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.
My mother-in-law turned 95 this summer. She has seen and done a lot during those years. She raised three children, was a dedicated military wife, managed a bank branch, golfed, made friends she still has today… Of course, that is just the tip of the iceberg…a small sampling of what she has experienced in her…
Here we are again, nearing the end of another month. Admittedly, I’m a week early for the WOTY Link-up, but since I plan to be on vacation next week…connecting with friends I haven’t seen for two years…and with the ocean, which I also have not seen for two years…I thought I’d write my April word…

My sisters and I shared a moment recently, laughing nervously about the basic things we sometimes forget…a keypad code we’ve used hundreds of times, where to turn when driving to a popular destination, the spelling of a common word. The list goes on. What does it mean? Just that we are getting older? Too much…

Hello. I’d like to introduce you to someone interesting and complex, someone you should definitely get to know…YOU! A typical introduction begins with your name and one of your many roles: This is my husband, Larry…I’d like you to meet our sales manager, Cindy…Say hello to my best friend, Margie. Depending on the circumstances of…
With COVID and the flu season in full swing, you may be looking for anything that will help build your immune system. I went snooping around the internet and found some surprising things that may help…and certainly can’t hurt. Please remember I am not a doctor or medical expert of any kind. I don’t even…
When you envision your Christmas, does it look like a Norman Rockwell Christmas…and then when it arrives, it’s more like A Christmas Story? It can be frustrating, especially if you try to force things or keep going over and over in your head how “it should be.” Or maybe you are missing loved ones this…
My mother was right about a lot of things. I wrote a whole post about lessons I learned from her. But she got this one wrong…sorry Mom. Coffee is not sinful. In fact, coffee is heavenly…it’s right up there with meditation, music, books, and nature walks…all indispensable. I started free writing this morning with the…
