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 …
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 …

I’ve mentioned this in many a post, but one of the biggest health challenges I currently face seems to be managing stress. Although I have put myself on a restricted Don Lemon diet (no I’m not eating Don Lemon or following some Don Lemon diet plan! I’m talking watching Don Lemon!) I definitely need to …
I was listening to one of the podcasts that I subscribe to last week and the topic was the female brain, and how aging and hormones affect women’s and men’s brains differently. The woman was Dr. Lisa Mosconi, a Ph.D founder of Women’s Brain Initiative and associate director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Clinic, and Assoc. …
I was online last weekend looking at tiny homes. As if. My current closet could double as a tiny home! I also watched a Netflix doc on minimalism. Basically, it’s about rediscovering or discovering the important things in life. (Getting rid of the rest!) And while I have no desire to live out of a …
It’s been a rough few weeks. I don’t know who this Murphy character is or why he has a law (And I didn’t really care enough to do the research.) but that law certainly seemed to fit my life experiences of late. “If anything can go wrong, it will.” If you read my recent posts, …
