You Know What Day It Is

It is the day when we stop and look at where we’ve been for the last twelve months and adjust our compass for where we’re going in the next twelve. You can’t move forward until you stop and look at where you’ve been. That was the biggest lesson I learned this year because it was . . . → Read More: You Know What Day It Is

The Day After

Christmas at the cape was actually better than I thought it would be – especially food wise. We were in control of our menu and aside from some pierogis, some wine and a few eggnog martinis, we did pretty well. We actually had no Xmas cookies or candy to walk by and snack on and . . . → Read More: The Day After

This Thing Called Christmas

Christmas, if you look past the shopping, presents, cleaning, food prep, decorating, and wrapping, is a wonderful holiday all on its own. It’s the only holiday that doesn’t matter what your past was like, who your family was, or whether or not you even had one. Neither your nationality, religion, tribe, or country you live . . . → Read More: This Thing Called Christmas

Further Fixed!

Today was a busy day filled with inspiration for my mind, body, and soul. The soul part was attended to by my Wednesday morning women’s bible study. I came away with the message “just bring me what you have”. Have you ever had something laid on your heart that you just know you’re being called . . . → Read More: Further Fixed!

Day 4/10 & I’m Amazed

I’m on day 4 of my 10 day reset of the P.I.N.K. Method of weight loss as featured on Dr. Phil last Monday. The first ten days you don’t do the exercise CD’s. You follow a very strict plant/protein diet for 10 days to reset your metabolism. Then there are three phases of adding foods . . . → Read More: Day 4/10 & I’m Amazed

What Shall We Shed Today?

Awwwww…maaan! Today begins the weight! Obviously trying to shed the 14 lbs in October didn’t work and much harsher measures are called for. I was bobbling along on and off my own diet plan without much direction. I knew as it got closer, December would present the challenge again because I gave the weight problem . . . → Read More: What Shall We Shed Today?

Go Day

This morning Face the Nation opened with “Today is go day.” After gathering for the long holiday weekend, today is the day “everyone gets back on their own boat”.

I laughed as that segment played across the tv because our girls were in the midst of vacating the NY hovel that we all gathered in . . . → Read More: Go Day

With Autumn We Turn Inside

It’s here. No, really here. I know the first day of fall occurred weeks ago, but the weather has been so warm and forgiving, I’ve been denying summer really just turned and walked away. Then this morning the weatherman said it : snow. It’s a bit of a flurry that has a mere chance of . . . → Read More: With Autumn We Turn Inside

Oct Gauntlets – End of Week 1

In my mind I replaced the word gauntlets with challenges. I opened my back door this morning to welcome back the warm air for probably one last time before the cold takes over to sit out here with my tea, in the warm sun, and reflect back on how my first week of “challenge study” . . . → Read More: Oct Gauntlets – End of Week 1

Step 1…..

“We come with all these parts and no instructions on how to put them together.” ~ Nepo

That was the quote I woke up to this morning. I didn’t pay much attention to it. Went on with my day. Yoga, lawn, a walk, exercises, punctuated with good food and plenty of water in between. I . . . → Read More: Step 1…..
