Though heart disease is often thought of as an [...]

…. it’s for me! The first time I ever did yoga was years ago and I had a cold. Not ideal when the class I walked into was super-quiet with n’er a creature stirring. My sneezing, coughing and general phlemgy loudness made me so nervous because I know that I was disruptive to the peacefulness [...]

If there is one truth that cannot be denied, it’s this: I absolutely, 100%, without a doubt cannot STAND Winter. At all. The extra layers, the wind, the dry skin, the piles of melting snow left by little boots in the middle of my kitchen floor that I step in every.single.time! It seriously makes me [...]

When I first heard Paula Deen had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes…well, I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t surprised. At all. Come on, now. But I was sad. You guys, I really LIKE Paula Deen. I’ve always watched her shows, and drooled, and wished I could eat what she’s preparing. But I know [...]

I know Saturdays are mostly for reviews here on The Sisterhood, but I don’t have anything to review right now. So, if you’ll forgive me, I’m going to step away from the Saturday Review today and talk about something else. Recently, we’ve reviewed our 2012 letters to ourselves and written 2013 letters to ourselves and [...]

My confessions are many. And they are ugly. I honestly don’t even know where to start. This new year, it was supposed to be a fresh start. Exercise, clean eating…reclaiming my body. Well, honestly, it hasn’t been happening. At all. I could recount all my transgressions, but truthfully, it will just make me feel bad. [...]

Alright. Here we are in the second week of January. Can you all do me a favor? Thankssomuch. Right now, take a deep breath in through your nose and then blow it out through your mouth. Then do it again. Now do a happy little dance. Chair dancing is perfectly acceptable. WE MADE IT THROUGH [...]
