Stress — the second part of a promised two-part piece. Last week we talked about autoimmune diseases and gluten-free diets. The other day, I stumbled across a peer-reviewed medical study from 2008. It was about STRESS. And honestly, it knocked the wind out of me. Because it spoke to so many (mainly) women and me. […]
In 2019 a city councillor named Gala Pin expressed her disapproval of cruise ship tourism: “It’s a plague of locusts [type of] tourism; they devour the public space and leave.” Ms. Pin’s jurisdiction was the Port of Barcelona, Spain. In 2019, Barcelona saw 3.1 million (MILLION) cruise ships arrive at its docks. Today, now that […]
What were you like when you were twenty or even twenty-five? Do you remember? I was confident and brash. I had no idea what would happen in my life, but I knew it would be ginormous. No one would get in my way of showing the world I had swagger, was bright and would one […]
What’s going on in the news these days? Can you re-imagine any differences? In one (yes, just ONE) week in January, we saw the official launch of the book SPARE (salacious details about parts of the life of the gent formerly known as a Prince) the FAA closed the entire US aviation system, stopping 11,000 […]
I have been going to Reformer Pilates for more than a year now. It has been extremely helpful in getting much of my balance back and strengthening my ‘core’. Three of us students are pretty close. One lady has lost nearly 150 lbs in two years — very, very hard work. One lady is a […]
Digitally speaking, writing or blogging is one of the coolest and easiest ways to share thoughts and insights (often referred to as opinions) that are outside the usual. Look for fresh insights and stories each week. Business As Usual Business as usual is an umbrella term that covers all standard, day-to-day business operations. I really like […]
Your Majesty. I couldn’t NOT say something about the death of someone I have known about my entire life. And I am pretty sure you, too, have very likely never known such a visible public figure for so long. Whether we are members of the Commonwealth or not and whether the monarchy is relevant or […]
Last Friday, I received a slap-in-the-face lesson about Praise, and today I want to share it with you. I was walking the last 20 minutes of my daily 90-minute trek when a gentleman stopped me and asked if I had a phone. Of course! What’s the problem? There is a lady over there (gesturing to […]
Pandemic Flatulence. This is my new (uncopyrighted) term. I coined it to explain the dramatic increase in what we used to call casual brain farts. I was beginning to think the world had gone mad. Until it happened to me. Suddenly it all makes sense. July 6th, hubby and I embarked on the long drive to […]
Last month the post about endless possibilities caused a commotion. While most agreed with me, the common question, was ‘where do I start?’ Let me explain. You have a big dream. A fantastic idea you would love to happen in your life. Could be a personal goal, a business ambition or even a wild and […]
