I am desperately trying to get back to my weekly posts, but for the past few days, (actually for over a week now) I have been experiencing some chest pains. I started thinking about a post that I had written a while back on broken heart syndrome. I mean, my heart is definitely broken. Could …

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 …

I’m back.  Sorta. This post is going to feel redundant based on my last few, (which were a few months ago now! I’m trying!!!) but it’s really bugging me, and I just feel the need for a recap!  I promise! This is the last time.  I’m also doing fifty-eleven things, so please forgive any typos. …

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 …

Does anyone remember the movie Barefoot in the Park?  Once again, I’m dating myself and reaffirming my love of rom-coms. But, I’m not talking about the 1967 (And no! I wasn’t old enough to be into romantic comedies in 67!) Neil Simon rom-com film starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford.  I think it was adapted 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!) I was trying to figure out for myself how to feel better, both physically …

I know. I have posted on this subject before, but I felt like we, (including myself) needed a reminder! If you are of a certain age, you remember the time when there were no cell phones.  There was no internet.  If you wanted to learn something, you went to the library and checked out a …

What it is? Where it is? What is does?  I got through 50 some years without ever hearing the word vagus and suddenly, like the words “wellness” and “plant based,” I started to hear the word vagus all the time.  Actually, it wasn’t until I started researching the benefits of using essential oils for stress …

Inflammation. Inflammation. Inflammation. Another one of those words you hear repeatedly, following “wellness,” and “plant-based!” Quite honestly, I never gave it much thought. I remember learning about inflammatory diets and how they affected your body in my culinary program, but that was 20 years ago and I can’t say I’ve given it much thought since …
