50 Things I’ve Learned in my Half Century of Life

Half a Century! Well, when you put it that way it seems SOOOOOOO, ummm, O*L*D. Ahhh, but some time ago I refused to use 2 words simultaneously — “OLD” and “AGE”, so let’s re-phrase, shall we? How about this: Half a Century = 50 years YOUNG = Seasoned = Wise = Experienced = Slightly Tired = Occasionally Rickety = Finally Uninterested in what others think about me = Intolerant of Bullsh*t = Fabulously Free to…

Diary of a Mad, Menopausal Woman

Just yesterday I was “normal”, whatever that means. But truly, I was. I am sure of it, I think. I mean … it feels like it was just yesterday, right? C’mon foggy brain, you can do this. You can remember. Perhaps “normal” is or was or should be overrated anyway. Does it even matter? YES!…

LIEability

Deep In My Own Head… I was deep in my own head the other day. There’s a lot that swirls around in there – a veritable storm most days not unlike a tornado that blows through and violently collects all things in its path, mixes them together and creates havoc. There’s the gamut of right…

Where Did the Follow Through Go?

I’m not a RESOLUTIONS kinda person — even more so having been in the fitness industry for over 20 years now. At the end of every year and at the beginning of the next, I witness the same thing. Rarely has the pattern changed among the masses. Only a few people have come along the…

With Love, Merrell

I walk into the store wearing my favorite kind of shoes. I’m not even sure I can actually call them “shoes.” Ode to the flip flop…a foot adornment whose name is an onomatopoeia. Flip. Flop. Flippity. Flop. Flop. Flop. My pink toenails are in full view as well as the sparkly, Swarovski crystal anklet.…

That Tribal Dance

I love some good music and some fun dancing. Sure, I’ve been known to do a little jig all by myself in my kitchen while mindlessly cleaning or prepping meals for the upcoming week. However, that’s not exactly the dance I have in mind here, though there are some very similar elements between what it…

Bypassing -vs- Passing By

Ever wonder how some people seem to have off-the-charts discipline in their lives — while others just can’t seem to pull it together if it killed them? Maybe you are one of the Discipline Kings or Queens out there … leading the way, onward and upward! Or, maybe you sit in a totally different camp. …

The Power of SHE!

I’ve never truly considered myself a “toughy” … having that “bad to the bone”, “you can’t touch this” kinda attitude that makes itself known by walking in front of me into a room. Seems to me that true toughies, or rather, the aura of true toughies, makes grand entrances and exits in life. I can…

Quit Doing Crunches!

Spring has just arrived which means that summer and bathing suit season are just around the corner. Most of us share the same thought … “How can I get great abs?” Have you committed yourself to doing hundreds of crunches, yet for some reason have failed to achieve that washboard midsection? Are you frustrated and…
