Society tells us menopause means we’re old and it’s all downhill from here. I want to call BULLSHIT on all of it!
Who’s with me?
A New Year. A new opportunity to retain or return to a more youthful body & mind. As we step into the New Year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our habits and set intentions for a healthier, more vibrant life. This year, let’s forget the ‘resolutions’ and instead keep it simple. Embark on a journey of living and…
Menopause, and its predecessor perimenopause, are finally getting their much-needed time in the limelight. Good thing. By learning what’s going on with their bodies, women at least stand a chance of being able to get through it more healthfully and comfortably. Unlike their predecessors, like women my age who didn’t have the internet to educate themselves. However, I can’t help but…
Sometimes the struggle is real.And you just have to allow it to be so. Then comes the question: How do you allow the struggle to be real, accept it but not go down the tunnel and become anxious or depressed about the things you can’t control? It’s all about choosing your thoughts which, by its very nature, is a lesson…
I’ve always been an advocate for meeting people where they are and helping them move forward in a simple way.

If you read my blogs regularly, you know I had a birthday recently. And because I love food & love life, my birthday celebrations included 3 different groups of friends over a few days. By the time Monday came around (my birthday was on a Thursday), I was feeling just a bit bloated and sluggish. So I returned my clean…
I have a milestone birthday coming up the next week. You know, one of THOSE birthdays where you look back & wonder, “How did I get here?” Where you look ahead and wonder, “What does the future hold in store?” and “What do I have left that I’m still committed to doing?” Those who know me well know I’m not…
Bicycling 10,000 foot mountain passes at over 60 years old?! Crazy, you may say. But that’s what I’ll be doing 2 weeks from now at this time. It’s all about living my best life. So the obvious/sometimes not-so-obvious connection comes in.You know, the one where people say, “You’re so lucky you’re still healthy enough to do that.” And I gently say,…
