Women, more than men, tend to attribute their weight to genetics, and some fitness experts have accused them of making excuses. Are we [...]

Yes, people. Hell hath frozen over, because I have tried Zumba. I’m not a dancer. I don’t like fitness classes. I’m self conscious of making a complete fool of myself. So, why don’t I just go ahead and try a dancing fitness class that asks you to do moves that make you feel you are [...]

I was racking my brain the last few days over what I could ask you guys to *try*. Try a new fitness class? Try a new recipe? Try a new food? Try a new techno gizmo or gadget? While those are all good ideas, none of them spoke to my heart or really captured my [...]

Tonight was huge for my husband and I. Our baby girl graduated from Purdue University. We are proud and happy and finally done paying for higher education. It is 11:04 and I just sat down at the computer. I was all excited to download (or is it upload) my pictures from the ceremony and I [...]
Do you feel the craziness that is May taking you by the throat and squeezing ever so gently. Over and over? Well, I do. This morning as I was venting to Melissa via email, and then realizing I had today’s Mantras in May, she told me to Breathe. Just Breathe. JUST BREATHE. Oftentimes we feel [...]
