The Race is On!

The Race is On!

If you have a senior, you know what I mean!  So, take a deep breath and enjoy the ride, bumps and all.  Did I say bumps?  Sure did. We will be exploring a few in the coming weeks. For now, tuck this little schedule away and know that YOUR main action items are 1) to fill out that FAFSA application and CSS profile as early as possible (ie, October 1st) and 2) serve as a support system for your…

Well, Not Officially. But It Is For Me.

September 1 – The air feels a litter crisper in the mornings, school is back in session, Halloween is peeking out from every shelf and the leaves are starting to turn. I have had a great summer and a lot of time to think about the blog.  I mentioned before that I was writing a book; that is full steam ahead.  And, with that, I am also changing the focus of the blog and my social media…

When Sleep Eludes You, There is Help

Happy Summer! I hope all of you are enjoying time with friends and family while creating lifetime memories.   Sunshine, gratefulness and love are filling my days. I am back briefly as two of my dear friends, Rachel and Kate, have developed a sleep system that can provide relief to those who may be suffering from restlessness and discomfort after undergoing medical treatment.  There was no way I…

When You Feel the Floor, There is Help!

When You Feel the Floor, There is Help!

Happy Wednesday loves, And, Happy June!  Before we head into summer, we are going to look back at May for a hot minute.  I had a lot to say about Osteoporosis over the past weeks (and more coming), but did you also know that May was Pelvic Floor Awareness Month?

Knocking it Out - The KO Luxury Organizing Way

Knocking it Out – The KO Luxury Organizing Way

Did that picture grab your attention?  Isn’t it interesting how when you see something day after day, that you become used to it and it doesn’t seem as messy as it is?  I am embarrassed that my pantry looked like that.  Ugh! The good news is that it does not anymore.  Using my friend, Kristi Ohmdahl’s KO Method, I transformed my space into something wonderful.  All I need now are the basket…

This Woman Will Inspire You - Meet Christy Kovel

This Woman Will Inspire You – Meet Christy Kovel

  Happy Monday Lovelies, Today’s post is about inspiration, strength, perseverance and the joie de vivre.  Can you imagine becoming a widow in your mid to late forties?  Honestly, I cannot.  My forties were a time of finally accepting myself and enjoying all that life has to offer.  I can’t imagine becoming a caregiver and watching my spouse succumb to illness.   And, pick up the pieces…

A Pivot Point?

Happy Friday Loves! Pure grit post. I used to think that any deviation from the original goal was a failure; some wonderful women have advised me that is not the case.    It is the journey that matters; sometimes the journey takes you to the place you were meant to be versus the place you thought you should be.  Maybe even the end of a rainbow? I am at about the six month mark of blogging and…

Let’s Get Down to the Bare Bones of It

Happy Monday loves, Did you know that May is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month?  TBH, I would not have given it a bit of attention until about three months ago.  That is when I found out that I have Osteoporosis in my low back.  At 52 years old!  Here’s the thing.  I had a a bone density scan in my mid 40s and everything was fine.  Not even a lick of osteopenia (the precursor to…
