My Self Imposed Silent Retreat

I have spent the past few days completely alone.  Except for the constant company of my two dogs, I have taken the past few days to hunker down just by myself. We have had what is almost a real little "cabin in the woods" for quite some time.  Due to the boys' growing weekend schedules and then … Read more about My Self Imposed Silent Retreat

Now What?

    Bear with me here.  This is not a health and wellness post which is what I normally post here.  So if you aren't up for a little sappy I don't want to take up your space and I'd love you to come back another day.

Being Well These Days (and of course a workout!)

When I get up these days I take a few seconds to confirm what day of the week it is.  Then, because I am such a good friend, I send text reminders to a few friends who might need that reminder (;  Since today feels like number 3,476,953 days of quarantine, I definitely needed to remind myself that … Read more about Being Well These Days (and of course a workout!)

A Festive Salad and a little encouragement if it’s not a festive time

Since I am not on my regular posting schedule, today may seem a little discombulated as I have two completely different topics to share.  You know if it's on my mind then you'll likely be reading about it. You know I'm a big fan of enjoying a Big Ol' Salad - just about every day.  It's a … Read more about A Festive Salad and a little encouragement if it’s not a festive time

Eat Drink and Be Thankful

This is not a post telling you how to survive Thanksgiving without gaining weight.  I'm not going to offer suggestions such as choose the pumpkin pie over the pecan pie because it's healthier or has less calories.
