Hello – I am back and ready to live!
I haven’t posted since last fall and a lot has happened in this sixties journey. My last post was about Ayurveda and how I embraced it. Well… I admit to falling off that wagon, but now am renewing my efforts to commit. It is so easy to be lazy and not do the things you…

Stranger Walk – Reminiscent of Stranger Things
I walk for a few miles most mornings, usually on the same trail the same time of day. When I walk, the people I meet are friendly, they smile, wave, say “good morning” and at least look you in the eye. This morning I was greeted with what felt like a scene from “The Walking…

My Mom – 90 and Still Fabulous!
My mother turned 90 years old today and she is amazing. She still lives on her own, in fact her boyfriend of 86 is staying with her to celebrate. She does amazingly well, even though she no longer drives and is hard of hearing. When I stopped to wish her a happy birthday, she was…
