I love all things health and wellness–and by wellness, I mean mind, body, and soul. I’m not an expert by any means, but I do have a lot of opinions–developed through study and personal experience. I share them here. I’d love to learn from your experience as well, so I encourage you to share anything and everything about health and wellness.
Mother Nature is temperamental in April…at least where I live…but come May, she settles into spring, and I couldn’t be happier. As we’ve come to the final week of the month, it is time once again to check in on my monthly goal progress and set new goals for May. As a reminder, instead of…
If you asked me what my favorite genre of music is, I’d probably say classic rock or 70s music. I enjoy the Rolling Stones, Carole King, Fleetwood Mac, Simon & Garfunkel, and James Taylor…to name a few. However, when I compiled a playlist for my last Word of the Year, EMPOWERED, I discovered that the…
If you’ve ever received the cold shoulder from someone, you know it can sting, and the discomfort may linger long after the incident. Dealing with that would make a good blog post topic…but that’s a discussion for another day. Today I want to talk about what happens when you get a frozen shoulder and what…
First of all, thank you to everyone who offered encouragement and congratulations on last week’s goal updates. It’s such a gift to have people cheering you on…and holding you accountable. Several of you commented on the three Learning and Growth goals I’ve been considering. Being the overthinker that I am, and considering my tendency to…
However you look at it, we are one quarter of the way through 2024. Shocking really. The good news…from my perspective at least…is that we are approaching one of the most beautiful periods of the year and also I am still going strong with setting and accomplishing my monthly goals. As a reminder, instead of…
Today (March 19) is the March Equinox, the date on which the sun is directly over the Equator, making the day and night of equal length. In the Northern Hemisphere, the March Equinox marks the first day of spring; in the Southern Hemisphere, the first day of autumn. So, for my friends in the Northern…
You know those stories where something terrifying happens to someone, but they survive, and we say how lucky they are…but then we think maybe they aren’t that lucky to have been in that situation in the first place? For example, let’s say a guy gets chased by a bear, but the bear’s not in a…
We’re two months into 2024, and for the most part, my brain seems to have caught up. I only occasionally still refer to 2023 in the date. And the really good news is I am on track to complete all of my February goals. While we still have a week left in this month, I…
We are quickly approaching Valentine’s Day…the day of love, all pink and red, cupids and hearts, chocolates and flowers…a Hallmark delight. Over the years, I have acknowledged Valentine’s Day on this blog with posts about self-care, heart health, and love stories. As I pondered what I wanted to do this year, I decided to take…
We are nearing the end of what I am quite sure is the longest month of the year. Typically, December seems to fly by…and then Father Time takes his foot off the gas, and January stretches on long past its welcome, leaving me feeling like a kid on a too-long road trip. Are we there…
