One of the items on my Winter Possibilities list was to complete the Orangetheory Fitness Transformation Challenge. I can proudly say “mission accomplished!” This is my seventh year completing this particular challenge. Each time I learn a little something more. What is the Transformation Challenge In short, the eight-week challenge begins with an InBody scan…
The studio The first thing I noticed when walking in the St. George, Utah studio was how bright and clean it was. Spaced around the room were a number of benches similar to what you have probably used if you have ever had physical therapy, except that these benches had little cubbies (shelves) at the…
“When nothing is sure, everything is possible.” ~ Margaret Drabble As you may recall, I chose INTREPID and POSSIBILITIES as my 2025 Words of the Year. These two words together describe my intention for the year. One way of putting that intention into action…and sharing what’s been on my calendar (#WBOYC)…is my Winter Possibilities List….
I am frequently inspired by something I read in a blog post. This time it was a Taking Stock post on Deb’s World. What is Taking Stock? To paraphrase Debbie, it’s a fun creative exercise in which you respond to one word prompts with a quick sentence. You give yourself a few moments to process…

Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!” ~Soren Kierkegaard As…
To participate in life we must experience life through our five senses. We must see the world, hear its subtle messages, smell its flavors, taste its sweetness and touch its surface. D. Wayne Dworsky As part of my Winter Possibilities List I included the idea of creating a sublist of activities centered around each of my senses. That generated some interest among you,…
Friday, January 10, was a holiday…one that you may not have heard of, and yet possibly celebrated without even realizing it. As described by the New York Post: Observed on the second Friday in January, Quitter’s Day recognizes those who begin the year with the best intentions and most robust resolutions, only to throw in…
It’s that time of year when many of us are creating vision boards, or setting resolutions, intentions, or Words of the Year (WOTY). I’ve even seen New Year’s Rejections…things people want less of in their lives. Throughout my life, I’ve tried a mixture of all of these. My WOTY history I chose my first ever…
